Maverick Weller
Seriously how does this bloke get a game? I want a genuine answer.
He is 26 years old. By some miracle he has played 115 AFL games. He huffs. He puffs. The marketing team love him.
But seriously?
The dubious excuses about an ankle came out last season.
Then we heard he was 'trim and fit' during the off-season.
He might look good - but he cant actually play football. He isnt a forward. 55 goals from 115 games proves that. He isnt a midfielder. Average disposals of 15 proves that. He isnt a defender.
What the hell is he?
I know people will say you cant play all kids and get rid of the experienced players all at once. But what that really means is dont get rid of all your GOOD experienced players all at once. If you are experienced but terrible, surely the rule doesnt count?

Re: Maverick Weller
Clearly needs to go.
I would also get rid of Hickey, Ross and Billings while they have some currency

Genuine question.
It is an actual mystery.

Re: Maverick Weller
Well I agree with you on this one...
I’ve been trying to figure out the Weller mystery for 2 years.
We’re willing to play him injured
He gets countless chances
Shocking set shot
Doesn’t kick goals, doesn’t tackle
It’s the single biggest thing that makes me question Richo’s judgment.
There’s some weird thing that the coaching team see in Weller that is not reflected in statistics or visible to supporters watching him but Richo is dead cert on it

I always chuckle when we hear that he is 'valued highly internally' and the fans 'dont see what the coaches see' but when those same players finally get de-listed no other club EVER picks them up.
I'm willing to bet $10,000 that no other AFL club would be interested in Weller if he left at years end.

Re: Maverick Weller
Go easy on him, he’s single handedly kicked a quarter of our goals so far!! ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Maverick Weller
While we're on the topic of Hickey, he's so far had 27 hitouts to Sinclair's 25. Hickey's only had 9 disposals, but Sinclair is only on 12 himself but admittedly he's kicked 3 goals also to Hickey's 1 behind.Con Gorozidis wrote: ↑Sat 09 Jun 2018 9:40pm

He might not be any good at it. But we all agree he is a Ruck.
What the hell is Weller?
Genuine question.
It is an actual mystery.
Clearances are the really damning stat - in 24 to 32 the Swans way.
So, is that a good or a bad game for Hickey?

Clearly far from the biggest problem we have.

Re: Maverick Weller
Must have been Mav's last game. Sure he kicked a nice goal but it was his only kick to 3/4 time FFS.
If Freezer has a good game tomorrow, he's almost a certainty to play at the Gold Coast next weekend and I will be there cheering him on.
But there will be mo Weller brother reunion I'm afraid.
