Does so much right. Goal kicking is one of the easiest things you can teach and we know he has a good kicking action. 
He is so inexperienced and has been in and out of the side a lot. He needs confidence and to work on his mental game.

I still think he could be a belter. Normally has a beautiful kicking action, but wasnt so good today.

Im not off the Weed yet.

I think a rotation of Trac and Gus in the midfield with resting HFF would be fine, Trac can be dangerous in the Fwd line but cant play midfield full time imo. juggling 5 of them shouldnt be too hard.

 

Funny though the game turned when Gus was a genuine mid

It's all between the ears for Weids. Almost a given that if he misses one early, he'll miss more. Hopefully that late one will help him get the confidence back cause he's killing it everywhere else.

Unfortunately his kicking is consistently poor. I wonder if he's been practising it at training

He kicked 39.24 over his career, showing he is a great kick for goal. 

This year he has 12.7.

Even adding a couple of misses to that, he still has a healthy accuracy.

12 goals from 6 games. Only 5 players averaging more than 2 goals a game this year. Of those 5, only Kennedy and Dixon are talls. He’s having a GREAT season.

Should have had 5 by half time. He is a key forward taking marks in front of goal between 20 to 40m and near straight in front yet converting at about 20%. Convert 2.3 to 5 and you are a superstar! He is doing the hard work well but kicking??

Goodwin leaving Weideman out earlier on the year was not the right decision.. Our forward line looks potent ever since he came back into the side.

On the surface of it, yes absolutely.
You can never really know though, particularly with a developing player like Weid.

Brayshaw was kept out of the 2018 team for the first three rounds, went on to finish third in the Brownlow.
We'll never know if he would have had the same year without the development/kick up the bum that those first three rounds gave him.

For better or for worse, Weid didn't play for four rounds... but now he's in career best form.
Did we miss out on having our best forward playing, or did those rounds in development lead to his current form?

so easy to say in hindsight. out of form and not getting near it in the practice games, but you are definite he should have played?. that could also been disastrous until he showed he was ready.

Despite a few easy misses, Weid is still a great kick (would back him in more often than not) and really impresses with his contested work. Only knock on him has been his ability to compete and breakeven a contest around the ground, which this year he has really gotten more aggressive with his contested work. Seems to be more of a complete player - one on one, contested marking/spoiling and at ground level. Starting to see for the first time why we let go Hogan for May. If we can keep delivering the ball well to this bloke he's a 2-3 goal a game player.

The set shot misses are bad - all of them should have been goals. IIRC he missed one or two vs Brisbane as well.

But so much else is going right for him. His leading, his leap at the ball, his confidence, even his follow up work when it hits the deck. It's all really important and all improving.

He's a critical component to any future success we want to have.

I'm confident the set shots will improve. He was a wonderful kick in 2018. I'm sure it's there to be regained.

Wouldn’t it be great if he came of age with his first big bag against his grandfather’s old team with Eddie in the commentary box or the studio reminding us for the nth time about the family history?

Technically Weid is a good kick. I am sure he will be ok.

Absolutely loved seeing the Weid mark tonight. One grabber to Spargo on the lead in the 2nd and used his body strongly for both his goals. Big step forward tonight for me. Always viewed him a double grabber but tonight massive step forward.

Yep I'm not worried about his kicking. The big question mark over him was his ability to stick marks and hit packs. He's doing that now and I'm confident the goals will come. He's already averaging 2 a game this year which is a handy return, if he pushes up to 3 or more a game that's Coleman Medal territory in this day and age.

Why does he always look like he has been punched in the face?

Every game he seems to have some sort of mark under his right eye.

 

P.S. his workrate today was fantastic. Hit up lead after lead and doubled back when the pass didnt come his way.

Developing nicely.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
