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: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
