I am way out of the loop, is Weid out of contract?? I thought he had a year left.

I reckon he is the future, i wouldn't be letting him walk, but we will see what happens.

    Ideal situation is for Weid to want Collingwood, and North to be keen through PSD, so Collingwoods pick won’t do it & they have to deal.

    Welcome B Maynard to replace an ageing Hibberd.

    Outgoing GC GM just stated on SEN that he believes they need a ready made key forward to assist King.  What would people's opinion be to see Weiderman traded for their current pick 19?

    Probably a win win trade if Weid wants to leave.

    Think a more lowkey club like GCS would help Weid.

    Whether he wants to go is another thing!

    19 for weid is a fantastic deal. 

    I really would be stressed about our lack of back up key forwards however.

    I think this is the strange thing with Weid.  He's not in our best 22 so unlikely to attract a pick that good.  At the same time if he goes, we have no backup forward unless one of Smith / Petty / Tomlinson can do it but none are proven. 

    So we trade Weid and draft a kid to develop with whatever picks we have.... but Weid was a top 10 pick (we won't have something that high) and has already built his body and knows the gameplan.  Everyone knows most key forwards take a bit of time.... what if he's about to click?

    I want him to stay for insurance / our future... but if I as advising him I'd prob tell him to look for other options as he only gets a game now if Brown / TMac or Jackson are injured and even then it's not guaranteed (eg Melksham playing when TMac was injured)

    So Weid is more value to another club than ours, that means we can use the value we get in other ways like Cerra ... moneyball at its best ... re a back up forward, yes we will need to think it through but .. we can actually play with just the 2 tall's rather than 3 ... we can also deploy Petty or Tomlinson forward ... we can also trade in a mature forward like Adelaide's Lynch or Carlton's Casboult for a pack of chips (or even text Jon Patton about this availability) ... would we prefer to keep Weid playing the 2's or get Cerra who will help our 1's?

    Lynch would be okay, Caboult is cooked, Patton - you've got your hand on it (or is it his?).

    If we traded Weid we would immediately be looking for a replacement- we have no back up talls for the forward half and ours all have injury history and are old.

    But why would you waste one moment of your life worrying about how to replace a bloke who can rarely get a game and when he does he brings a trampoline chest and headless chook leading patterns?

    We need to trade this bloke while we can still get something in return.

    Because I don't think he is a headless chook, and I think his hands will come good, and he is a beautiful kick. I also think he can tackle hard and exert fwd pressure which is a must. I just don't see anything else on the market with the same (potential granted) upside. If you know of another King or Mckay going early 2nd round let me know, everyone else is pretty meh from my POV.

    It would want to be a good deal for Weid AND he would have to be driving it. He was pretty solid in 2020 and had a stress fracture in his hip which ruined his preseason this year. The guy is clearly a real confidence player, I'd still love to see what Goody and Choco can get out of him next year with a full preseason.

    He's just coming to the years when he is going to be at his most capable of making an impact. He needs to look for a club that will give him a shot at the full forward role for a couple of years. We aren't ready to do that till maybe 2023 so he should look around and we should value him highly. 19 is about right.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
