My source has confirmed this.

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. 

 

Well take it to the bank spirit we will take him at pic 3. 

Its the melb way!

Well he's not even in the top 20 in most phantom drafts so unless he's seriously bolted. Saints will give pick 6 to Freo so they aint gonna use it on him. There's also 2-3 other good forwards in the top 20 like Caleb Serong & Taheny.

I like the look of Flandersisis at number 10

not just for the simpsons joke opportunities.  big body, mid and fwd.  if we split pick 3 he's the type we might get

I have no issue with us getting 2 or even 3 forwards with the picks we have in the draft. Its our biggest glaring list hole and the only way to convert some of that inside 50 dominance.

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.

 

Watched at Shepley oval and wasn’t that impressed. Say hi next time hey. Ash and Young were the standouts and I’d be happy with either for pace (Ash) and class (Young).  Kobi George is one to watch.  He could be an NGA special for Dees

No.

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

Agree need smalls.

I haven’t seen anyone yet n watching a dozen nab games this year.  Reckon we either trade in or put another year into Chandler and Bedford. 

Id assume Browne hasn’t put 2 and 2 together. I’m sure both us and stkilda are keen - like we are both keen to ‘split our picks’ to have 2 mid-first round picks. A pick 15 wouldn’t be too high for Weightman if he tests well at the combine.

Fantasy Post (if split picks)

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

 

That would be an insanely good trade period for us if we can pull that off. I think that will block every deficiency we have and push us right back up there assuming the boys work hard over summer and we remain healthy. 

We would still have to use our 3rd and fourth round picks in the draft in that scenario however, so we would need to clear a total of 7 list spots...

Jeffy, Keilty, Lewis, Maynard (confirmed) ... JKH, ANB & J Wags? 

 

They talk about him on the latest Road To The Draft Podcast, on the AFL website. I tweeted a question to them about how high he could go, and they answered it. Even made fun of my Twitter name ?

Can he slide to pick 38 that's when I'd like to pick him up. If we split our picks that will have me peeved. It didn't work the first time pretty stupid to do it twice. Kelly and Billings are a lot better than Salem and Tyson can't get a game.

Anyone got a highlight video of this kid?  Good chance we swoop on him a pick 8 if you believe the rumours.  He would fill a huge need for us (if hes good enough)

Would be nice to have a star small forward at the club.  We haven't had one since Jeff Farmer and he only had one great season anyway.

Jeff Farmer had two excellent seasons, 1998 when he took us to a prelim off his own boot and 2000 when he took us to the GF off his own boot. 

I've changed my mind on Weightman.

Rather take a chance on this bloke tbh...

Super green and possibly a year or so off it but....Genuine X factor, cat like around goals and can take a nice speckie.  Came 10th in the National Combine in the running leap test as well.

A small that has the tall traits a la Cyril (speckie at the 1 minute mark)...

Bit of mongrel never hurt either....

Sixth sense around goal...

If we draft another Spargo at pick 3 then that’s it for me.

We've had a good go at moderately paced midgets without tricks over the years.

Also reminds me of Parish hype a few years back.

Little blokes need to have Rioli type skills for top 10  IMO.

So looks like you're basing your entire opinion on Weightman on having no vision of him. Right. Name one decent source that has Pickett above Weightman..

Saying he is like Spargo or Parish is pretty funny. For starters he is a small forward, not a small mid. Maybe watch a video or two of his games, you would never make those comparisons.

Not at all 247.  Watched all highlight vids (about 5) via the league App and he looks very solid.  I've been keen on him for a few weeks but that was prior to seeing Pickett.  Taylor might be a step up on both but haven't seen any videos.

I'm not worried about sources or draft positions.  I trust what i see albeit i realise it's limited vision vs Weightman but the eyes don't lie.  This bloke is a cat with the X factor we need imv.

Having said that i doubt anyone would pick him up in the top 20 or so as they'll be too scared of getting the pick wrong i reckon.   Necks on the line.

Don’t get me wrong, I would like us to pick him up. Unfortunately we don’t have an appropriate pick atm

Yes i agree.  He'll be gone by 97 or whatever it is.  Unless we can somehow split the pick and still be g'teed of landing Young with the first.  That might give us 6, 8 and something in the 20s/30s that's more appropriate.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’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 psychologist  It’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 let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed 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).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’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 ruckman’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 Demons’ 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.

    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?
