Farewell Sam Weideman

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.

    Is his name actually Samuel? Or is it just Sam? 

    I think that's the more important issue here.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
