Sam Weideman + contract

Today's Whisper in the Herald Sun "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 manager 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 soon

    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.

    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.  He is level headed and knows what he has to do to earn respect  and his keep on the field.

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

    Maybe not totally out of the question if he plays well,  but need to see how the season unfolds. (Boyd got a mill a season or something didn’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 ‘stir the pot’ leak at this point though IMO ,as it’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 imagine $700k would get you a very good replacement for him.

     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?  There is no indication that this "whisper" is about Weideman, and is only going to cause unnecessary arguments what the player is worth.  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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
