Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Cody Weightman

[EasternWest]

I know you're only joking but I saw a 2000s members hat sell for $50 online earlier this week.

I'm rich.

I'm rich.

Time to resign and go full gangster. Walk around the office and tell everyone exactly what you think of them and where the bosses can shove a fire hose. It’s all gravy now EW, you luck bastard.

I generally do that anyway. Might explain why my career is going down the tube.

Did anyone see footage this week of Weightman slotting a goal from over the fence?
The kid can seriously bend them.

Yeah-It was stunning. Bend it like Flea.

What do you tell Cody? Fly at everything and take a ping at the crazy goals? Or pull it back it in a bit?

Who do they send to Cody? He has got speed, good overhead mark and leading, leaping over Gawn ability and willingness to pressure anyone near him to stop an easy D50 exit. Plus he’s got the ability to kick straight. Everyone in media land referencing our marking power as Naughton, Schache & English with Hannan getting some love for his Contested marking last week. But that first quarter vs North was a window into his ability to be another threat in the air, plus do all the crazy good things pretty much only he can on our list.

I’ve been meditating, just visualising how Saturday night will play out. Then I got to us winning and looked across at Cody. Can you imagine his excitement levels when the final siren sounds?

5.8 on the Richter scale?

5.8 on the Richter scale?

And plenty of aftershocks too!!

He does not jump at everything. He is already smart enough to know that. That game against the Norf, he was marking on hard, quick leads. If the opportunity presents itself, I expect him to do the same.

Just let him play naturally but more than anything (like the rest of the side, let alone the forwards) they MUST exert pressure. That is what has got him to where he is at.

In a similar vein to the more recent comments, the side's pressure rating has to be off the Richter Scale (and well above a measly 5.8)!

"New" cap for Flea
