Recommitted Sam Weideman [re-signs until 2021]

[dazzledavey36]

Uncontacted at years end and is a developing tall forward who showed a real glimpse of his potential in last years finals series.

21 year old whos played 21 games for 17 games.

Whats he worth?

 

[Vindicater]

Why would Melbourne want to trade him?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

More to Melbourne than what they'll get back

Why would Melbourne want to trade him?

We don't.

 

[SickQwon]

I could imagine Melbourne investing heavily into Weideman after losing Hogan in last seasons trade period.

 

[Moeydw]

Would be good for the romantics if he came to Collingwood but he won't be going anywhere.

 

[The Nostradamus]

We need KPP badly at either end

 

[Blackas87]

Reckon Melbourne would have a plan in place to keep him after trading Hogan.

 

[markm106]

Can’t see him going anywhere. We have money in the cap and just lost Hogan.

"Lost" - you sold someone else a lemon.

Looked a much better team without him last year too

Cut it up whichever way you like we still lost a quality key forward. Going home was probably the worst thing for his footy career but if he gets things right he’s one of the best key forward around.

 

[Turbocat]

Its only a matter of how much Melb will offer him.. it would make no sense for them to lowball after trading Hogan

 

[dylan93]

I think we'll defo have him at least until the point he becomes an FA. Then he may pick to go to the Pies.

 

[Jeremias]

Will be very surprised if he's playing his footy for anyone other than Melbourne in 2020.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

What the **** kind of thread is this? One of the last players we'd be likely to trade, and can't see any reason he'd want to leave either given he's from Melbourne. Will be a one club player.

Why would he? By that time he’d be an 8 year Melbourne player, he’d have his own personal friends at the club, He’s already a finals player, and creating his own legacy at Melbourne. He’d be well and truly entrenched at Melbourne by then which he probably is right now, he wouldn’t give up on he’s doing at Melbourne because his grandad played at another club 60 years ago.

Players don’t leave clubs to play for their childhood team they supported. They really only leave for go home reasons or better opportunities.

Yep. Can count on one hand the number of clear best-22 players of Victorian origin who’ve moved from one Melbourne club to another in the last 15 years. It never happens.

A thread about an uncontracted player.. never said i wanted him traded did i?

Just interested what the general public think hes worth. My opinion? Hes worth a mid to late 1st rounder.

I expect a contract extension come mid year.

 

[TwentyNine]

Wants $700k a year from Melbourne for next contract according to Age podcast. Played one good game?

If he had a crap year and clubs wanted to speculate, he may leave for cash. But highly doubt he'd leave considering Melbourne just traded Hogan

He'd get it from North Melbourne.

IMO unless he really smashes it this year he'll probably sign a short term deal on medium wage - say $900k over two years - before seeking a bigger one later on. If he really breaks out could shop himself around for a high price. Not seeming likely so far.

He'd get it from North Melbourne.

Use of italics really took this highly original thought to a new level, champ. Well done.

 

[markm106]

I guess negotiations have to start somewhere. But he’s going to want to put a few more goals on the board for that coin.

Whaddya mean, he's kicked twice as many goals this year as our number one KPF
