I think we've long identified that we could do with more good kicks on the team. And to be honest, this should be a perpetual focus of any list management for any team. Particularly, if you can combine this with the pieces we already have in place - the inside bulls that win contests in outnumbered situations.

Exactly. That's what I believe. Some on here are claiming Weideman is tied to Jackson.

Beat me to it haha. You're a year older than me and therefore like me, a Gen Y. Treating one group of people as a monolith hasn't been that helpful in the recent past and it amounts to nothing more than patronising, needless culture wars.

So we must want the Bedford pick for some other reason, otherwise why wouldn't we just use the Bedford pick, rather than move Weideman out for it? Unless the Weideman deal isn't related to the Jackson deal.

Agreed. I wonder if they'll try and play Fritsch higher across half forward, which allows him to double back and follow the mids, and use his natural goal sense. Salem, Bowey, Hunter, Fritsch and Spargo all good kicks.

This is the bit that hurts if this is what the trade turns out to be.

He looks slightly more explosive than LJ to me.

Sure, but could easily be speculation from the journo. No quotes from our end.

I wonder if he could then form part of the Bedford trade...

How can you be sure the Weideman trade is linked with the Jackson trade?

Yeah, apparently. Or simply what @SFebes posts above.

Someone posted on DL that the guy on BF that posted the original rumour, said that he'd made it up.

We didn't though did we? The Bruce thing was a made up BF rumour.

I'll wait and see what happens, but if it does end up that we lose Jackson and Weideman, I'm a little worried about our ruck stocks. Weideman would seem to be a handy break glass option as a ruck/forward. It depends if we bring in another break glass ruck as back up to Gawn and Grundy. If Grundy and Gawn happened to miss next year, like Jackson and Gawn did this year, and someone like TMac was still injured, who'd be rucking for us?

We definitely need more x factor and goal sense in the forward half. He looks as though he has it in spades.

No, that's quite right You are a big fakey. I've never believed you were real. There's no way you could get all those trades right if you were.

FMD, there are some real nuffies on this thread.

I asked how is he being disrespectful with his behaviour. And I asked it of @CYB as you were clearly happy to sprout innuendo and not provide anything else.

I'm being obtuse? You're the one making insinuations with nothing to back up anything. I'm asking a question...

What's disrespectful? Are we talking about touring Freo?

Posting inferences is almost just as bad...

How do you know this?

So if we don't get Hunter, we'll re-sign Baker.

Yep, I'd take 8 and let them keep 12, and we find another late first rounder or early second.

They clearly didn't because they drafted JVR last year...
