Do we trade him now, potentially for a 2nd round pick or do we let him battle away at the Casey Wind Tunnel for a year, by the end of which he'll be out of contract and off to a new home?

If we're bringing in BBB we may as well trade Weid now whilst he has some currency.

    Brown and Weideman as the key talls with Jackson as the utility...

    Are you serious? We're not bringing in BB to be our only key forward. Weid will play second tall forward, with Jackson forward/ruck.

    Why are posters seemingly so keen to move on Weideman (and Brayshaw)?

    I want to see Weideman playing alongside Ben Brown where he will benefit from not drawing the best defender.

    In all seriousness though, he is a young KPP who has shown ability. He hit the comp well this year with high goals per game ratio as our no. 1 KPF, with limited back up.

    His stock is probably all time low on the trade matket and he has upside and he has the chance to play alongside BB next year. 

    IMO trading him now is a poor choice.

    It's a bit of a mare this one. Are you a bit angry we brought him in, mate?

    We clearly targeted Brown to play alongside Weideman.

    This gives us tremendous flexibility with Jackson and straightens us up massively.

    The cherry on top is he'll cost us a second rounder at most.

    Win, win, win.

    Sure, but he needs less dog in him now that he'll have the second defender.

    Having Brown on the ground is going to be a massive win for Weideman.

    I reckon we should trade Christian Petracca for a third rounder now we know Clarry is staying for another year?

    ive never understood the idea that he doesn't go hard. when i watch him play he jumps aggressively at the ball in the air.

    2 big key forwards who don't get a lot of the ball and don't offer any defensive pressure. It's just not going to happen.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
