Today's Whisper inĀ theĀ Herald SunĀ "Which small time manager is set to make life difficult for one Melbourne Club over a promising young key forward, given his new contract demand has a seven at the start of it?"

Weideman is a promising key forward, from a "Melbourne" club and has small time managerĀ Ben Williams from players ink.

$700k per year.... it must be an early April fools joke.

    With the departure of Hogan this was always on the cards - wait for the Collingwood rumours to surface soonĀ

    So far he's kicked 17 goals in 21 games and his ruck work, as we saw last week, needs a lot of work.

    The Pies wouldn't offer more than 300K a season for him on those figures, but if they are really keen then I'd suggest we offer a direct swap for Mason Cox!

    He better start clunking more marks and kicking more goals otherwise I'd be happy to make a trade. He has lots of potential but that is all he has shown at the moment. 1 good final does not write your own contract.

    Right now that figure has one too many zeros.

    Going by how their forward line worked last night, they don't need him.

    lol. you lot. why is everyone talking about his statistics to date when it's clearly about his potential going forward? He has shown he has potential and lets be honest, he is probably worth that amount to us. Especially with the loss of Hogan.Ā

    True. Eddie forcing us to pay overs is a win for Eddie too.

    Weid's potential is there and he would need to produce a good consistent block of games this year and score many goals 50 plus to be thought of a 700 k contract.Ā  He is level headed and knows what he has to do to earn respectĀ  and his keep on the field.

    Never say never however he is well entrenched atĀ  the Demons.

    Maybe not totally out of the question if he plays well, Ā but need to see how the season unfolds. (Boyd got a mill a season or something didnā€™t he? Probably 30%+ less than what Lynch gets)

    Need to lock in the key drivers ( particularly key forwards) and he could turn out to be one. Must admit l hate it when he goes into the ruck.

    Bit of a dopey ā€˜stir the potā€™ leak at this point though IMO ,as itā€™s all up to the Weid.

    Nothing much to see ATM ,he would need to lift performance to get many suitors ( if indeed its him they are talking about) on output to date.

    On the other hand imagineĀ $700k would get you a very good replacement for him.

    Ā Collingwood don't have the money, going by the fact Beams caused team mates to take a haircut last year.

    Luckily Weeds is a level headed young man. He will take a contract at 350K for a couple of years and back himself to develop and get a better deal.

    the rest is media/manager BS

    If Cox plays well Collingwood will not be interested. There will be interest from other clubs irrespective of how well he plays.

    My thoughts are that he will back himself and take a two year deal at around $4-500k and punt on the next deal as his payday.

    that'd be a terrible deal if he was a manager; below the average wage

    he's a key forward, which are pretty rare, and our whole structure is built around him and t mac

    i'm very confident he'll sign up

    I would have hoped that the Weed would be on a performance-based contract - he is there to kick goals and he ain't got none, yet. He is not worth that amount. Preuss could do it all for him and then some with a little practice. Weid is not in the league of Jacovich, Lyon, Schwarta, Bennett or even Whacko Jacko who in relative terms did bigger things for lesser amounts, more often. I, for one, don't think we need him that much if we could settle our game style and use the current crop of players more wisely at selection.

    Tick. Correct, again.

    Mods, how can this thread remain open? Ā There is no indication that this "whisper"Ā is about Weideman, and is only going to cause unnecessary arguments what the player is worth. Ā It's also showed that people will take personal potshots at the kid.

    This thread will get out of control even more than what it is presently.

    My guess is that if he kicks 50 plus goals this year he will be signed for around 600k. (2 year deal).

    Hogan's departure freed up some money on the salary spreadsheet which took a hit last year at the extensions of Tom McDonald and Brayshaw both of which were almost certainly contracted at a higher figure than what we would have budgeted for a year before

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistĀ  Itā€™s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanā€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsā€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
