We're lucky that he did actually manage to get over it. Those injuries can be tricky and you just look at some of our other players (Bedendo, Garcia etc.) to know it can quickly ruin a season.
I see no reason why Cody can't be a 45-50 goal a year player for his career. He only needs to generate 3 or so shots a game given his deadly accuracy to have a big impact on the scoreboard.

He plays the forward role so much like Toby Green, with the potential to improve more. Like Toby he is a small who plays more like a quick medium (Toby is only 4cm Taller), who can also impact a stoppage.

Quite liberating in everyday life where high leaping and awkward landings aren't a consideration.
In the short shorts environs of an AFL forward it seems quite ..... avant-garde

Cody maybe a bigger star than we realise sitting 3rd on this list and a fair bit younger than the top 2 when he played his first game. There is bazball and cumball in cricket now we have codyball in footy.
HOW DOES CODY WEIGHTMAN STACK UP THROUGH 50 GAMES?
Weightman's numbers are quite remarkable. The most impressive part? He debuted at 19 years and 184 days, far younger than Stephen Milne (21 years, 44 days) and Luke Breust (20 years, 185 days), meaning he's likely further away from reaching his true ceiling.

Sorry I've got to ask, although I'm not sure I really want to know ... what's cumball?

What Is Cumball Trending On Social Media After Australia's Win Over England?
Meanwhile, as soon as Australia defeated England by 2 wickets, 'Cumball' started trending on Twitter. Cumball is nothing but a word derived from the name of Australia skipper Pat Cummins, similar to England's Bazball, which comes from the name of England coach Brendon McCullum.

A good thing Joe Burns hasn't risen to any great heights
6 goals more than Tory Dickson after 50.
22 goals ahead of Kozzie Pickett, although he hit 50 games a year younger.

Second most goals out of his draft class, only behind Kozzie.
Cody has a slightly higher goals per game career average sitting at 1.7 to Picketts 1.5 aswell. Elite numbers.

I feel like dogs supporters have been sleeping on Cody, he is a serious talent - like best small forward in the league/50 goal + a year quality
Nah mate. He just plays for frees and gets in the way of talls.
Players averaging 2+ goals and 2.5+ tackles in 2023:
Toby Greene
Charlie Cameron
Izak Rankine
Cody Weightman
On a side note, Aaron Naughton and Luke Breust are the only players that would be added to this list if the bar was lowered to 2.0 tackles. per game. Pretty incredible by Naughts.

Gerard Whateley had a great stat on Cody last night.
In 61 AFL games he's kicked 3+ goals 14 times and 0 goals 10 times, so he's much more likely to kick 3 or more than kick 0.

His ability to kick big bags is quite special and obviously not a fluke at this point considering how often he does it - I don’t think his inconsistency is that much worse than other small forwards, it’s a tough position to be consistent as we know. But if he even fixes up those quiet games just a little bit he’s going to kick a lot of bloody goals. What a gem.
The pressure and tackling was great again on Sunday too, this needs to be the baseline for him and the goals will continue to come in a big way on the back of it

Importantly he's not our only option. This week West Coast will worry about him and put some work into him.
So while Cody only gets 1 or 2, expect JUH, Darcy, Naughton or Bont to come up with 3 or more.
Expecting Darcy, Marra, English, naughton and Lobb to kick 15 between them.
