Not the worst as a back-up but that is all he would be. Has shown that he is a 25 to 40 player on a list. Would rather one of Grigg, Pickett, Bolton etc as they could add as much as a minimum but have a higher ceiling if they click

Article says new rule bought in last week , Supplemental selection period , so sounds like a player doesn’t have to be delisted for over 12 months, sounds just like the old delisted free agent.......I think

What’s the new PRE-draft rule?

No idea but based on the notion of Maverick Weller ending up at RFC - it must be some form of equalisation rule whereby an under-performer who struggled to get senior games at one of the worst teams in the AFL is sent to a top ranking team.
It sucks.

I mentioned Mav Weller as a potential player for our list about 4 weeks ago and got generally pilloried for it!

Remember this is about depth and someone who can come and play a role, we have lost a lot of that depth. Weller has pace and can play but lacks consistency. I reckon he is as good a delisted free agent as it out there.

Doesn’t mean we should do it of course but I am not against it. Ex teammate of Lynch, Prestia and caddy.

Found his 2017 season review as viewed by SEN Inside Football not great reading i have highlighted the last game of that season ironically against us.

Has been de-listed by both Gold Coast and St Kilda so don't know why we would bother?

Trying to convince myself that those more in the know do know better than me.

Still not convinced.

I think I am right in saying he will come onto the list as a Cat A rookie.

Kicked 24 goals and had 10 assists the previous year. Is that form behind him? 27 in Feb.

Adam Kingsley connection?
Our last Weller was Luke..

I don't profess to know much about him as rarely watch Aint games outside of when they play us.
