Happy with our pick?

I'm happy with Weideman's development, no doubt about that.  The only other player I'd consider swapping him for on that list is Curnow, who is going to be a star of the competition very soon.  I think Weideman can become a terrific player for us long term, though.

    I think Curnow had a slight edge on the weid.  However playing the last h&a rounds were tense games and the Weid played well.   His first 2 finals were exceptional and expect him to rise to another level in 2019.

    Weideman IMO is developing into something special and will definitely hold his own.

    As for Mckay, Himmelberg and Hipwood they are improving types and Schache i believe  is lagging behind.

    It's a good crop of promising young players.  Whilst Curnow is the best of the bunch to date, he is nowhere near the player that the press has pumped him up to be.  He's an exciting talent and very promising for the future, but like Hipwood, hasn't put it together just yet.  And of course, they shouldn't be expected to.  Hogan, Brown, Riewoldt are very much the exceptions rather than the rule.

    Hipwood and Curnow look like they have the talent and athletic ability to tear games apart.  I personally don't see Curnow playing as a KPF for much longer.  I'd see him as a roaming half-forward/wingman.  A lot of the Hipwood hype has died down over the last year or so, but he kicked 37 goals last year in a very average team.

    I was very keen on McKay in his draft year, but he hasn't developed the athletic edge I though he would to this stage of his career.  If Weideman can develop his consistency and his partnership with McDonald, he should develop into a very good KPF for us. 

    Himmelberg could go either way.  I watched a bit of him last year, but he doesn't strike me as a 'main man' and may only thrive as a 2nd or 3rd tall; a bit like Cam Mccarthy in his GWS days.  Schache is a bust... not a lot to add to that.

    At this stage:

    1) Curnow

    2) Hipwood

    DAYLIGHT

    3) Himmelberg

    4) Weideman

    5) McKay

    A LOT OF DAYLIGHT

    6) Schache

     

    5 years from now:

    1) Curnow

    2) Hipwood

    3) Weideman

    4) McKay

    5) Himmelberg

    A LOT OF DAYLIGHT

    6) Schache

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
