Recommitted Josh Weddle [OOC 2026] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

[Shueygod]

Mod note: some posts at the top of this thread were moved from the Harley Reid thread. Most commentary builds off speculation from Jon Ralph that Weddle could be traded to West Coast (unlikely as that is).

Not a more overrated player in the game than Weddle.

He is the Victorian Reuben Ginbey I think. One is rated to the sky and the other isnt. Swap geographical locations and the rankings swap too

Except Weddle doesn't look like he is running in quick sand like Ginbey

What a strange take, you must never have watched Ginbey, he is genuinely fast and outperformed Weddle in the 20m sprint.

This point proves you haven't watched a single game Ginbey has played.

Whats with the shit canning of Weddle here? Couple of oddly nasty swipes at a really nice kid

Again.

Why respond and stoop to the gutter? Do you guys feel big shit canning 20 year old kids?

 

[Big_Birdy]

Have to agree with Mr Meeseeks here.

No need to discuss Weddle in this [mod note: Reid] thread, Jon Ralph was just dribbling rubbish as per.

Ginbey too. Discuss them, sure, but this is just nasty shit.

Stats wise he matches up ok with Harley Reid, playing a different role though.
Also Archie Roberts is underrated. **Players with less than 50 games at the start of the year

I don’t think saying a player is overrated is shitcanning, he’s a good player.

Curious where the Hawks fans that laugh reacted would rate him in the league?

I say this as he is spoken of as a top 75 player in the comp by some commentators.

 

[HeHateMe]

Weds is in the top 5 players at Hawthorn we won't be trading him so for everyones sanity we should just drop the topic lol

 

[Shueygod]

He’s 10x the player ginbey is and most people with a brain will tell you the same thing.

Pretty similar level, Ginbey better defensively, Weddle better at run and carry.

You saying he’d be comfortably eagles best player is perfect evidence to him being overrated.

He’s a very good young player.

Both are very good young players no denying that but Weddle is by far the better footballer at this stage.

Well, at least there’s that!

Looks likely to head to West Coast in the off season is the talk. Reid set to stay but they have plenty of draft picks as potential currency.

Pick 2 and Hawthorn R1 for Carlton R1? Don’t be surprised to see Liam Ryan

Even if this was close to being true you wouldn’t get Josh for pick 2 along let alone everything else you want good troll though

Hi Jon Ralph. Welcome to Big Footy.

There’s no way Hawks fans unironically think Weddle could net them a pick 2

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Of course not, because he isn't going anywhere.

In this draft. Easily.

Never in my life did I expect to see a HH profile picture on Big Footy of all places

He's not worth pick 2.

Hawks fans have never claimed to be unbiased.
