Maverick Weller

As Tingles said and probably knows him best id still take him ahead of Bail and Nicholson but i was very surprised he was delisted. Id happily sign him as a delisted free agent or a rookie for sure.

kids with attitude problems may be best thru the rookie program?

I agree with you dd but saying he is better than those two does not rate him all that highly

[Deemotivated 550]

How many of our midfielders had 27 touches in the last game vs GWS? I think we can knock the w@nker out of him.

[spirit of norm smith 16,462]

agree. take a risk. he has talent. too many nice gutless players still on our list !!! the delisting may knock some sense into him

who is this guy?
And i'm not even trying to be funny. I have no idea who he is.

Someone about whom I am certain some posters here, or elsewhere, would have written when first drafted "he will be an absolute gun!"**, and a guy with an interesting name.

**a familiar phrase on this board, used often for the likes of Cale, Maric, Dunn, McKenzie, Blease, Tynan, Taggert etc etc

Is google broken?

Yeah man! Didn't you hear? It went down with the US Government.

Man your bunkers!

[old dee 23,792]

Still think we should take him.

That name is enough for me.

[Crackers 67]

Could be worth a roll of the dice. Price will be low as not much interest in him at the moment. GC have some very talented midfielders at the moment, so hard to crack in there. Been in the system for a few years so ready to go. Seems a little jaded, so may work to help with extra motivation to prove people wrong, or he might just be a tool.

[spirit of norm smith 16,462]

Roos work ethic would drive this kid. He has real talent. Forget all the BS.

[Swampfox 190]

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.

Same thought

Roos has a No DH policy after all

[Crackers 67]

Roos has a no DH policy but seems to get DH in and convert them e.g. Reece Shaw, Barry Hall (for a limited time)

Take a risk ... Weller is very talented, fits our needs and comes "free" as a delisted free agent. MFC neefs to get active.

"Delisted Gold Coast defender Maverick Weller appears likely to find a new home, with two Melbourne clubs showing strong interest in the 21-year-old.

Weller, who can move to any club as a delisted free agent, was one of the inaugural Suns, joining the club as a 17-year-old access selection in 2010."

Hope we're one of them.

He fits our age profile, and need for mids. And Roos is a great mentor for a dh

Great. I hope MFC is the one. Weller excelled against mfc at the g in 2012

[MadAsHell 4,212]

Lets get the clubs Tassie boys Garlo, Howe and Robbo to get in his ear.

Get Weller on board and we can once again become the club of destination for people from the Apple Isle.

Weller & Cross come across as Delisted Free Agents. Trade Michie in for a 3rd round pick and get Bugg in the Pre-Season draft and we've gone some way to fixing our midfield depth problem at very little cost.

Sports a tattoo of his Top Gun namesake...

[Demon_Tingles 211]

Definitely should get him. Young, big bodied and talented individual. Sure he did not perform that well at GC however any player who was slightly off in performance was going to get cut from there with the list they had and culls they had to make. Definitely has the talent and build to succeed in the AFL and Paul Roos I believe is the perfect coach for him. Rookie spot for him and make him work his butt off. Remembering he is still only 21 and already has 3 years of AFL experience.

Agree ... but We will need to offer a listed opportunity as he will have other suitors

[Demon_Tingles 211]

True well then offer him a 3 year deal with performance/behaviour based clauses and watch him grow under Roos. He is not as bad as people make him out to be through rumours and other BS.

[dazzledavey36 54,947]

I hope we seriously consider the Mav. Would add hardness and a strong body around the stoppages also can play a tagging role. I remember this bloke being highly rated before the draft. Adds more depth to our midfield.
