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.

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.

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

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
