Interesting.

Seems like many of our fringe players (Tomlinson, Bedford, Hunt, Weed, etc.) are looking around.

Maybe signals a more ruthless approach to list management?

Not necessarily.  A ruthless approach to list management would be to trade out a couple from our starting 22.

Don't blame them if there is little chance of getting into the starting 22.  If they can get more chances and better deals elsewhere good on them.

The trick is to use their desires to our advantage with draft picks and or players.

The fact we changed our forward set up to not play him late in the year you don't blame him.

He is now 4th choice kpf at melb.

I'm not sure where the list management is going if they trade Weid. I've never been a fan of him, but he definitely showed enough improvement as a ruckman at Casey to be required as ruck depth.

Without Jackson and Weid, we'd need to bring in 3 ruckmen onto our list. Grundy is obviously one, plus a mature ager at Casey, and the other a rookie. 

I perish the thought that we'd use JVR as a 2nd ruck should Max or Grundy get injured. T Mac and BBB are physically unable to play the 2nd ruck role.

didn't have any interest last year, i wonder if there'll be any further interest in him this year?

i can't see it

[layzie 34,041]

I think it's healthy that we are testing the market with players. I'm sure we'd be criticised if we were sitting on our hands.

Sounds like the marriage contract.

Is there a club out there looking for a forward/second ruck?

MFC! 🙄

[layzie 34,041]

Well that was a world wide waste of time 

[rpfc 28,816]

We won’t be able to move him.

All good. He is fine back up for Grundy/Gawn.

[DubDee 26,162]

Lloyd all over it like usual

[layzie 34,041]

Just train him as a ruckman all pre season that's all I ask.

1958, Murray Weidemann smacks Ron in the mouth. 2022, demonlanders form pack around grandson, Sam.

Lloyd said Weid will look for a new home.

MFC said it doesn't plan on trading him.

Those things don't cancel each other out.

From the same article...

If Weideman was to request a trade next month, it is unlikely Melbourne would receive much in return in the form of a late draft pick based on his form this season.

What a waste of paper.My dog could have made up a more sensible paragraph than this rubbish.

[bluey 1,118]

The Weed will be ok, a contracted late developer with plenty of upside.

From what I have been told Sam loves the club  and wants to stay at the club. I will be surprised if he asks for a trade.
