WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM WEIDEMAN

[beelzebub 23,313]

He'll be given time .

[rjay 24,887]

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?

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

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..

[mo64 5,853]

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.

[daisycutter 29,604]

barring injury, 5 games seems a reasonable expectation

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,663]

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.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,663]

Thanks for that ProDee!

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,663]

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.

[Mt. Dee-Maaan 607]

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!

[beelzebub 23,313]
