How does Weidemann compre to a Tyrone Vickery type?

 

yeah...and he'll plss off back to his fathers filth at the first chance. Don't bother

Maybe not if we are lining up for our fourth flag on the trot. Unlike his grandpa he could actually help us achieve it. I for one would just love the irony. We need to make him and other just want to stay.

If Weideman, Francis and Curnow are gone we simply take the next best talent available. I don't want us to take the next best tall simply because we want a tall.

Of course that's assuming that those 3 are rated within the top 7.

id love it too

Let's not rely on it.

I don't like the idea of taking a tall for the sake of it. I hope we target best available regardless of size. We can get big men in via free agency when needed


Lets get the engine sorted....i get it

Like Pederson, Dawes and Clarke! I'd rather develop our own like Hogan.

he started his coming of age in the GF againt the Filth in 2011. That makes it at the end of his 5th AFL year. He was also a big body right from the start.

Like Watts, Molan or Cook?

Very different footy department than those who took cook, watts & molan oli. We have a development team now.....

At the moment we have about 1/6th of Collingwood's team potentially playing for us. With Weideman it would become over a quarter.

No such thing as the Demonobbles is there?


I really wish people would stop rubbishing poor Luke Molan. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the decision to take him. His career was destroyed by terrible luck and perhaps a lack of self-preservation. He never lacked for talent, application or aggression. Nobody could have predicted the succession of impact injuries he suffered.

On Weideman, I'd be thrilled to land either he or Curnow at 7. I think either one of them would be a great get for the club. A big, reasonably athletic forward with some mongrel and aggro is just what we need.

Like Watts, Molan or Cook?

Are you seriously comparing these three with Hogan (who has three years in our system, two under Roos)?

Ah the Weideman name.

Some of us here are old enough to remember Murray. A pest of the highest order. Could he play. When i was a kid i remember only really one aspect about Collingwood. The stab kick. It seemed like they ALL could kick. But this is an adult trying to remember.

Murray Weideman was a player. He was BLOODY good.

My first pair of footy boots were Ron Barassi 'specials' . In hindsight they were like a workman's boot with wooden stops. Yes..wooden.

But i always consider my first real sporting footy boots to be a pair of "White Diamonds".... more the thing they were Murray Weideman signature White Diamonds. I loved those boots..and even as a kid. .as a diehard Demon i still begrudgingly respected Weideman.

It worries me that he'd want to go home. I'll trust the footy dept (now)

The DNA suggests hed be something.

They were cork surely? How the [censored] old are you bb?

I was comparing them to Dawes Pederson and Clark.

Was it hard to understand that?


56..they were wooden BBO

and they were replaced twice. The last time with those new fangled placky ones !!

56!!! I'm claiming seniority. No way they were wooden .... had to be cork. Did you start drinking at an early age bb?

They were wooden stops Bbo.. sort of a ply.

Cork ? Be fn useless

OK ... we'll get an authority ... a real old bastard. Where's OD?

Last time we took a tall to fill a need was L Cook.......

Is this a joke? Most recruiters almost fell off their chair when we called Molan's name. He was rated no where near pick 9. A quick google will tell you callum twomey's 2001 phantom draft had him at 26. Yes he had terrible luck but he was also a terrible selection. Don't defend the indefensible.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
