    His actually a pretty big boy.

    I was look through all the sizes of the guys on the MFC app and Sam is 2cm taller and 1kg bigger then Sam Frost and His a man mountain.

    Give him a pre season on an AFL program and he should put on another couple more KGs,

    CP5 weighs the same but is 10cm shorter then him, what a tank!!

    Thought I should get back to your original point 'ILL', Weideman is a good size already and will be a real handful when he adds a bit more strength and fitness. I like the look of him.

    CP5...really looking forward to watching him.

    If you get a chance, do yourself a favour and watch the first quarter of the AFL Academy vs Northern Blues match from the beginning of the year. Wiedeman plays at CHF and is the dominant big man of the ground, taking 5 marks and kicking 2 goals.

    Thanks.

    Watched the first 18 minutes - 5 marks/2 goals and he looks a class tall.

    When you see that a big man moves nicely, kicks nicely and you hear that his major asset is his contested marking and manic courage then there's a lot to get excited by.

    Yep I watched the same. Tackling probably the weakness right now, he let a couple slip.

    It did look a bit like he was playing on Tom Fields, who was 1 and done at Carlton despite being able to roost the ball 75m reliably which is a bit of a worry. But still a more developed body and in what looked like a pretty competitive game.

    Assuming he is injury free what is the likliehood of him playing next season?

    playing next season. ..pretty good.

    Playing round 1 ... not likely

    If he shows form in magoos i reckon they'll blood him before seasons end in a 'lesser' game.

    In reality. ..totally up to the kid. Those who put hand up and bash on doors...will be heard.

    And what position? A true full forward with Jesse chf? Has he played mainly out of the square?

    Dawes should start to really focus on his legal career after football now.

    It seems the sand in the hourglass is disappearing for him quite quickly.

    I think they will rotate up and back, at different times both plus Petracca will be out of the square.

    Thanks. I read somewhere that he might slot into a third tall role early dawes

    Two parallel threads going on here ... we are nothing if not multitaskers.

    Weideman: will be surprised if he gets anything more than a token game or two late in the season. Has missed a lot of footy/training over the last 2 years, and has his work cut out, for this year at least.

    I like the cut of his jib. Weirderman (sic) I think he will play about 5 games next year and more importantly I think Hogan will love playing with him, these two are going to cause havoc amongst backlines for years to come. Jeff G & Kent will be licking their lips.

    Darcy Moore played 9 games last year (his first) and Joe Daniher played 5 in his first.

    Somewhere between 5-10 sounds about right.

    A good question.. until we see them line up, hard to know

    I think Weed has played a lot at FF but he just calls himself a kpp. Im sure the club has plans..

    Without an engine, Weideman would definitely start at FF, and Hogan CHF. I doubt that he plays more than 5 games next year, given his injury history. Saints eased McCartin in this year, and I think we'll do the same.

    Does anyone know where to find the video of his game against the Blues VFL side?

    He could get a lift to games or catch PT.

    That first mark and goal was very impressive.

    Here's hoping he is over his on-going injury issues and can develop into a gun full forward.

    just left training at gosch's and sam turned up (I think towards the end?) milling about having a chat with a few staff. he looked happy and eager. had his dees jacket on. he definitely gives off a confident aura. looking forward to seeing what he can do!

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
