Unfortunately the Weed on offer is low quality leaf reminiscent of home grown backyard products of the 80's rather than the high quality, high potency stuff generally available today.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Sam Weideman has always looked the part.

But he is a victim of the MFC trying to get one over the Pies. IIRC, he was expected to go in the early 20s, but the Dees jumped on him with, what pick 6 or something?

And once you've been drafted there, your development will be slow, as the people you work with are unprofessional and rather clueless. There are too many examples of this from that club. When you're just trying to draft a player because a rival wanted him, then you dont have people at the club that are actually doing their job and watching these kids in the U18s. Had he gone to our pick at 25 or whatever, who knows how he would have turned out. But the second he went to Melbourne, he was doomed because they dont know the first thing about the passion to play.
