I just watched the AIS Academy vs Northern Blues game - and I must admit - very impressed by Weideman.

Presents well, good leading patterns, strong mark, good set shot, very competitive and gets into the contest when the ball hits the ground.

He's got a lot of attributes that are well suited to the modern game.

    Dal Santo. IIRC Daniher didn't specify Molan, rather he asked CC to draft the 'toughest' kid in the draft, which CC assessed to be Molan.

    Who we never ever had an opportunity to see, due to random unrelated injuries

    Yes great to see a forward line in our 2017 finals campaign as:

    Kent Weideman Vince

    Gartlett Hogan Petracca

    Weideman is good enough to be a key fwd in the AFL within 2 years

    That does look good.

    It's also good to acknowledge that my sense of schadenfreude outweighs my hatred for the filth.

    My, what would WYL think......

    Sam Blease came from Eastern Rangers!! Highly credentiallled!!

    Give me a Graeme Yates Dandenong Stngray, anyday!!

    Not discounting the Weed, however!!

    Hips hnmm shades of Toumpas revisited!

    Just a little Cautious or as I have used in the past

    "Caveat Emptor"

    Tom Scully was a Stingray, Petracca was from Eastern. Just saying.

    Yes on both counts.

    I don't like his filthy bloodline, you just know it's only a matter of time until Bucks ambushes him on an oversees holiday and convinces him to join Pappie's old club!

    Just can't see Weideman lasting until 7.

    all I want for Christmas is Weid in the Melbourne Xmas stocking. after that grab a mid.

    The fact that he supports Richmond, not Collingwood, is the best thing I've heard about him. I'm a lot keener on him now.

    Is it at all out of the realm of possibly we take Weideman at 3 and we take the mid that falls to us at 7 out of Mathieson, Oliver & Francis given Parish would be snapped up prior to our next live pick?

    Is there more upside in landing a KPF to partner with Hogan and a mid who may not be as good as Parish now in his junior years? Is the gap between Parish and the other mids that great we MUST take Darcy at 3 and miss out on a chance at getting a KPF in the draft?

    Whichever course the club follows, it will certainly provide a nucleus for vehement and passionate debate on this site for many years to come.

    Undoubtedly there will be some who will get great joy out of advocating their position should both picks not turn out to be Brownlow medalists within a few years.

    I think the odds are that there will be a better secondary choice option available as a KPF at pick 7, than there will be as a midfielder if we pass on Parish at pick 3.

    I'd rather Parish + Weideman/McKay/Curnow than Weideman/McKay/Curnow + Mathieson/Oliver/Francis.

    Parish certainly doesn't last til pick 7 unfortunately.

    You were just telling us the other that a source within the club told you we would be getting parish at 3...

    Parish and Weideman would be a pretty strong get for mine. My preference is Weideman over Curnow if both were available as I do have a concern that the latter could be a jack of all trades, master of none. I'm generally wrong.

    This may be more suited to the 'differing opinions' thread - but you know what JR, this is what Demonland needs - a little self deprecation. Everyone's become a [censored] expert on this site.

    We should have a confession thread. I'll start: I too thought Toumpas would be good. I thought Lucas Cook would be part of the answer to our forward line problems and I was staggered Dom Barry wasn't at least a poor man's Cyril Rioli. I am now thinking Curnow could be fools gold and Weideman may be the next Pavlich.

    Go Dees.

    Just read that Weideman and Burton will undergo special medical screening 6 days before the draft.

    If Weideman comes back as negative it could change the landscape of the top 10.

    Mmm, the plot thickens...

    My immediate reaction is that Collingwood is playing tricky buggers.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
