Maverick Weller
Just read on Trade Whispers that he has nominated us as his preferred choice of destination... Don't see him coming here though as we already have one too many players.
Re: Maverick Weller
TDL is VERY lucky to be holding his position IMO so wouldnt surprise me if he goes.

Saady is unfortunately a given with TDL & Dunell the next cabs off the rank.
I like Weller & reckon he could be a excellent pick up for free.
I'd Rookie Jolly & take Weller as a DFA.
Re: Maverick Weller
I'd take Jolly as a ruck coach and nothing more. I would prefer Weller over him easily.

Re: Maverick Weller
I'd take both, as long as Jolly expects 8-10 games will be it, with most of them subbed off....
Young rucks need protecting from the very best and biggest week in, week out...
I believe the young developing mids also need to learn from a big ruck as well....

Re: Maverick Weller
I agree but we've got 3 we can rotate through already to protect them at different stages. I don't think Big Billy needs too much protecting either Hawthorn were going to take him as their first ruck option let's not forget. He's probably as strong/stronger than Big Boy already.
I'd just rather take another stab at a youngster on our rookie list - not someone that will barely last the season.

Re: Maverick Weller
We need mids more than another ruckmen…
Can't see us delisting 3 contracted players to fit both Weller & Jolly in… plus take 3 kids in the draft?
Rookie both…

I can. We're agressively turning the list over. Is Weller a better proposition than the bottom three players on our list?dragit wrote:Can't see us delisting 3 contracted players to fit both Weller & Jolly in… plus take 3 kids in the draft?

Re: Maverick Weller
I don't understand why we would re-contract half a dozen fringe players late this year, if we then go and delist them… pretty unprofessional.Munga wrote:I can.

yes
Also i reckon he wouldn't have nominated the Saints unless there was a form of encouragement from the club to do so.
Lance or James??

Re: Maverick Weller
Saints having posted this article today on the official website is interesting to say the least. Weller speaks to SEN of the Saints being interested, albeit prior to the completion of the trade period.joffaboy wrote: Also i reckon he wouldn't have nominated the Saints unless there was a form of encouragement from the club to do so.
http://www.saints.com.au/news/2013-10-2 ... -to-saints
"..Weller hopes to find a new home during the Gillette AFL delisted player free agency period, which will run from November 1-13.
"I had a really good chat with St Kilda with (list manager) Ameet Bains. That was quite a few weeks ago now, but I had a really good feeling there.
My gut feeling (is) it'd be great to go there," he told Melbourne radio station SEN on Monday morning...."

If it comes down to a simple question of TDL v Weller
Then we take Weller surely ?
