 No one gets everything right all the time and JT has a great strike rate.

When drafted he was seen as an exciting talent. It just hasn’t happened for him.

Agree with other posters, that he is a lovely guy to meet, but of course we don’t want lovely guys, we want great footballers.

PS: did we ever try him down back?

I don't believe we did.Perhaps Essendon will but I guess they basically got him for junk pics so maybe they will just move on

Get serious, we are talking about  “better” than footy.

 

They gotta give him a different role. He just doesn’t have the confidence to be the big forward. Gotta give him a crack in defence.

Nothing you can do about hateful social media comments. Best thing is to stay away from Insta, twitter and all the rest of them until your career is finished.

Ignoring the socials is indeed a way to escape the disgusting bile and hatred. However, it’s difficult when the vile comments come from your own “fans.” For example (and on a much smaller scale), on DL I have a bitter, nasty poster on ignore yet I am still subjected to his vitriol whenever someone quotes him.

There’s no way to fully avoid the pathetic losers online.

Oh, you’re Mary Poppins compared to the cretin to whom I refer. At least you’re overtly bitter and twisted. 

I feel for the young man. its a brutal industry and the KPF is the toughest positions to play. Its also a tough process for recruitment teams.

However, I do wonder whether there were any concerns regarding his footy IQ and competitive nature. I don't know Sam and can only go by what we see on the field, but it does seem that he is lacking in these areas despite having all the required skills, technique and athleticism, which is what compelled the team to pick him in the first place. 

It is what it is and unfortunately he wont be the first or last player that 'nearly' turned the competition on its head.

CHOOKS! Pet chooks are the solution to the world’s ills. Everyone needs a pet chook or 10. It’s a tough gig having pets so far down the food chain but totally worth it. Today my Melksy and Harmesy will be front and centre on the couch with me watching the replay. Feathered Melksy has already seen human Melksy’s amazing mark and winning goal many times on my phone but like me, she’ll gladly watch it again and again.

Saw some pretty horrible and personal comments last night from Bombers supporters on social media directed at Weideman.

That's really sad 'dazz'...

He might not be a great player but he's certainly a good one to have made AFL level.

I would guess that none of the supporters getting stuck into him have played an AFL game and probably haven't played at any reasonable level.

Haven't met Sam but he seems a good guy from all reports.

As everyone knows. I have always been a  doubter on Sam from very early on. I feel very sorrow for him. I hope he gives it away and finds other things in life. There are lots Sam  

Like doing Special Comments on Demonland, for example. No one knows l thought that.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a star or bog ordinary, nobody, and I mean nobody, deserves to be personally abused. 

It was awful when Melbourne supporters did it, and nothing has changed now that Essendon supporters are doing it.

People need to take a good hard look at themselves. If that was your kid copping this garbage, you’d be disgusted and heartbroken. Sam has always done his best. Football is a damn hard industry and not everyone succeeds. But most people don’t have the talent or the guts to even try. Those that do deserve the basic level of respect from the fat losers in the stands. 

Quite right Jaded and well said.

I actually know his Dad and I can tell you they are a super giving family (still help out the younger teams down at Vermont Eagles) and all round nice people. Sam is a very well mannered and humble young man and any of us would be proud of the person he is if he was our son.

Sam Weideman was a strong contributer to winning finals.

No Essendon player has done that since before this year's draft crop was born.

Isn't it tempting to fry them when their namesakes let you down on occasion?

Oh come on, when the lockdown was on, you weren't really hungry at times.

Alright, I take it back. Sorry.

With respect, try telling that to the families and friends of ppl who couldn’t take it and did the unthinkable. Besides, a thick skin can’t just be magicked up outta nowhere. It’s innate so there’ll always be “thin-skinned” folks.

  • 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.
