Fair enough, MW. Collingwood die-hards might not agree with you.

I guess I'm more of a sentimentalist. I'm old. I attended the 1964 grand final. I liked the 'good old days'. But each to his own.

When a player is on an AFL list the most important thing to them is their teammates. If there's no "go home" factor then there will be little to worry about - assuming he's playing in a successful side.

 

The bummers want a tall KPP and a mid fielder.

If we don't take Weideman, they will probably take him and Curnow who has the versatility to play forward, back or midfield.

We then get left with Parish and Francis. Not bad mind you, but a good tall and a Midfielder looks better.

No way we pick him at 3 that would be a terrible pick

If he gets picked at 3 it's because they believe he'll be able to produce his best consistently enough to be worth it. Frankly who has a clue this year other than professionals who have watched them over a number of years. I trust in Taylor & Co. The more I read the less clear I am. Our picks are a lottery this year. Any of a number of players could end up being the best in this draft and others could be dudds. We won't know for about 3-4 years. Big bodies like Oliver and Curnow might impact early while we might have to wait a few years for Parish. Actually that sounds a hell of a lot like Toumpas. Aaahhh! I rest my case. Who knows.

 

3.21 20m sprint

12.4 beep.

Not great numbers. But considering his injuries and size not the end of the world either. I don't think those numbers would prevent you from drafting him. But they aren't impressive.

Yep makes me think pick 7 instead of 3 for him.. if Bombers pick him with 4/5 then id go Harry M at 7

 

Dreadful numbers those

Yep. The beep test is just as important for a key forward as it is for a mid. Without repetitive efforts and defensive accountability, he'll struggle at AFL level.

Today is a hot day which needs to be taken into consideration for those numbers.

Different conditions.

Also our pick 46 and 50 can become picks 34 and 38 if teams burnt through a lot of points on academy players. A player like Rioli could potentially skip through.

Not sure I see the point in that...

beep tests and sprint times mean very little to me. As i recall, Watts had a very impressive 20m sprint time (doesn't show on the footy field).

Hasn't played since May this year after having his second bout of ankle surgery so I've heard. Not only that, he's a stay at home Full Forward.

Yet posters are concerned with his beep test and 20 metre sprint test results?

Absurd.

Clubs would be happy in knowing that he was able to complete these tests. Simply.

There's nothing else to it.

WTF were y'all expecting?

It's a tick off the list in my eyes. Had he not been able to complete the tests due to persisting injuries, it'd be different.

But it's not.

Wonder what Jake Stringer and Lever would have scored in these tests 6 months after serious injuries...

But what if it's more of an impact of the iron deficiency he's had for a couple of years (before the ankle injury)?

He has fully recovered from his injury. If it still is restricting him then it's gonna be like that his entire career

We should get a thorough report from the Richmond doctor soon enough.

That beep is a disgrace.......

Even with recent injuries, he is meant to be preparing to be an AFL player and you'd think he would push himself right to the limit.

My best mate got a 12.8 when he was 10...

That clip is the first I've seen of Weideman and he looks class.


So is it possible that Collingwood says don't extend yourself fully Sam and you may get through to us? It's one big conspiracy.

 

Clearly the beep test is very important as demonstrated by the record holders...

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
