Playing his best 1 game game for every 10 games. Otherwise, he's done nothing this year.

I'm glad he's getting an opportunity but he's not missed one bit.

 

Anzac Day 2023 

contested mark. Goal.  “What a talent”
 

🤮 dropped mark. Outbodied by Sidebottom.  Missed tackle.  “So much wasted potential “.

He was ok for them earlier on before his concussion. 
He will never be a star but he’s been a good contributor and will be better when Wright gets back.

He was woeful against St Kilda. He was back to his timid self that game. Reading the essendon boards after their loss they wanted him dropped.

Can't say I agree with the Wright comment. What difference will he make that McDonald and Brown couldn't over the past couple of years?

 


The Weid in a nutshell: A+ for character, A- for ability, B for consistency. If he can improve on the third category he still has an AFL future. Just sad that it wouldn't be with Melbourne.

Incredibly generous ratings

Well Wright is a bigger body than Tmac and is better at this stage of his career than BB. 
I am not saying Weideman will ever be an A grade footballer but he will be a handy forward for them if he’s finally let the penny drop. 

In the last quarter, he unfortunately dropped three key marks inside forward 50 and missed the best chance for the Bombers from 15metres out.   He didn’t have the intensity and hunger that AFL requires. 

Love Sam. he can’t change what he is. a nice footballer. like Watts. great kick but no mongrel

that said he will play all season for the cheats and might improve

Maybe they can sneak Dank back in to give Sam some angry pills.

It is official folklore of the Eighties (and from ex-players, too) that rugged Essendon full-back Ronnie Andrews would toughen up the downy-cheeked recruits by taking them pig-shooting.  Now we know where we were went wrong.


I will say there were moments where he looked like he played more intent and attacked the footy. Held some marks early on but that miss on the run 20 out did hurt the Dons.

He'll play some good games and help them but we've moved on from him.

hope Michael Hibberd wasn't the target

Well done Sam. Really pleased for you, particularly when it was on such a big occasion, in front of a massive crowd. Hope your progress is all upward from here.

What I saw of the game he looked good. But other times as you have mentioned he's not.   Good luck to him as he's getting paid a bit to play the game we love.

… by you, that is. 

When Wright is back, I expect Weideman will play the second KPF/relief ruckman role. That will push Andrew Phillips out of the side. In effect, a player who plays well in 1 in about 8 games will replace someone who plays well in about 1 in 10. More relevantly for Essendon, though, it will mean Wright won't have to second ruck meaning he can play permanently forward where he is better suited and much more dangerous. In short, notwithstanding his weaknesses, Weideman is a good get for Essendon.

Good grief

He played ONE good [censored] game

What, no praise deserved for a good game? Where’s your bar set at… three good games? Five? 23? When can we start praising him?

Asking for a friend who’s sick to death of hearing Weids being disparaged, ESPECIALLY since he no longer plays for us.

No, by majority of supporters. 

We're all happy he's getting an opportunity but from a playing perspective he absolutely doesn't have a spot in our forward line ahead of JVR or Petty.

Even Ben Brown Brown who's played less gamed then Weideman this has kicked more goals then him still.

He's good bloke but.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
