I was super keen on Weller last year but people seem to think he's getting a lot of attention because he's Mav's brother. That might get people on here's attention but it's his skill level that is getting him all the attention among the industry. His marking, his speed and his quality of kicking is something any team would want. After another preseason he'll be stronger and less easily moved at AFL level at clearances. He will be a gun.



EDIT: Learning German and transitioning back to English make brain hurt.
What was his wafl form like this year?

Yarran for 14 ???
for you guys in the know is this remotely possible?
Or not a chance in hell.
He can seriously play and he has cut us to shreads a few times but he has lost all motivation cos he has fallen out of love with Carltank.
24 is a good age as well.

Not saying I personaly want this to happen but do you think we would look at it with Carl knocking back 19 from Tiggers.
Hes a much better player than Saunders or Wright so it woukd improve our list.

No way I would rather go to the draft. He is not worth a pick in the teens, I would think late 20's.....everyone is really overvaluing him.

Yarran doesn't fit our age profile surely? Not only that but do we want someone who drops his effort and intensity as soon as something doesn't go his way like he has the past few years around and potentially influencing our young kids? God no.

Weller or draft from 14 would be great.

So, if the Carlisle deal goes through as expected, that will leave Hawthorn with picks 15 and 18 and they tend to like to trade their first rounders of late for someone who can improve their side immediately (this new "no trading of more than 2 first rounders over a 4 year period" rule could really suck for a top side like Hawthorn, BTW- if that rule had been in place in recent years they wouldn't have been able to build the side they had this last couple of years). They just lost Hale and now have extremely thin ruck stocks, from what I see, so I wonder if they might have a crack at a certain someone with one of those picks, to partner Macca?
I think the rule is that over a 4 year period a club must have used 2 x 1st round draft selections. So that if the Hawks do take both #15 and #18 to the draft, they could theoretically be able to trade their 1st picks from all the next 3 years running.

Who do you rate higher Weller or Tucker? Are they similar players?
I like Tucker but Weller ahead. He's shown at state league level this year that he's more than capable at the level, and has been good enough to play senior AFL footy in a good team.

Same age as Carlisle.

No from me though

Geez King didn't need to bait you guys, you all jumped on the hook.

He is trolling twitter
Yeah agreed.

Come on guys - after his "Saints won't win a game" debacle he was gracious enough to say he was wrong and paid his membership. (Yes it was an idiotic call). In this case he is taking the mickey big time! (I've met him twice at random places and he is actually a nice guy).

Perfect Felsty...could even throw in 2016 3rd to Freo as a sweetener if required. I honestly believe we'll cut/trade another 5 or 6 at the end of 2016 so the later picks can be traded back in. plus FA Rich, Ziebell or Sidebottom

If the club is serious about having a dip at someone like jaeger in 12 months I really hope we are looking into trying to trade 14 for a first rounder next year.

You don't bring a spoon to a knife fight- and if we were to have 3 first rounders to negotiate with- we'd have a dundee sized blade.
