    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!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
