I know this point has been made ad nauseum, but just look at the unit this kid is. =6th heaviest guy on our list as an 18 year old (although I'm not sure how up to date these measurements are) who'll be playing through our midfield. If there was ever a ready made prospect its this kid. Couple that with his aerobic ability and you've got an unstoppable force, even at AFL level.

I know Mitch Lewis was sitting at 105kg last pre-season. I dare say he's sitting around the high 90's at the moment.

Pretty impressive Sam Mitchell was talking about starting Weddle as a Mid since every player there started as a KP/Ruck.

I've personally got him locked in for the flex spot on the AA bench, with a smokey for top 5 in the Brownlow.

I don't think we should put a ceiling on what our new players could achieve
 
The HUN really are struggling for content.
Absolutely.

And given our resounding success at achieving Rookie of the year winners I'm just looking forward to him putting in a great season that is completely and utterly ignored by the powers that be at AFL House.
 
Interesting we were trying to get that extra first pick from as early as Melbourne's pick(pick 14), wonder if Weddle was still our main target. Assume it was given Mitchell thought the best possible outcome was landing both Mackenzie and Weddle.
You betcha, We were worried about Melbourne picking him

Another few centimetres and a few bulking up kilos he could be playing-at 195 and 95 kilos ! Monster mid .
