Weideman is good. Draft eligible next year. Key forward and playing some good footy with 5 and 3 goals these past two weeks. Tall (195cm), strong body (88kg), strong marking presence and a real contested marking threat. You'd love him at Collingwood. He's tracking very well.

Would be painful to see him in another guernsey..

He's playing well and not that the 2015 draft is tomorrow but he looks like a high end first round selection at this point and in the Eastern Ranges strong program with their ability to churn out premier key forwards (Patton/Boyd) he's got the opportunity to be one of the first selected if he keeps improving.

Great read. Thanks for the article Paige.
Much more interesting than reading what the media serve up about non football related issues and the constant barrage of attempts at getting various coaches fired.
Cheers.

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
Jake Wild? Son of one of the worst players to wear a Collingwood jumper? Pass.

I was thinking that also, but didn't have the heart to say it. He was really our late 90s team personified. Had Tony Shaw's number 22 guernsey and was as bad a player as Shaw was a coach.

I heard Jake was actually his step son. No bad genes passed on?
Those of us old enough to have seen Jason play won't forget but Ed, dont dismiss young Jake on genes alone.
I wonder if Daic's dad was a good player, Buck's old man didnt set the VFL world alight. They say Bradmans father didnt know one end of a bat from a ball.
In recruiting, the best mindset is probably an open one.

Missing out on Jason Wild's geness would be a blessing, definitely not disadvantageous to young Jake at all.

Who is better Moore or Wiedeman?

Moore is a year older but Wiedeman is coming on in a hurry and if he keeps progressing strongly he may like Moore is this year be spoken about as an early pick next year.
At this stage it's too early to definitely say who will be better but Moore being the year older is the better footballer at this stage.

Hard to tell because Weiderman is 16 at this point. I wonder how many 16 year olds improve at the same trajectory?
I know Toby Greene was one who, in the year before the draft started taking things a bit more seriously and was a much better play than he was the year before.
Whereas we all know what happened to Elijah Edwards,

Given that Elijah Edwards was destined to be the shortest player almost ever in the AFL, I am not surprised at whatever may have happened to him, let alone the fact that no team picked him up.
I want both, the will becoming a dominate force in the AFL just as Cloke is finishing up.
A message from Jake Wild's auntie via Support:
"Hi, just wanted to also let you know Jake Wild's grandfather (Len Clark) played 32 games for Collingwood & his Uncle was Bill Goggin & cousin Terry Bright from Geelong."

It's worth noting that while a lot of players mightn't read bigfooty, their families may do, as evidenced in this case. I don't know what they'd think of some of the comments regarding the young hopefuls.

From memory I remember hating jason wild however when we were at our worst he was actually a decent player and was Delisted when playing his best footy. ...at the end of day played more games of afl than any of us experts combined. ...

Collingwood do not have any rights over Sam or Jake, hence they would enter the draft like all others.
The chances of ending up at Collingwood are slim.

Foster good relationships and they may decide to come to the club at a later time it isn't always about the here and now
It's the reason why we did our due diligence on Nic Nat in 08.

Jake played well for Montmorency on the weekend but the fact he is playing local footy means he is a very slim chance to get drafted. With Sam I don't know to much about him but if he is a lock to be drafted the system can be manipulated, just like WCE with Darling. I have heard that Sams life long dream has to play for Collingwood like his father and grandfather so if Hine rates him as a certainty to get drafted to the Pies if he is available we could just get him to interview poorly with other clubs

Kyle Martin was playing for Noble Park in 2011 so I can't imagine playing for Montmorency would impede Jake too much. At the end of the day if he's good enough to make it he'll get there
I'm not touching the draft manipulation one. Other than to say it's a serious no no (as much as it would be great to see Sam strut his stuff in a Pies jumper one day on the G). If it doesn't go our way come draft time, like Karnezis, and he's desperate to find his way to the club it'll happen.

It worked with Ball yeah Jake played well but he was not dominant. He most likely will not get drafted this season
