We need to be bigger than one player . Take the pressure off the kid make a statement by saying we are happy to wait until they are ready to talk . I would also propose a deal that would not be super long term as he doesnt know if he will be back in w.a sometime . Offer a deal that takes him to the free agency window and hopefully he stays after that. Good will and open dialogue and if he goes he goes . If something goes wrong and he wanted to be traded it would be messy as compensation would massive .

played April 2015 -a team half full of Carlton listed players but yeah men against 17 year olds .

he tested last week at full pace with some others that were injured and couldn't compete at the combine. Obviously he went ok . Id suspect we would start at scratch with him assess the injury and have him on a modified program building core strength like they did with hogan.who knows how long it will take but they will be cautious.

On Darcy parish the Lochy witfield comparisons on fox last night had me hoping we would pass.

Playing against men undersized and as Shifter said he will learn to use his body better id say when he has a couple of afl pre-seasons under his belt.SAM Weideman flew for marks, crashed packs, kicked goals and set them up for others. This year's draft pool is not full of 196cm key forwards who can grab the ball, kick it straight and have the smarts to go with it, but Weideman announced himself as one of them on Saturday morning. The 17-year-old, who is the grandson of Collingwood legend Murray Weideman and son of former Magpie Mark, set the tone for the NAB AFL Academy in its gallant nine-point loss to the Northern Blues' VFL team at the MCG. In the first quarter alone, the Eastern Ranges prospect took five marks and kicked two goals. He finished with 11 touches and seven marks as the Academy rebounded from an 82-thumping at the hands of Werribee last week to provide a strong contest. Not sure where Sanderson got 12 contested from as he said last night on air. With more than half of their team Carlton-listed players, the Blues were expected to win. And it was perhaps the maturity and poise of returning Carlton star Andrew Walker (29 disposals) and Dennis Armfield's four goals which proved the difference as the Blues held off the Academy to win 14.15 (99) to 14.6 (90). While Weideman's performance in attack will have him in recruiters' thoughts as a top-10 pick, at the other end of the ground Jacob Weitering's claims for being the best under-18 player in the country continued. NAB AFL ACADEMY 3.2 7.3 9.5 14.6 (90) NORTHERN BLUES 3.2 7.8 9.11 14.15 (99) GOALS: NAB AFL Academy: Schache 3, Ah Chee 2, Hipwood 2, Weideman 2, Keays, Tucker, Cole, Snadden, Curnow Northern Blues: Armfield 4, Buckley 2, Johnson 2, Whiley, Totevski, Viojo-Rainbow, Walsh, Fields, Foster BEST
: NAB AFL Academy: Ah Chee, Weitering, Parish, Weideman, Hopper, Keays, Tucker, Nyuon Northern Blues: Armfield, Walker, Graham, Whiley, Boekhorst, Buckley, Wilson

In the combine footage shown on fox today he looked lean fit and strong . Shot 30 from 30 in the goal kicking and was in the top bracket for the agility test .he is explosive not unlike cripps at the blues . Great get .

He is a teenager growing into a tall frame forget about the stress fracture , Hogan had them in the back , stoked to hear he took 12 contested marks in a half v carltons reserves this year . Could be the best player in the draft .

Toumpas is a bust , even if melksham is suspended for a year he will have more upside , the guy can play and has a couple ahead of him at the bombers . We need some players who can finish and he is one that can hit up lace out. Toumpas has played a good game or 2 this year and I wish him all the best at Port.

The Afl is the inside word prosiding over its tribunial who issue the penalty, in gillins words the players have gone through enough so no suspension required . What a joke .

They have Mark neeld and neil craig

Pass we should forget about essendrug until they have served their sentence .

Fits the age bracket and has experience Gold Coast are after . Could be useful as a trade .

Last round Thursday nite game next year . We wont make the finals who cares

The tiges

Salem

we should be trying to sign Garlo up till stumps. very important player for the dees and highly rated amongst afl commentators such as the big Derm. Was huge for us on sunday.

Pulled a Tony Abbot classic
