Richmond recruit Mav Weller is "a big chance" of making his way into the Tigers' best 22 in 2019, according to Richmond's General Manager of Football, Neil Balme.

Balme spoke to Macquarie Sports Radio on Tuesday afternoon, saying “there’s no doubt” the former St Kilda midfielder could claim a senior berth in the yellow and black.

“He’s big enough, he’s strong enough, he’s quick enough, he runs hard enough, he knows how to play, he’s smart enough, he gets the game," Balme said.

“It’s just a matter of him getting an opportunity…I’d be very surprised if Mav doesn’t get a decent opportunity.”
