Could have had 4 or 5 if he kicked straight.
Definitely something to work with there.
Agree 100%. Would rather put games into Petty than Weid atm. Weid is nearly trade bait. Should have exploded this season and hasn't fired a shot. Next year is pretty much make or break for Weid.Plugger Petty in 2 games has shown more than Weid has all year
Because the way we've been sending the ball inside 50, what forward wouldn't excel in those circumstances!Agree 100%. Would rather put games into Petty than Weid atm. Weid is nearly trade bait.

So can Petty, Weid and TMac be a starting forwardline?? I think Preuss is a bust as a forward. Too slow and is a horrible mark for his size. Break glass only if Gawn goes down.Think if you temper your expectations of Weideman then he'll be ok. He's a role player.
Can he mark, kick, play a bit of ruck and be counted upon in September? Yes. Will he be a superstar? No.
Yeah you want more from a top 10 pick but he's not suddenly going to come out in 2020 and kick 60 snags. I'd still have him in the 22 for what he brings.

Weideman is the furthest thing from a bash and crash type. That's Tim Smith, weid is an athletic marking forward. He relies on the ball being put in front of him. We have tried to use him in such a stupid way this year we have ruined his confidence completely.Weideman is going to be a bash and crash style, long ball in type forward who brings it to ground.
His body won’t be ready to do it well for another 2 or 3 years.
It’s not time to panic with him, but we do need something in place in the meantime.
What team has gun KPfs running around in the reserves? Because that's where Weid will be if we get anotherI’ve been a fan for a long time and haven’t given up, but we do have fu** all KPF depth. I still say I wouldn’t mind Jenkins provided he came cheap.
Petty has the attributes. Decent mark, really good size, nice kick. I think he and Tmac could compliment each other nicely. Petty the more big leading target and TMac the mobile bigman. Weid is somewhere in the middle of these two, so If Petty continues to be solid in the remaining games, it will be interesting to see the setup going into 2020. Weid signed for 2 years so we are obviously going to persist. 11 goals so far this year is really poor..Why not.
Also ... ahem ... Petty showed a bit forward yes. Two games though. I think we should hold back a bit before carving his name on a permanent tall forward spot

We did decently well against the Eagles without Tmac Melksham and Weid, there is your depth.Don't think Weid is a gun yet and you can't deny we have zero depth (T Smith is no good).

We do , unfortunately it seems we bust our own players out of the pack .Players don't play as pack busters any more

I like Weed and I want him on the team. I don’t think he is a pack buster, or likely to become one. He’s more your leading forward (ish). At the moment he mostly runs in on an angle - so he’s almost like an intercept defender only playing forward. I think if all goes well he could be a Gunston type one day. Not a Tom Lynch type. I also think he might be okay in the backline as an interceptor (not that we need one currently - that’s pure theory based on my random and inexpert impressions of his strengths)I reckon that’s what he’ll become.
A pack buster.
He’s just not physically ready for it yet.

I’m not 100 percent sold on my Gunston theory yet, but I haven’t entirely discarded it yet either. He is much quicker than he appears - I think some of his stats show this (vague recollection) and he has some skills that get missed. He actually has good hands and some surprising ability swooping into the stoppage and passing it off to someone in space. His marking ability though often consists of entering the contest from whichever side and twisting grabs to win the ball. I think it is that that made me think he was like an interceptor.I’m actually a big advocate for playing him defence at Casey for a while - it might really help him.
I just don’t think he’s got the agility to be a Gunston type.
If that happens we should all storm AFL house IMO.Article on the heraldsun website confirming suspicions that GC want the priority pick in order to play the 'mates' card and get both Rowell and Anderson. And because it's us sitting second last and not Collingwood, the AFL will in all likelihood give it to them too.
Now Brodie Kemp, the next best available and perfect for the dees has done his ACL, and Goody won't have the luxury or the want to have another player sit out an entire year.
So we are f’ed over in triplicate essentially. Who's the next best in line? Or better yet, keep it to yourself in case a piano drops on their head
