Maverick Weller

Featured Replies

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.

 

Terrible player and terrible idea to draft him.

Worse than the Greenwood talk.

Please can we raise the bar a bit?

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.

He's nothing special, but Roos got a lot out of bog ordinary players like Amon Buchanan and Luke Ablett.

If he's willing to run, work hard and tackle, I reckon we may have a spot for him.


Is it bedtime yet?

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.

http://www.examiner.com.au/story/1751972/delisting-no-surprise-to-weller/

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

The article is just another reason to say no. He clearly thinks the only thing between him and greatness is McKenna's inability to appreciate him enough.


I reckon he's just the sought of kid junior could take under his wing. I'd consider it.

Is his name actually Maverick?

Yes but he will bring goose with him.

That article says to me he just thought it was all going to come him when he didnt expext to be delisted in 3 years.

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.

With that name we should take him.

Well that is as good a reason as BP had for most of his picks!

the Swans seem to be discarding their Roos downlined nest.

Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
