Me too however it appears that is not going to happen.

So what is the best we can achieve from the move?

To honest I have little idea but you would hope we get as good a deal as Adelaide got for Lever.

The deal we get is Weideman playing the whole year, and not a hint of a winge. There i said it......

    No deal he put in his best games in the last month of the season however he is still to prove he is a 22 game player in 2019.

    ? lollll.. nup, he said he loved my company, would buy me a house, that i could've made it in the afl and that we should go for a few surfs down the coast over the summer.. we then sat and smoked a pack of holiday 40's, listening to really modern JJJ dance music with lots of strobe lights

    In olden time movies, this is where they cut to a train going into a tunnel and left the rest to your imagination.

    I'll be at the Bluey courtesy of WJ, who had a spare ticket.

    I am sure he will report any news to DL.

    Let's face it,  the 2 year only extension was the 'tell' ... I felt like saying something here at the time but who needs an ongoing argument with half the site?  I reckon many were grateful that he'd decided to stay back then but 2 years down the track,  the landscape has changed.

    Just like Tommy Mac’s two year deal was a tell?

    might have more to do with timing and pending free agency ...no ?

    No, Tom wanted to see how the club was heading, Goodwin was about to take over as head coach, like everyone else, he didn’t know exactly how things would go with yet another head coach.

    The biggest concern I have about our bullish attitude to the trade is a lot of people are already expecting Weideman to just step in a be a gun forward for us next year. I was really pleased by what he showed in the Cats game and parts of the Hawks game but he's still got a long way to go before we can hedge our bets on him.

    The 2nd tall for TMAC...is far different than the number one spot ...he'll be right.

    There's no pressure on Weid, he doesn't need to kick 50 straight up. 25-30 would be par, the rest around him can lift like Petracca and a full season out of TMAC plus whatever they have planned for that 2nd ruck. Weid 30, Trac an extra 10-15 and we're laughing. Mason Cox only kicked 25 goals in 24 games FFS.

    No,  wasn't at all concerned with that 2 year deal for Tommy.  It is not one size fits all.  Different player and a different type and the circumstances are and were entirely different. 

    As it's turned out,  those people who were concerned about the 2 year only extension with Hogan look like they were rightfully concerned. 

    As I stated in an earlier post,  we are behind the times here in Oz but we're catching up ... big name players on big money need to be stitched up on long term deals so as to satisfy the clubs needs and the players needs.  And if the info is correct,  Hogan is on a reportedly $850k per year with us.  That is decent coin.

    That sort of money would normally involve a longer deal especially for a player who was only 21 years old at the time.  At least 3 years but more like 4 or 5 years

    Both 1 and 2 were shouted down about a month or 6 wks ago. Some children demanding the thread be closed, others claiming trade scenarios were a waste of time as he was 'settled'. The usual suspects telling us what we are allowed to think. There was some good discussion on what his value might be both on our list and as a trade.

    I'd like him to stay, but understand now is a good time to maximize trade benefits if he is open to a move. He's a quality player, but we have the ability to significantly improve our list should he go. Doubt we'd get 2 x 1st rounders next year, certainly not when he becomes a FA. 

    The thing that sticks out most to me, is that the 2 main culprits who were so damn arrogant early in this thread are now trying to pass themselves off as a voice of reason regarding Jesses trade value, and carrying on like its no surprise to them. 

    What IS no surprise is that they are too bloody stubborn to put a hand up and say sorry to everyone whos intelligence they unnecessarily insulted.

    If the trade happens, i await their response with interest.

    Let me see, a good outcome for the trade/draft period, given our present list situation for me would be the following:

    Delist/retired - Vince

                                  Balic

                                  Pedersen

                                  King

                                  McKenna

                                  Bugg

                                  Filipovic

    Free agency –    in - Gaff - would also like to have a crack at Lynch but that looks like a done deal to the Tiges

    Trade in –           May and KK for a top 10 pick and a pick 2nd/3rd round (Note: if we do not land May do we look at Shiel and Finlayson from GWS to use our early draft position from the move of Hogan?)

                                  Preuss – 2nd/3rd round?

    Trade out –         Hogan - Get back two top 10 picks and cap space to accommodate Gaff and possibly one other ‘name’ recruit

                                  Kent – Get back a 2nd/3rd round

                                  AVB – not sure he will go but may get a 2nd/3rd round

     

    So, already 7 out the door with 3 more (Hogan, Kent & AVB) possible. That is 10 spaces on the list that can be sorted out between the senior list and the rookie list as required. 4 coming back via the trades above but I suspect one more in addition to the above. That would leave 6 spaces with us holding a first round and a few 2nd and 3rd round selection.

    This is going to be a very interesting draft/trade period for the Dees. Will be interesting to see the washup come the end of it all.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
