Apparently Pies will ask for potential trade for Weideman.  They see him as future Full Forward alongside Darcy Moore. 

I say No but if pick 6 was on offer then they can keep talking.  

Perhaps...

Pick 6 and pick 23

for Weideman and MFC 1st round 2018 draft

I still recall Eddie McGuire talking about Wiedeman's grandpa pre-game before Sam played his first game, must've been one minute he rattled on and you could tell there was a bitter envy there. The Coc hed had the audacity to make the kids first game about Collingwood. If they offered pick 6, i think we'd have to take it if we'd found someone worth taking no matter what the position, if the team wanting the trade is going on family-club romantacism and assumed potential and not on what he's shown so far. We'd then use pick 6 for a trade that fills a hole, or we'd develop a youngster and let Taylor find a forward that fits into our forward line with Hogan, Tmac & Watts with picks, trades or FA over the next year or two.

If anything, this smells like a team trying to get in on the Lever trade. If Adelaide won't accept our 2nd round pick, then it does seem like it's Watts or Salem vs Wiedeman to get it done for Adelaide with 10 & 6

Where does Eddie sign?

Atley?!

A good kick?!

A god-awful suggestion.

100% agree with this. I've watched him closely and he is fairly useless. 

Has good speed but doesn't get enough of it and isn't damaging.

A trade of Watts for Atley would be a loss on our part.

Agree. Pies love romance of Daicos, Brown, Weideman names in their lineup.  Like we do with Viney, Stretch ...

I meant, if Collingwood were stupid enough to offer pick 6 for Weideman with where they're positioned right now to "get the lever trade done", taking that sort of a risk, then we'd take it and use it for another trade or draft a player. We'd instead offer either #10 & Watts or Salem, #10 and a 2nd round pick or #10 and 2018 1st round pick swap for Adelaide's 1st round pick... at the most for Lever imo. 

Either way, Having Lever & Pick 6/Weideman is a must for future development.

I'd trade Weid for the Pies first round pick in a heartbeat.

Coll's 6 for the Weed, then 6 to GC for Lynch. Isn't he a fa next year?

And that trade is god awful.  One of the worst I've seen on here this year.

Sure, but 6 is more than what they'd get as compo. Preserves our first pick in 2018. Leaves this year's pick 10 and 27 for Lever (or Weed+27 for 6, and 10+Watts for Lever). I'd wet my pants if we landed Lynch and Lever this year. Fanciful, certainly, but no harm asking.

As mebtioned above, players need to have some form of currency to be traded. 

Agree that there are players to go before him, but they either get delisted or swapped for steak knifes

YES PLEASE DO IT 

To trade the Weed would be a massive vote of no confidence in our recruiters and development staff. It's just Eddie fondling himself. Not going to happen.

No in fact it may be they realise the window is only open for a short time and we have to make hard decisions to get a premiership group together

It would in fact be seen as proactive team development we invested in Wied now we maximise his value

I suspect @spirit of norm smithwas bored with the lack of rumours so created one!

So easy for people to believe this line:  "Apparently Pies will ask for potential trade for Weideman.  They see him as future Full Forward alongside Darcy Moore". 

Nothing whatsoever, to lend any cred to the claim.  Its not even a rumour!

The trade talk surrounding Weed is some of the funniest I've heard and if posters buy it they have genuinely NFI about anything regarding football lists and list management.

Let's understand a bit about Sam first and the context surrounding him as a player and what the word 'development' looks like:

Having come off pretty much no pre-season leading into his last year of TAC cup (his draft year), he managed only five games at TAC cup level as well as the game he played against the Northern Blues where he showed enormous potential. The injury was due to an ankle stress fracture that he eventually had operated on and he also had an iron deficiency at the same time.

Sam was touted as a top three pick at one stage based on his talent levels for his type of player and what he had shown as an underaged player the year previous.

So he had next to no pre-season leading into his last year with the Rangers, only managed five games at TAC cup level that year before having an operation, and then he had to carefully manage and rehab an extremely delicate injury that can easily be re-aggravated.  

Have a think about how much conditioning and fitness he lost during that time and compare it to his contemporaries at that level? Yet we still had the balls to take him inside the top 10 on the back of all that! So into the club he came on a very modified first pre-season with the full knowledge and understanding that he was going to take time. Much more time than your average first year underdeveloped forward given his injury history. 

And look what he achieved in his first year at Casey on the back of all of that conditioning he missed. Granted, this year was clearly more difficult for him but I still saw games in which he played and looked like an AFL level player playing in a lower league.

In what will be his second full pre-season both in the gym and on the track, I know that we're going to see him a lot more at AFL level next year and I also know that he's going to show why he was picked inside the top 10. As soon as his body allows, his AFL level talent will shine on the big stage.

The Weed is not going anywhere.
