Forward Sam Weideman has credited his on-field growth and newfound confidence to Senior Head Coach Brad Scott and his teammates.  

Weideman continued his impressive form with a strong two-goal performance against Richmond in the Bombers’ Dreamtime at the ‘G victory.   

In an interview on RSN radio this morning, Weideman praised the belief and assurance he’s received since day one. 

“He (Scott) gave me so much belief and confidence in my own game I didn’t know I had,” Weideman said.  

“He wanted me to play to my strengths and has given me the confidence to do so.”  

Currently ninth, the Bombers are building in belief and morale as the young side continues to improve under new leadership.   

Weideman also discussed current similarities of the young, adept Bombers side with the likeliness of his old stomping ground, Melbourne. 

 “We’re a very young team and it does remind me a bit of Melbourne through those early stages,” Weideman said.   

“There is a lot of talent here.” 

 Despite the ladder position of West Coast, Weideman still knows the Bombers will have to bring their best with no result ever guaranteed.  

 “We have a job to do, and a result we’re chasing,” he said. 

 “This is a game where we need to keep building, encourage the younger guys and continue to work hard.”
