Indeed, playing Frost up front may have been part of his intended development as a KPD.

Or, just his development.

A suggestion to the webmaster when next considering an upgrade

is there any way that we could get the thread title IN BIG BOLD PRINT at the top of the box in which we type replies?

This thread is headed  Sam Weideman and Liam Hulett  but we have seen much of the last page discussing just about anything but.  

 

For what it's worth I heard a rumour that the club went to Sam a few weeks ago to ask if he felt he was ready for an AFL game, it seems they were looking to bring him in. He told them that he didn't feel ready and wanted to continue his development in the VFL.  

If true, says a lot about his honesty, you could imagine many players saying they were ready just to get a game.

i like bold print.

I think I may need glasses soon.

However Monocc,

Some people may think of this as modern yelling.

Those storms in Sydney were something else.

Glad I dont live in a big house by the Sydney Harbour-what losers.

What were we on about before?

Interesting but hard to believe anyone would turn down the chance to make their debut if the coach thinks he is ready. Go for it Weeds!

Forget about the physical similarities, Weideman thinks and plays like a key forward and that's not Watts' go. 

Weideman attacks marking contests with belief and fearlessness and that has never been Watts' strong suit.

Agree. The bit i have seen of the weed he just looks like a pure full forward. Natural leading patterns  and terrific attack on the ball in the air. Not in build but he reminds me a bit of jason dunstall.

Love that he's learning his craft at Casey. Once in seniors a triangle of watts, hogan and weed (out of tge square) will be a formidable forward line, particularly with Petracca as a wild card. Cant wait.

Come on Biff.  Get it right.  Talking in CAPS is yelling.  Talking in bold is talking with a glare.  And talking in colours is just being dee-luded.

And Mono, nice point.  FWIW, Weed and Huey are not yet ready yet.

You can by this years selections that finals are not quite on the agenda yet. These boys will play sometime after the bye

The Weed won't play this season, they're doing what they did with Hogan as 17 year old and giving him a season in the VFL to develop his game and get his body right which is great. This would explain the reason they traded there 2016 first round pick to get a player ready for the 2017 season which is when we will be makeing the move into the top 8.

Good way to look at the traded pick, give up a first rounder for the opportunity to develop a first rounder for 12 months. Stll would like to see him get a taste late in the year, but I guess we will see.

I guess it depends on we're we are at by the end of the season. If we are in the race for the 8th spot he won't play, if we slide he will play.

Oscar was given the final two games last year and his Brother a few years earlier under a different regime.

It wouldn't surprise me if he's given a taste at season's end to whet his appetite over summer.

Without meaning to sound too negative... I would be completely astounded if we are in that race come the last 4/5 weeks if we a still "mathematically" there then great but i think Adelaide is going to put a 2-4 game gap on the 9th-11th teams over the next month and a half. I hope to finish 9th, will be a fantastic result for the club but we would have to improve alot on the first half of the year and adelaide would have to fall on their own sword just to give us a slim finals chance.

I am just interested in why he hasn't been named for Casey this week? Surely to see him kick a bag against Collingwood would be better for his development than 'resting' him the following week!

Weiderman reminds me so much of Tom Lynch from the Suns in how he attacks the ball, i really think he, Hogan, Watts, Petracca, Garlett and co will become a nightmare for opposition teams

I'm picturing these fantastic forward options as Col streams out from the backline with his customary dash and pinpoint accuracy.

We play Adelaide at the G in a couple of weeks. If we beat the maggots, lose to Sydney, then beat Adelaide, we remain in the hunt.

Totally agree with this. They most likely will bring him in to play in the last couple of games when finals hopes are completely in doubt.

I would hope he comes in and helps in our quest for finals.

I have no faith in the incumbent.

Weed and Hulett highly unlikely to play senior footy this year.Reminds me of Harmes and Hunt in that they have taken time to develop. No purpose playing Weed in swamp like conditions v Collingwood reserves 11/6/2016 match.

Hip flexor injury CBD. Will be back after the bye. I'm assuming they meant the first one so that would mean the Rnd 13 Richmind game or at worst the Rnd 15 match against Bulldogs

How many byes do they have in the VFL? Time to just have a proper reserves comp it stifles development and team selection.

I'd be happy enough to keep a relationship with scorps but just for development league level. Really need a proper in-house Magoos

100% agree Gonz, too many byes in the VFL. We have 2 more byes in the next 4 weeks after having one 2 weeks ago, The VFL draw is a disgrace
