Maverick Weller

I must admit, I was keen to get him until I read above about him being a D-head. I don't want to bother with his type.

I think part of the swans 'no d-heads' policy was clamping down on the behaviour with existing players not simply avoiding d-heads in recruitment.

Kurt Tippett case in point.

That's one person's opinion of him. Who cares; if he's good get him.

I played footy with Mav's father Darren, I know the family through the hotel business they owned in Burnie Tasmania.

Darren is a D-Head and Mav didn't fall far from the tree. Elitist attitude and all about themselves.

Ask anyone associated with Gold Coast, they'll tell you exactly the same.

Sydney fans said the same about Richards, Pyke, Shaw, Mumford & Everitt.

Talented players flourish in well cultured clubs.

Not only are Richards, Shaw and Mumford completely different types of players, they are also a lot better than Weller.

Weller is a nothing player. Doesn't have a position. Doesn't do enough.

We have no culture as of yet. Why in the hell would we pick him up?

Even if the guy went to Sydney, do you think he'd flourish? I certainly don't.

I'm not surprised.

He named his kid "Maverick."

A guy playing for Box Hill Hawks last season was 1 of only 2 players to play every game this year. And he did so in the midfield.

How could you not be interested in Maverick Weller?

This midfield needs every bit of help it can get and to land a player like Mav from the bargain bin, it's hard to believe anyone could be against it.

Not against drafting Mav as a delisted free agent depending on how other trades go.

But would certainly wait until the delisted free agent period before doing it and would certainly make sure Cross was done first.

Has anyone read Maverick Weller's interview with the Tassie Examiner after his axing?

I found the article very interesting in relation to his character. Seems hungry, but he does seem to have a strong opinion of himself based on his comments.

Beggers can't be choosers. If we are bargain bin shopping and Weller is available, we have a look.

Digressing from the thread title - but the Swans today appear to have ditched that policy, if the Buddy rumors are true.

Id be happy to take him right now. I want footballers with some attitude. Id like roos to sign and then help turn a few guys like weller and michie into best 22 players.

Wow the dislike for Mav on here is pretty bad. What did you expect him to say ? My skills were terrible I deserved to be delisted I should never play again ?? FWIW I played against Mav in Tassie and he was class. He is not as bad as he looked at GC. He is exactly the player Roos thrives on developing. Solid build can run and skills are not terrible. Also let's be blunt he is better than Bail, Nicholson and some other in this team. We aren't threats to any team in this competition so obviously we need improvement from different players.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
