Yeah true, you would hope they would have that chat with them before going through with it.

Definitely makes it interesting. You would think there wouldn't be outside interest for him now which helps with keeping his value down. Not sure what we can do as far as salary for next year and future years now but may give us a bit of room to bring a player in.

Thought for sure he was OOC this year. I wonder if he hit a trigger for a sixth year or something?
Can only think that he may have restructured his deal when our cap was tight and added another year to smooth things out.
What does a half decent 28 yo running HB go for these days coming off a major knee recon ?
27 next year.

Why would we risk it? as good as it could be
When he's doing rehab.
Will be 28 with the new contract when he's playing again
Weller should play after bye 2023 when he will be 27 years 4 months old. If he can come back from ACL as well as Witts and Budarick, he could be very handy in 2nd half and expected finals in 2023 and the club, I believe, would be more than happy to re-sign him. His elite kicking, decision making, drive will be missed, IMO. He played to his potential recently, probably top 5 in the last couple of games. How much new contract? No idea. I am sure Cameron can handle it.

The club’s offer to Ben King remained the same post-ACL as it was pre-ACL. If Lachie has been given an offer already it should remain the same also.
Devastating news for him and hopefully he comes back as good as ever. I hope this doesn’t have the effect on our team performances like GAJ in 2014. Feels like we’re much better equipped to deal with it now but Lachie is still a huge loss.

Got to factor in the impact on the players and the rest of the club if the list management screws over Weller.
Got to be a fair deal in there somewhere if he is OOC next year.
Also got to trust in his ACL recovery, seeing how Wittsy and Budders have come back. Wittsy straight back to his best, and Budders only took several weeks to hit some form and is now producing his best.
Hopefully the club were offering a fair contract for what he is. Is AFL quality but a role players not a difference maker. Probably worth $350k-$400k on a 2 year extension.
Just watching the channel 9 footy show and they just brought up the Lachie Weller trade and missing out on Andrew Brayshaw. The gift that keeps on giving.
Did they leave out that we also got Charlie Ballard in that trade?
We could have had both. It wasn't a choice of one or the other when you get him at pick 40.
No longer bothered by that trade.
We might not have drafted Brayshaw. Given our track record at the time, we probably would not have.
Wasn't it LDU, Dow, Cerra and Brayshaw all around the same mark?
It helped Freo that he had a brother and other family living in Perth, so that made it a bit easier for them.
What if Freo draft Cerra at 2 and he leaves the club, but they still draft Brayshaw at 5?
They end up the same exact position that they are in now, and we are in the same position as well.
The only difference is that the trade 'looks' better for us, no different on field.
Hey, we might still have Clayton doing the drafting!

Big picture was that it got Clayton out of the club so I guess we were the real winners as well.
He also traded 3 picks and a future 2nd for the Eagles future 1st (The club he left us for). Doesn't matter now he's North's problem.

I also find it funny that Cornes is so harry hindsight when it comes to list management and recruiting decisions and holding people accountable for their list decisions.
Get in a real chair and do a job with real accountability, see how you go.

I do like the culture shift that trade signified. Things have just felt better since then.
His job is to talk absolute s*it about the lowest hanging fruit and move on to the next dead horse to whip.
The fact everyone knows his opinion is irrelevant, yet brings it up as if he is a respected journo is why the AFL media landscape is the way it is.

Suns where balls deep into LDU, very unlikely we would of drafted Brayshaw had we kept the pick
