A Sam Weideman determination to Essendon could trigger immoderate large commercialized play activity.

The Bombers person had occurrence successful teasing retired the champion successful different unfulfilled top-10 endowment successful Peter Wright, aft helium won this year’s nine champion and fairest 2 years aft a commercialized from the Gold Coast for a fourth-round pick. The Dons volition anticipation for a akin effect with Weideman, 25.

With a draught prime besides apt to travel successful for Toby Bedford moving to GWS – the Giants’ archetypal connection of prime 44 has been rejected – the Demons volition person scope to find a solution to the Jackson deal.

The Dockers person offered prime 13 and their aboriginal first-round enactment to the Demons. Melbourne privation thing much for the premiership player, who was prime 3 successful the draught 3 years ago, fixed the Dockers’ aboriginal first-round prime is lone forecast to beryllium different enactment successful the teens.

Freo volition beryllium inclined to adhd a aboriginal second-round prime to the 2 first-round picks if they get a enactment backmost from Melbourne, specified arsenic Essendon’s aboriginal 3rd they person for Weideman, oregon the Bedford pick.

Headless, is this linguistic descriptivism?
 
I'm really intrigued to see how this all plays out.

We seem to be offloading a bit of depth but seemingly not getting much back. I reckon our guys have a few tricks up their sleeve yet. After the last few years I certainly trust them to deliver.
It is interesting isn't it?

I think they're jettisoning the depth for cap space and will pick up some recycled players and rookies.

I guess the thinking is the depth didn't really perform when needed and we probably needed to shed some $$$ for the re-signing of our stars, so why not take a punt on some other players whilst saving some bucks?

I'm all for the plan. We could easily find the output of Weideman, Hunt and Bedford in the DFA/state league pool IMO. May even find a hidden gem, who knows.

Fact is that we know what we were getting from Weid and Hunt, and it wasn't much.

He's still better than Ben Brown. I'm embarrassed to wear my guernsey to the footy when we have little ben brown as our key forward running around falling over and getting pushed aside at every contest.
What part of Weideman's less disposals, disposal efficiency, marks, contested marks, marks inside 50, goals, metres gained and score involvements make him a better player than Brown? Just curious.

Don’t know about you guys but this isn’t looking good

We are trading away a pick 3 player (Jackson) and a pick 9 player (Weiderman) for pick 13, pick 13 (Freo F1) and an 8 pick upgrade in the 30s (Freo F2 for Essendon F3).

Out: Pick 3, Pick 9
In: Pick 13, Pick 13, +8 pick upgrade in the 30s

Reckon we should claim a top 10 pick for Weid using AFL lemon insurance?

Wasn't Jimmy toumpas a pick 3 or 4 and we let him go for nothing, draft value means nothing if they've done nothing after years at a club.

Weideman is closer in value to pick 900 than pick 9.
 
We traded Jack Watts for a pick in the 30s, 31 IIRC which netted us Bayley Fritsch

James Hird was a pick in the 80s and he turned out great as a player.

There have been players at the bottom of the barrel of the draft that have turned out fine and there have been players in the first round that have been busts.
 
If we took him at pick 9, imagine our chances at pick 13

Also, the last time we had a pick remotely close to 13, we picked Kozzy Pickett (12) lol. Only pick in the teens in recent history was JVR (19).

If we turned those two Freo picks into the quality of Pickett and JVR, we've made out like absolute bandits.

B-b-but, Fritsch is skinny and selfish! Watts is going to make us look silly.
