He would certainly offer more than Sharman, no doubt about that.
Way more than Sharman for 2023 and 2024, anyway. Sharman feels a long way off, despite some promising signs at either end.

Can't see Sharman being a regular contributor until he's 24 or 25 (currently 22) due to his underdeveloped body. Lovely kick, great hands but lots and lots of growth in mind and body.

Weideman has kicked multiple goals on 19 occasions - I think he's going to improve again as he solidifies into his body. I'd say his best four years are ahead of him and he could be a 40+ goal per year forward if he finds a club that believes in him. If he can take some heat off Max and Membrey, I'd be all up for it.

I'd trade our third rounder (45) for him; we might even be able to get him cheaper than that (eg: pick swaps).
Sharman kicked 4 goals in his 4th AFL game without ever having done an AFL pre season. Weideman kicked 4 for the first time in his 7th AFL season in his 49th game.

Couldn't get a game when Tom McDonald got a long term injury. I think that says a lot. It seems we're repeating the James Frawley scenario with Cordy and now Weideman.

Frawley was 32 when we drafted him, and he’d retired.

I know. My point is that we're recruiting back up players.

Our list beyond 10 to 12 is very average so it's a question of what number does he come in at....probably would sit at 16th to 22 best player on our list where as he is probably 21 to 26 on the Deea list.

Sharman is in the 30s on our list so Sam would improve our list on that basis, however does it improve our list to allow us to become a top 4 side....NO. But Sam would be an improvement and as I keep saying about our current plight...."beggers can't be choosers".
But Sharmans a defender…

Who?
