Free Agents/Delisted Players worth picking?

Post: # 1402097Post james rose »

Thought I'd raise three players for discussion.

Maverick WELLER- 22 Next year, Halfback/Mid, Another highly rated as a junior. Extracts the ball from stoppages well, disposal an issue which I think is a confidence thing. I'd consider him.

Xavier ELLIS- 26 Next year, Mid, Injury prone and perhaps a little bit too old for us. If he came cheap and passed a medical I'd strongly consider to help our midfield develop.

Joel WILKINSON- 22 Next year, Midfielder/Tagger, Highly rated as a junior but has been used mostly for his endurance alone. Would be depth alone with some possible upside.

Definitely all three are worthy of consideration as cheap players who can add instant depth.

Certainly interested in offering Weller a go as a mature-aged rookie but not sure Ellis would come to us - would probably want to go to a club in the hunt for a flag.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Weller would be the only one I'm really interested in.

Pass please. Take as many early draft picks as possible. No more plodders.

I love the draft and believe in rebuilding through it too.

However the draft this year is a bit like this

1-5 Likely Guns
6-10- Likely A Graders
11-20- Possbile A Graders
21-39- Possible B Graders
40+ who knows

So picks outside of the first 20 are still valuable but no shame in looking at players like Weller in thier place.

Do we still think he is a plodder now that it looks like we're interested?
