    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
