    Juice spilled some of the easiest marks I've ever seen but at least he could get to the drop of the ball and be in a position to take them.

    i'm yet to see any evidence that weid can read the flight of the ball.

    it get's excused on demonland as bad kicking but I can assure you juice wasn't getting it on a silver platter

    I've seen Weid get into good position in front many times. His issue is he hasn't the body yet to hold his ground. He gets pushed aside too easily. Greater strength, particularly core strength, will improve this. I've also noticed his tackling is good for a player his size.

    Yes and no, his agility is poor and he doesn't fully commit to defensive acts often when he is the only player within the vicinity and the team needs him to, but he has shown some strong signs with his tackling in congestion.

    Agreed, he's moved off the ball and has his approach blocked - that gives the impression he is out of position.  If it's still happening in a year or two, then we have real issues.  He's a junior player on the list - he needs to fill out.

    How come Robbie Flower could always get to the drop of the ball and not be pushed out of the way? It is more than a strength issue.

    it's not a weight/size issue. plenty of players with his build do quite well with marking, holding their ground etc

    Because, despite appearances, he was deceptively strong and incredibly well balanced.

    Don't judge tall forwards too early. Very few are able to set the world on fire straight away, which is why Jesse is a freak.

    Josh Kennedy was rubbish when he played for Carlton. Look how that turned out.

    This. He had incredible agility. Plus he was Robbie Flower.

    Because he invented the Toby Green don't argue flying for the ball with his legs parallel to the ground and feet directed at anyone who wanted to get in the way of him or the ball. All 70kg's of him.

    Weideman has shown enough to suggest that with time and development he can become a good player. 

    Hes alresdy dominated games at VFL level and as his body develops I'm sure that'll transition to AFL

    the big guys do seem to take 3-4 years to get going

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
