Absolute joke we are playing ahead of a Coleman medallist.

Doesn’t say much for BB if you ask me - I’m not convinced he’d do any better - IMO it’s 50/50 if he’ll ever play well again 

Our forward line remains a real weakness 

I have never been a fan of Weid but have been happy to give him some time but I just can’t see anything that suggests he is capable of being a decent senior AFL forward

    Shame we didn’t have Jason Taylor for the 2015 AFL Draft. 

    Probably would have ended up with a better prospect…McKay, Rioli, Himmelberg, Hipwood or Menegola

    Weideman may prove us wrong and all credit to him if he does this with us like TMac or at another club but if we keep playing him at the expense of BBB the we only have ourselves to blame.

    He aint going anywhere. 

    Why would you leave a club you've been at thats finally competing and will for the next 5 years?

    One injury to either Jackson, Brown or Tmac and he's in

    Well that would be a worry.

    Id prefer Mitch Brown over Weideman after his game today.

    After five years you can make a reasonable judgement call about his future.

    His surname is pedigree but he hasnt consistently showed it.

    Why keep someone who hasnt done well for five years?

    So he can do little for another five?

    Isnt that a definition of insanity?

    This guy has the chance to add a half million a year to his next contract by performing. Not made of the right stuff.

    Haven’t we had Taylor since about 2012?

    Stand very much corrected Dazzle/Layzie! 

    Would prefer Hipwood/McKay or Himmelberg over Weid if we could turn back time.

    I don’t believe negotiations will be protracted anymore. Weid will be lucky to be offered base salary assuming he doesn’t get the chop.

    People will try defend him and blame the midfielders disposal, but let’s be honest, who here would continue to kick to someone who drops the ball 100% of the time.

    In fact the mids are doing the right thing by not kicking it to him as if they do he will either be out-marked or his opponent will stroll away from him as a rebound with no pressure

    i think he'll stay, a 2yr deal on no where near the money we previously offered him or he wanted and if after next year he hasn't pushed tmac out of the side which could still happen given tmac wasnt much better today then he might leave. but he wont want to leave on a multi year deal coz his value is at its lowest he won't get paid much at all anywhere

    If you think he is ever pushing TMac out of the side you are dead set kidding yourself.

    Let's hope clubs are circling because he is a spud.

    True. But just to be transparent, I believe this article was from a couple of years ago. But couldn’t be more prudent now! He has zero bargaining chips at the moment. I think the club will delist him

    Where is the Weid that starred against the Cats in the first final in 2018. He has the ability, what has gone wrong.

    Unlike most of you, I refuse to write him off, now.

    How many more games or seasons?

    It's hard to estimate where his value sits at the moment. He clearly has talent and he's shown he can perform at the senior level, but his season to date (alongside the final month of 2020) has left much to be desired. Looking at the stats, he's only managed 4 goals from his last 9 games of senior football.

    He just seems totally devoid of any confidence at the moment. Marks aren't sticking, goals aren't coming and his impact on the side over the last month has been non-existent. It's hard to see him playing against the Bombers in 12 days. Like many, I'm hoping he can turn it around but the clock is ticking. 

    On the plus side, I'm looking forward to Big Benny Brown have an extended run at full forward after the bye.

    Jason Taylor made a curious comment a couple years ago that recruiters on occasions get it wrong, but just wished they had asked a certain specific question or two at the time to maybe weed out a few issues regrading personality and drive etc. The easy call at the time would have been thinking this statement was in regards to Trac, but I sincerely felt he was referring Weid. Has all the tools but never remotely displayed the hunger. Said to a Wobbles mate this week that he would most likely be at their club next year, the only issue being now that Eddie has gone they were less likely to pay overs.

    It’s obvious the FD rate him and I can see what they see but you can’t be so bereft of confidence that you go into your shell for a month. He was backed in by the MC and Goodwin and he couldn’t get there. I remember seeing him bashful and embarrassed after the Bulldogs win and I thought to myself - ‘really? You are upset with your own performance after that win? You can’t get out of your head for 5 mins and enjoy a great team win?’

    He didn’t lose me after that because I think anyone can turn it around but he has a long way to go and it may be best for all parties if we move on. 

    We have a bonafide FF ready to take his spot and he is OOC… Cest la vie…

    Maybe we can trade Weeds and Brisbane’s 2nd rounder for a pick in the 20s

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
