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

Should be easy enough.

Two year deal and bring him on board as a designated defensive half forward. Get him to stick on the oppositions most dangerous rebounding defender and always make them accountable by playing through Mav as much as possible.

Sounds like a pretty good deal for Mav to me!

    Should we go for him?

    I am on the fence about it, surely we have more to gain, than lose though.

    Surely only as a rookie? Hopefully we can use our picks #40 and #57 to fill needs (after taking an elite midfielder at #9) and we still need to keep a space for Cross on our senior List for the next year (or two)!

    Yeah, throw him on the rookie list and give him a few games, if he impresses upgrade him to the senior list, if he goes ordinary delist him.

    That's pretty much the idea of a rookie list.

    Same reason they'd want to come to Melbourne; game time.

    Would be more then happy to take Mav as a delisted free agent.

    And also, mods please merge.

    Any idea why he was delisted in the first place? Attitude? Unprofessional? or just the need for the 3 minimum list changes?

    If it's the later I would be happy to see him picked up in the PSD.

    Apparently he thinks he's pretty good. Only reason why I'd be prepared to take him is that Roos seems to have a way with these types of players.

    I'd say he wouldn't be able to cut into a midfield like that, especially now that Jack Martin is coming through

    He feels the need, the need for match payments.

    They wrote a song about this bloke. It goes like this:

    The delisted free agency period going from Nov 1 -13 is a joke. No time to evaluate sifting through discards and actually find the one you want. Time to let delisted players sign on to a club as training players and train up until Christmas before either a draft or allowing those clubs to add a player to their list.

    Weller was a talented 17 year old. Skills and athleticism haven't looked amazing at GC. Certainly hasn't looked like a half back flanker or back pocket. Probably more of a depth midfield type who may or may not develop in to a player.

    Why not allow him 2 solids months in Nov and Dec at least to train with a club and prove his fitness and talent. If it doesn't work out then he's in top shape for state league or other footy and he's been paid AFL level wage for that training. Plenty of time to start a new studies or work in the new year.

    Weller is.

    He'll go where he wants, as long as they want him.

    Said to have nominated the Saints as his preferred destination.

    He hasn't nominated the Saints, just said he felt good about a meeting with them a few weeks ago. He followed that comment with "I'm happy to go wherever. As long as the club wants me there, I'll give my 100 per cent."

  • Quote

    Thank god he nominated tha Saints, now this nonsense can stop.

    Ya'll realise Weller is just another Bartram?

    Again, raise the bar people. We have enough spuds still running around. We want to improve don't we?

    Cross

    Tyson

    Vince

    Michie

    There's a theme. Roos wants to add talent.

    Mav Weller... Lols...

    A little harsh on Barty there STMJ...one of our best negaters, but his offensive side was a bit naff i agree.

    No problem with raising the bar and I too detect a theme. get the overall team better than average ( or worse case...average ) and give it a kicker with a handful of gems.

    BB. If we want a premiership, we're going to need to be harsh. Bartram's tenacity and no fear approach was admirable but in the AFL, you need to bring more to the table. For too long have I seen mediocre players represent the MFC and it's infected supporters. They've become used to having mediocre players and so they stick up for them whenever a bad word is said. I'm sure Bartram is a lovely guy. But I'm strictly talking football here and I want to leave all emotional pre-dispositions aside for the betterment of our club.

    I want a god damn premiership.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. 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.
