    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
