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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
