The same people lamenting Weid leaving lamented Oscar McDonald leaving.

Might have missed them, but not seen one comment 'lamenting' the loss of Weideman.

Reckon this is just you taking another pot shot. Classy.

Another thoughtful & appreciative farewell message.

Nearly shed a tear when I read this, it's like one of your sons leaving home.

Sam Weideman another young man with plenty of class who acknowledged our club in glowing terms, helps explain why he was loved so much by his teammates, he sounds as disappointed that he didn’t quite make it as we are. Good luck Sam.!!

All the best Sam sorry it didn't quite work out like we all wanted. Good luck you deserve it and thanks for your efforts.


I was a big Jackson fan, but he departed disgracefully and disrespectfully on many levels, so I feel accordingly towards him now. 

I never liked Weidemans footy besides seeing a little potential (should have tested him in defense though) but the classy way he just departed, like a real man with fine character, leaves nothing but complete respect and best wishes for Sam.

He's been poised to deliver for 7 years now...

I love the guy, I watched him kick a bag and mark everything at Box Hill in his first year - his team mates were being slaughtered at Geelong at the same time - Roo's last year  - but the bottom line is every season after that was 6 years of 'promise'...

Good luck to Sam. always thought he had talent, i think the bombers 2022 game plan would suit him.

They had a game plan?


Wishing him well but boy he needs to get a bit of mongrel in him if he wants to be a decent AFL player.

Loved the guy as well.

Similar mold to John Tilbrook, fantastic club man and great VFL 2nds player but could not bring that level of play into the Demons VFL side. All the best Sam with Essendon, don't take any supplements there and I am sure you will be a great Club man for them. Will always follow your career.

Being a fantastic clubman and a great 2nds player is where the similarities end.

Tilbrook was as tough as nails, bash and crash. Even tried his hand at gridiron

And though he didn't live up to the hype, he played some decent footy for us in his later years, especially 1973, 21 games, 24 goals 6 Brownlow Votes.

Weideman went to Essendon because he knew he'd get a regular game. Bottom 6 finish this year even worse if Stringer and Wright tank out.

The Weed, did you see that?
What a grab!

Bad grammar’s

It's nauseating to hear the "Weid!!!" cry from the Essendon crowd.

Any comment on JVR's last quarter?

I’m very happy for Weideman. He was never going to make it at Melbourne. A chance of scenery was good for him. Wishing him all the best.

Agreed.  May he play brilliantly in losing sides for the duration of his red and black career 

He's always had it - he needs a long run of games to find/produce it. He never was allowed a full season in the 22 to find his game with us. If van Rooyen was the Weid, he would have been subbed and dropped next week. Scott is backing him in and encouraging him to simply go for it.  I always liked him, but in the end the selectors went with other options. 

But I can't stand that he chose the Bombers. I hate it that I like the Weid but hate his club and jumper.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
