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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
