Maybe we enquired and he didn't want to come to the Tigers?

We didnt. West Coast did till they got Hickey then a couple days later Collingwood swooped

He's playing VFL tomorrow. Who goes out when he gets that game under his belt?

You surprised he wasn't rushed back in?

Thought he would play 5 games for us and then get delisted. After round 1 I thought i was wrong and he would play a lot more. Then after round 2 I still thought I was wrong but think I may have over estimated the number of games he will play for us.

I work with a mad St Kilda supporter. That describes Weller to a t. He said he had one decent year at the aints and the rest was pretty poor.

Its easy to say it was a dumb move in hindsight, (although I said it in foresight :cool:, but the odds of Stack, Bakes and Ross all blitzing were long.

Does anyone know how long Weller was signed for?
I am hoping that it was just a one year contract.

1 year. Basic insurance policy. With the way the injuries are happening this year, he may yet be needed.

We wouldn't have enquired. No cash.

We couldn't afford anyone unless on base wage - Roughead certainly isn't on that.

I guarantee you he wouldn’t be on alot more then weller is getting.

I think it was a terrible rookie selection promarily because it was not a role we needed depth for. I don't get the thinking at all.

Jonathan Marsh seemed a better rookie selection based on what he did in the preseason, yet he hasn't been able to crack a game at the Saints behind Battle and Brown. :headscratch
