The game is on tv.But as l live in Briiiiiiighton , l will nip down for the 2 nd 1/2.

Sam unfortunately never displayed the hunger or physicality to become a reliable KPF at AFL level. One of JT’s few misses, but it is hurting us quite a bit

What now? Is this where we feel sorry for an ex player who can't cut it or get picked elsewhere? Not attacking the OP as it's a worthwhile question but sometimes we're going to let players go who don't go on and have glittering careers elsewhere.

I know a lot of people on here follow ex players very closely and credit to them but I'd personally rather watch how Matt Jefferson is tracking than tune in to Essendon's VFL game to watch Weid.

Curnow, McKay... What could it have been ? 😭

I have never understood why no one at 2 clubs has ever tried him down back as an intercept defender. He did play some good games for Casey as a ruck I think. The guy has ability, he has size and is mobile but he doesn’t have that aggression and swagger you need to be a KPF. 


Sam has concrete hands.  For someone whose game is meant to be built on contested marks, that is a fatal flaw.  It's not necessarily a lack of effort, but the ball bounces off his hands every time he tries to take a grab.  If he can't mark the ball, he has nothing else to offer.

I think he has the attributes to remain on a list somewhere. But time is running out to find his role. It’s probably a third tall rotating as a relief ruck. But he’s had time. It’s not like Watts, who was always a quarterback played up key forward.

Also played a few good games as a defender at Casey in between his usual forward / occasional ruck roles.

Still makes me sad to think about how “almost” he was / is. starred in our first final in over a decade vs Geelong in 2018. kicked 3 and tackled everything. 

As great as JT is the Weid call over mckay and curnow still burns.

IWatched the 1st half on tv and attended the game in the 2nd half.Sandy dominated most of the game.Weid injured in 1st 1/4 and had to get stitches.Came back on with head bandage.Ball hardly got into the Bombers forward line so little opportunity to eat a kick.

We played too safe.  Curnow said he was going to play with his brother so see you later in 2 years and McKay was troubled???

It's meaningless regretting the past. Every recruiter and drafter in the country would have picked Watts at one. We didn't get it wrong. Most clubs missed on Phil Davis, Steel Sidebottom and Jordon Roughhead too.


Sam is a two grabber and hence won' t make it at AFL level in a KP

If he can't mark he offers little else

Maybe he could be tried as a ruck? at 197cm he offers height..

These exact same things were being said 4 years ago. Some people just aren't cut out for it.

People who complain about JVR need to realise that he kicked nearly 30 goals in his debut season.

Weideman has been in the system for 8 years and is yet to kick 20 goals in a single season.

 

Was it a final years ago against Geelong where he just cut loose? Was a real eye opener, had me thinking maybe there is some hunger there after all.

Never happened again.

Who is Sam Weideman???

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
