Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Cody Weightman
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.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Cody Weightman
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?"I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."Comment

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)!Comment
