Lachie Weller requests a trade to Gold Coast [Packaged with pick 41 for pick 2]

[Alota]

Just read on Live trade tread at AFL

 

[Kepfan]

Shit

 

[Kepfan]

What would we expect in return?

 

[Freo_4eva]

FFS...

 

[Purple Lad]

This sucks.. I thought Lachie was well and truly settled in WA - his misso even moved over to be with him. He was earmarked to be a huge part of our rebuild. If I was Lloyd I'd be in Jack Martin's ear right about now.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Straight swap for J.Martin.. get it done Lloyd

 

[Allikat]

I didn't think he'd actually requested it.just that the age had reported he might get the deal done?

 

[MadDocker]

If we get a decent return for him, all good. I like him but he isn't a world beater or irreplaceable. If it ends up straight swap Wilson for Weller we've probably got the raw end of the deal...

 

[TigersMP4]

just heard this on trade radio...

He's requested a trade to his "home state"
Originally from Tassie
Moved to GC when his brother was drafted there
Parents now live in Melbourne

this ones strange.

Doesn't make a lot of sense. Can only think something must have happened or this is some BS rumour.

 

[ChimpaWompa]

didn't see that coming

Maybe they mixed up Weller with Sutcliffe?

 

[freo1997]

Oh man

 

[Lach72]

It makes sense of you're Gold Coast.
Young player who's lived there before.
GF from the GC
Strong bull of a brother who they could use too.

Matera wants to go home.

 

[Rion]

Hold him to his contract. Hope he improves next year and nets us a highish first rounder in this possible super draft.

 

[simpsonwillo]

Isn’t his girlfriend from Gold Coast ? Maybe something do do with that?

 

[SHill Shall]

C'mon Freo - where's your confirm or deny story?

 

[picko]

Sucks if true, but at least he picked a team with plenty of assets to give in return

 

[Sully90]

Future first or Martin

 

[Tom_Thumb]

Straight swap for J.Martin.. get it done Lloyd

This would be a bad deal, Neale is a proven performer with minimal injuries. The same can't said for Martin, I wonder if it was money that influenced him because your mob are on the rise and GC is a basketcase.

Someone on the D and T board think his parents still live in Melbourne so I think the move is GF motivated.

Weller not Neale you thumb

 

[mike91]

Massive bombshell and extremely disappointing. Go hard for a future first, very hard.

 

[manpurple]

Not happy Jan.

If he was part of the trade for Matera I would be wanting a top up pick for sure.

He might see Wilson taking his spot and the writing on the wall.
