Once an idiot...

At least we can't argue that he hasn't grown up playing Aussie rules now. He'll be a natural!

Agreed!

Surely hes gone from ripping up his membership and burning down/picketing Linen House for poor Mgt to now buying 5 memberships?

Like!

Google Maverick Weller Twitter and click. Done.

I agree with you, but I think you miss my point. I'm not saying he won't be any good because he is a very late pick. I'm saying I find it odd that people can say what a great pick he is based on some amateur saying they rate him highly in their mock draft when objectively, he is rated much lower by...

Unabashedly excited and pumped, like it

Wow you weren't kidding!!

Happy about this. Really wanted to come to us. Has impressed everyone on the track & is in absolutely ripping physical condition.

I reckon he's ready to take this opportunity with both hands.

I rate him higher than TDL and Milera, unless Milera gets his body to the required standard. And with Milne gone, and a question mark over Schneider's fitness, we're short in quality finishers. Shane Savage certainly helps, however. Don't forget about Darren Minchington - who will be better than th...

Feel we're a bit light on for long-term top-quality KPP forwards but have a feeling we'll see some come onto the open market in coming years. There's no way GWS will be able to keep FOUR first-round power forwards on their list, for example. Great time to be a Saints' fan, IMO. Next year is the key...

i disagree on Saad ... i think he is up to standard , this year he was suffering from the second year blues (happens to lots and lots of players) hopefully he does get back into the AFL and can restart what has been put on hold Cool, agree to disagree on that. He couldn't even get a kick at VFL lev...

Interesting that no other club deemed him worthy. Perhaps an indicator that we haven't missed out on as much as some of us thought. I saw a lot of him this year & didn't like what I saw. I said as much on here & copped a bit of a bagging for it - but he never looked like an AFL standard foo...

I reckon if we had a pick between 30 and 40, we'd have been every chance of taking Templeton.

Yep.

Not fussed about Ahmed. Great kid - but he's not up to the standard IMO.

This has been an excellent trade-national draft-rookie draft period for the Saints. We've completely rejuvenated our list. Great signs for the future. Absolutely killed it this year! ...let's just say it was about time. But I felt we plugged enough games into the bottom half of the list last season...

Not sure who Footy Tragic is or why they matter? He was overlooked by every club multiple times before we picked him up in the Rookie Draft. That doesn't necessarily mean he won't be a good player, but it does mean that he's very unlikely to objectively be the 15th best player in the draft pool. Ex...

One draft watcher said he'd "surely be about 75kg by now".

Good sign.

Sounds about right. Looks at least as big as Josh Kelly to me!

Yup.

Footy Tragic had Templeton as 15th best in the National Draft, well ahead of players such as Hartung and Cripps. Looks like another good acquisition. Boom.

There's also no way he is 67KG now.

No Darren Jolly makes it even better!

Now welcome Mav Weller!

We did VERY well!!
