Why ? are you the only one who watches the games?  I don't need your stats mate. You are are just having a bad week criticising.

I have noticed your postings.  Worse luck.

Couple of things here:

1) Stats are important if you want to analyse the game and its players correctly. Your point is centred around the fact he's coming up to his 6th season. In his 5 so far, he's played 44 games. That's an average of 8.8 games of footy a season, or less than 2 full seasons worth of footy. 

2) My week is going just fine thanks.

If 2020 was a full 22 game season, the following players would have kicks 40+ goals: 

Hawkins, Kennedy, Gunston, Dixon. 

So you're saying that it's unacceptable if Weid isn't in the top 4 goalkickers in the league next year? Even though he'll be playing as a second tall with Brown? 

If you look at the second forward for each of the teams those players played on, only Darling was more productive than Weideman. So you're thinking Weid's production will increase when Brown comes into the team, and so much so that he will be one of the top 4 most productive key forwards, even though he will be playing as the second tall option?

And anything less than that is 'not acceptable' ...... ?

 

If 2020 was a full 22 game season and he played every game, Weid would have kicked approximately 33 goals.

So yes, 40+ goals in 2021 must happen.

It's most certainly still deliberating but he gets a resounding credit in the bank for picking Oliver in that same draft.

At the moment JT overpaid but in fairness Weid isn't yet in his mid-late 20's  which is the prime years of an AFL player. We can make the final judgement in a few years.

Absolute rubbish. Since when is KPF in their "prime" at 23 years old? 

As I recall, Hawkins was in year 6 or 7, in a regular finals team with a dominant midfield, before he “took off”.

(Please correct me if I am wrong).

Yep that sounds about right. 

In the 5th season of Tom's career (2011), he had played a total of 80 AFL games in consistently good team. In that same year, he kicked 27 goals @ an average of 1.5 goals per game.

Sam has played 44 games in a poor team over the same period. This year, Sam kicked 19 goals @ an average of 1.46 goals per game. 
 

But hey, let's not let reason get in the way of a good ol' player bashing on DL.

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
