I personally think we got the better player of the two, and my massive call is, Weiderman will be a better player than both in my very honest opinion, he is a great talent.

That is a huge call nd I sure hope you are right.

By way of context, how did you rate say Strauss, Cook, Gysberts, Maric, <insert other NQRs> at the time of their drafting, before they appeared at the club?

Yes.

All well and good.

But you said he had 11 contested marks. At a game that you said you went to. Which is not true.

I'm not sure how you can make that mistake.

Clearly you like to exaggerate. 

Do you keep notes of every possession each time you watch a game? Easy mistake to make without accusing someone of exaggerating.

It's on you Grape if picket tops himself.

At the very least it will interrupt his stroke!!

A contested mark is somewhat easier to recognise...

11 is ridiculous in a single game.

I questioned the poster because of this exaggerated number.

Although, 11 contested marks would be close to double the highest number anyone has had this season...

Maybe a little unfair on the poster because he is just repeating what the Australian U/18 coach said. But, I still can't believe he got away with it during the draft coverage, Dunstall was shocked (and impressed) when he said it. If he had of taken 11 contested marks in a half of a VFL game there is no way he would have made it to our pick. I have watched the game a couple of times and he fades out after the first quarter where he took 5 marks.

I do like the look of Weideman, my concerns with him last year were his tackling/pressure and the lack of possessions throughout his games.

From the bits and pieces I have seen online, his defensive work looks to have improved out of sight and it appears he is still working on finding more of the footy. It's hard to judge this from videos as you can't always tell how deep he is.

Clarry Choo - would be the best Asian player in the league within a few years.

(love me some Clayton - never seen a player so young with such poise while in the hard stuff). Its a gift to watch.


He is the little engine that could.

so good to see Jetta ,Gawn ,Watts getting good games but this kid is freaky.p

Sorry Biff, but I reckon he's more like a [censored] steam train that CAN (big time) rather than the little engine that could

You are [censored] up picket. Go and seek professional help. ( And I don't mean Biffen's professionals)

We finally got a pick 4 right!

Rising star 2016 winner?

I haven't seen anyone else come close to the consistency he is having this season.

Yeah but it wasn't his exaggerated number, he was parroting comments by Sanderson. I've watched games and wouldn't necessarily notice a stat like that and if someone said after the fact thats what it was I'd be inclined to believe it.

Loved how Clarry got up Merrett at one stage.  Was really looking forward to seeing what he would do if he kicked the goal.  Sadly, he missed, so I was really looking forward to seeing what Merrett did - not sure what big Sauce said but he certainly let Clarry know that he missed.

Bit of Old Bull v Young Bull, but was great to watch a kid with such confidence.


Anyone else cringe for a second when he gets the ball thinking it's McKenzie? Might take me a while to get used to it.

18 years old...its positively frightening how good he'll be in the coming years.  I don't think I've ever been so excited by a player's ability to handpass. Love that he's a country boy as well.

Everyone's putting their money on Petracca for the rising star but jeez, Oliver is surely going to come close.

How lucky are we to have two young beasts like Oliver and Petracca?

It's like having Wolverine and Captain America, throw in Viney as Iron man

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
