That photo looks like a dangerous tackle. How many weeks for Gawn?

Wouldn't it had been great if Gawn caught Cody in his arms just for a laugh

With "my heart will go on" wafting eerily in the background.

I think lockdown is getting to me.

There's a sleeper in the NAB AFL Rising Star race


It is the most even battle for the Rising Star in recent years, with Greater Western Sydney's Tom Green, Melbourne pair Luke Jackson and James Jordon and Port Adelaide's Mitch Georgiades all considered the favourites. But Cody Weightman’s important 10-week stretch for the Western Bulldogs should also put him firmly in the mix for votes on the coveted award. Saturday night’s massive hanger over Max Gawn is one of the marks of the season, but aside from that Weightman has added genuine energy and buzz to the Bulldogs' mix and booted 17 goals from 10 games. Lively, tenacious and efficient in front of goal, Weightman should be catching the eye of judges. - Callum Twomey

He was higher than Joe Cocker...and that is saying something.

3AW was the pick of the bunch for mine.

Cody is our Danny Rojas. Pure joy.

CODY WEIGHTMAN

Heeney's mark was great but I think that the fact that it's a tiny dude pretty much clearing the shoulders of a ruckman puts Cody over the top. Heeney is pretty much the same height as Luke Ryan, the height that Cody got to clear Gawn's shoulders is the real big deal.

Just thinking back to when Jack Martin was on the market and we wanted to offer the Weightman pick for him. At the time I was gutted that Martin chose Carlton, but he's really had a pretty average season and seems to have sunk into the Carlton Quagmire. So glad we ended up keeping the pick and adding Cody to the squad. What a gem.

In hindsight I am glad we ended up with Cody too however Martin may be a completely different player with us than he is in that rabble. He made a poor choice football wise, but he's probably not too sad when he checks his bank statement.

He might be given how heavily he was front loaded and the pay cut players took from their 2020 salary

We picked up Bruce and Keath in that trade period and somehow managed to keep the first rounder we used to select Cody.

We were building a shrine to Sam Power even before the Adam Treloar trade was a thing.

Pretty fancy footwork from Sam Power there
