Player #22 - Sam Wiedeman
Pictured: Sam's dad enjoys catching up with John Longmire
Sam Weideman is the son of Collingwood player Mark, was a top 10 draft pick in 2015, is a 24 year old 195cm 97kg key position forward and despite all this he just hasn't shown much at all. Especially this year.
Despite being on the receiving end of a midfield consisting of Gawn, Petracca, and Oliver, Sam's return this year was paltry (which incidentally is how Melbourne supporters pronounce 'chickens').
He managed 5 games for 3 goals and looked about as threatening at AFL level as the Ricky Nixon's knock-off Clayton Oliver Halloween costume:
This wasn't a down year. His output in the AFL system has consistently been below average:
... and it hurts a little more knowing Harry McKay was taken one pick later in 2015. It's Scully/Trengove over Dustin Martin all over again.
He's contracted for next year and with Jackson/McDonald/Brown and Fritsch as marking options forward of the ball, I assume he'll once again be a depth player.
Fun fact: Despite his grandfather and father both being Collingwood players, Sam, grew up as a passionate Richmond fan which probably confused the hell out of his family. Being Collingwood supporters, that decision rivals basic maths and the rules of Uno on the confusopoly-scale.
Sam, good luck with pre-season and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021

Also that's Oskar Baker, not Clayton Oliver.
Christopher from Camberwell disagrees.

Player #21 - David Zaharakis
Pictured: David helps Jake Stringer with some dance steps for an upcoming high school formal
David Zaharakis was an Essendon player this year which comes as a surprise to many, as most people assumed he retired years ago.
Zaka (as he's known) famously refused to take part in Essendon's 2012 off-site doping and was allowed to play in the 2016 season, unlike 34 other players. 2016 remains the greatest year of AFL football in history.
Zaka also had a notable career for two other reasons - kicking the winning goal in the 2009 Anzac Day game, and being BOG in the 2013 Anzac Day game. Between refusing dodgy jabs and breaking Collingwood supporter hearts, he just doesn't like needles at all.
Playing as a kind of slow small forward with no X factor, Zaka still managed to play 6 games in 2021. He managed 2 goals from these 6 games, averaged 13 or so disposals, and inspired 56,000 posts on BigFooty and BomberBlitz wondering why he was still playing. This is noteworthy as bombers fans have a reputation for their strong grasp on reality and their completely level headed commentary when discussing anything Essendon
At the end of 2021 Essendon announced they wouldn't offer him a new contract, but Zaka expressed hope he could continue his career elsewhere (or in Essendon language, 'off site'). Zaka potentially getting picked up by a rival AFL side was a position so divorced from reality that even QAnon followers were left thinking "whoa, too far". It was even rumoured that Robbo sent Zaka an SMS telling him "mate you need to drink less".
Fun fact: Zaka is of Greek heritage. According to census data, Melbourne is the seventh largest Greek city in the world (counting only the Greek speaking population). The ancient Greeks invented many things we now take for granted - geometry, democracy, celestial navigation, schools of philosophy, and sex for pleasure (although the Romans later refined the concept to include women too).
Zaka, congratulations on a fine career and welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.
