Tom Browne reported this morning that draft bolter Cody Weightman is being considered by St  Kilda at pick 6 but also Dees with our first pick.

177cm All Australian electrifying small forward who plays for Dandenong Stingrays.

Obviously the theme for us during the draft will be small forwards and outside players.

    Is he a relative of the Sunraysia Weightman's??

    Yes we need a small forward, and pace and flair and skill.  There is no boom recruit on the list developing nicely, no back up talls.

    Last year we drafted short...we need everything except inside mids...

    He’s a good small forward, but doubt he’s worth pick 3. Late first round early second round I’d have thought.

    I know we need small forwards, but you draft on talent not need so early in the draft. If we used pick 2-3 on him, I’d seriously question the recruiting staff.

    How’s his marking and leaping? Most good small forwards have an uncanny ability to jump high for a grab. Eg Elliott, Ryan, Cameron

    It's a strength of his, no problems there.

    Weightman is a Spargo like player.  Not the 200+ gamer that is the top 10 aim. 

    I would rate 20 youngsters well before Weightman.

    JT would be a lunatic to pick him at 3.

    Spargo cant jump/leap or take a grab.

    Waaayyyy faster than Spargo, kicks goals, and isn't as short. They both have blonde hair though?

    I take it Tom is a bit confused. Doubt we’d take him at 3. But perhaps if we split the pick we’ll take him. Kind of player we need.

    This comment just proved that you have not watched Weightman in the flesh live and only going off what you read on Bigfooty draft boards.

    I shall and won't explain any further only to say that Weightman is a completely different player to Spargo. And this coming from someone who had a lot to do with Charlie when he was coming through our development squad in the Murray Bushrangers program.

    So DD36 would you advocate us taking him with our first pick? possibly at 3?

    No.

    But it shows the type of payers we will be looking at. Small forwards and outside runners. Weightman obviously fits that bill.

    Thanks mate,  good to have your expertise on these things, as im not an avid u/18 watcher, but its clearly a need for us and he might be a good pick if we split our first pick, would you take him at pick 14 if he is there?

    This is my exact thought.  If we do split our pick into the teens then i think we will definitely consider Weightman.

    For pick 3 i would be looking at either Hayden Young or Sam Flanders. I had Lachie Ash alongside Young, but have changed as i still feel he needs a good body of work if he is to push up to a midfield role. Have a feeling he will drop a couple of spots.

    Flanders is pushing himself really hard into top 5 contention. Keep an eye on him.

    • 1st round picks from GWS; draft Weightman, trade for Laird.
    • 2nd round pick; Langdon.
    • FA; Elliot and Tomlinson

    177cm hardly makes him tall, would call that short by AFL standards unless he's had a sudden growth spurt.

    is there any vision on Weightman around, hls?

    Point is he doesn't look undersized, like Spargo. The comparison makes no sense.

    I agree with everything Dazzle has said. He's exactly the sort of player we should be looking at, especially if we can trade down.

    Thanks for the feedback on this kid, Davos. In time, can you seeing him being capable of moving up the ground for stints or is he a small forward specialist?

    It says in the below article that he can, but from what I've seen I'd rather he just focused on being as damaging as possible forward. In the few times I've seen him, he's one of those small forwards that looks dangerous whenever they're near the ball.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
