AFTER 32 games across three seasons with Gold Coast, Maverick Weller can now officially call himself a Saint following Wednesday’s Rookie Draft in which he was taken with pick No.20.

The 21-year-old has a precise right foot and was a standout junior talent before the Suns selected him in 2010 as an access selection.

Due to a mixture of injuries and form, Weller was delisted by Gold Coast at the conclusion of the 2013 season. Although unfortunate, he was invited to train with St Kilda from day one of pre-season and impressed with his running ability and clean skills.

After 15 senior games in 2011 and 13 the following season, Weller could only manage four in what was a frustrating year for the ball-winner.

His last game for the club was probably his best, as Gold Coast defeated GWS with Weller collecting a career-best 27 disposals including 11 marks.

Weller is a supremely fit, tough and competitive in-and-under midfielder with outside qualities as well. He joins Eli Templeton as the second Tasmanian selected by the Saints in the 2013 Rookie Draft.
