Delisted #10: Sam Weideman - Delisted. Thanks for your efforts, Sam! 18/10

[VelvetSledge]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 36, Milanista28

 

[7zark7]

Worse than any top up from 2016 and that includes Sam Grimley.

 

[schmuttt]

I see you guys have now had the full Weideman experience. At least you didn’t burn a top 10 pick on him

 

[jannissary]

i just can't see him playing on next week until he proves he can have an impact. he's a severe liability

 

[BrunoV]

Stewart was playing as a defender old mate.

I agree 100% that Weed has not been up to it for too long but I don't know who we can bring that is a structural fit given the role he has been playing (KPF).

He wasn't. Most recently he was playing forward.

 

[DERO]

He wasn't. Most recently he was playing forward.

VFL?

 

[brain taylor]

He wasn't. Most recently he was playing forward.

all i remember is him watching the ball go through for an oppo goal while he was standing on the line, it’s all blank after that

Lol. This is pretty much me too.

 

[Vander18]

VFL?

Does it matter?

We know Stewart can play back or forward.

He is also injured so he isn't playing anywhere!

 

[Vander18]

I’m aware. This is not unusual for Stuzza

 

[DERO]

I’m aware. This is not unusual for Stuzza

He'd be handy right now if fit I suspect.

 

[Duckworth]

Sam would probably be experiencing some imposter syndrome

Should be the thread title.

Ya’ll realize it’s a team sport right? The sum of the parts (eg the team and structure) is more important than the individual? I get that he is out of form, but dropping the individual would hurt the team for all the reasons consistently posted by others in this thread. This thread feels like a broken record at times

Weid is staying in the side for 1 reason atm, he can 2nd ruck. If Draper was fit he’d be dropped.
Geelong will be he last chance imo, because if Cox is again solid he could come in against the dogs and Draper might be back. Or Bryan plays well and we go with the Phillips Bryan combo again.

I'm wondering if you still feel this way, and chances are up now? Wright had 10 hitouts, Weiderman had 0.

 

[yodellinhank]

I'd be happy to give you a go at this stage mate.

Always seen DERO in more of a slowish opportunistic small forward type role

Worse than any top up from 2016 and that includes Sam Grimley.

Didn't mind Grimley.

DERO is very much in the Josh Green mold

Joe the goose/ tag me coward

 

[gunit_]

Seems devoid of all confidence - he needs to go back to the reserves as we just aren’t getting anywhere near enough out of him atm

 

[Burzum]

We got him for moreorless nothin. Happy to take the chance but I’d had severe doubts that it would suddenly become a player. Just lacks competitiveness and has terrible hands.

Yes we got him for nothing but he still has a contract until the end of next year and takes up a list spot. Maybe there was no one else out there that we could have got that was worthy of a spot, but I don't really vibe with the idea that it's not a problem just because he was cheap. We wouldn't pick up Can'tplay McGillicutty just because he was cheap.

2 years in nothing, was worth the risk. Doesn’t look like it’ll work, we move on. Not like we gave up anything good.

Why was it worth the risk picking up someone who hadn't shown anything?

 

[Beerfish]

Why was it worth the risk picking up someone who hadn't shown anything?

Because physically he has all the tools. I guess we backed ourselves as a club to get the between the ears stuff happening. But it's not happening.

 

[Kong]

What's Kepler Bradley up to these days?

 

[supportyourteam]

He did get 5 goals in a losing score against Geelong first go. His basic unsolvable problem is his grandfather played for Collingwood.

Sort of

we did burn a top 6 pick on francis, only to trade him for what we paid for Weideman only to watch him play serviceably in defence where he always should have been for the swans......so there's that

 

[citizen-erased]

necessity.
Our list team under the guidance of Dodoro has failed to identify and recruit a forward spine
If not for the gift of Daniher it'd make for dire reading

he was always good for us in defense, dunno why we kept trying him in the forward line
