Ruck depth Gawn

Schache?

 

Ok... I'll stop.

Hi all. I can now report that Sam Weideman has been traded to Essendon. We're still a big shot at Hunter and we've discussed trading for a KPF. Few big hours coming up. ✌️

 

37 is better than I expected. Pretty happy with that result. It’s not like Weid was going to play.

We have got that Petty option, I'm in the camp that he saves more goals than he can create. But it's definitely an option with Tomlinson and Turner in the wings.

I think we need to see where TMac and BBB are at over summer and leading into next year.  We probably need 2 of TMac, BBB and JVR available each game for the next 2 years.  If we get 100 games out of the 3 of them across that period then Petty can stay back.  I should add that we need to recruit another ready to go KPF by the end of that period - I think that's possible - we can clear cap with outgoing players and we have a strong future draft hand.

Yeah, we can always leave a spot open for a mature ruck at the start of the season.

Please tell me your sauce is credible.

Speaking of pick 37. Harrison Petty says hi. 

Talent to be found around these picks for sure. 

Have always liked the Weed and would like to wish him well but it's tough when he's going to the goat rooters.

If it's possible to be successful in a completely unsuccessful club, then I wish him that.

I've been sworn to secrecy, but you know me, I've got a good track record.


Pick 37 for Weid is a great deal!!

Had 7 seasons with us, unfortunately never came on

All the best Sammy.  I hope you stay fit and can put a full AFL season together to see how you go

Turned 33, 43,& 53 into 27 for Grundy.

Turned Weed and 54 & 72 into 37

Basically swapped Weed for Grundy and a slide of 4 picks in the second round, and a loss of a few late picks we where unlikely to use.

Win

13, 37

I am assuming 86 is used to promote Chandler

Good luck Weeds.

37 makes Weid expendable and whilst there’s still some chance he goes on and makes himself a career it was very unlikely at Melbourne.

Part of good list management is knowing when to let a player go for their own sake and to keep the managers happy.

If Weid goes on to have success and is a fair minded person he’ll probably regret not doing it sooner but he’ll also be thankful we gave him the chance to do so in 2023.

This year’s pick 37 for Weideman would be preferred to a future pick given we’ve acquired a few already through other trades. Don’t know if that’s realistic though.

Well done!

Got your wish!

All the best Weid. What we all wanted and what we got didn’t quite match up. 
Missing that late goal up North a few years back was a telling moment sadly

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
