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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
