Height: 183cm
Weight: 73kg
DOB: 28/02/92
Club: South Fremantle (WA)
Kevin Sheehan says: Extremely quick player who takes the game on and is a good user of the ball on preferred left side. Showed his talent with WA in the 2010 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships where he averaged 15 disposals at 72 per cent efficiency.
What type of player are you?
I'm a running style of player with pace and skill to execute.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?
Stephen Hill. He shows a lot of pace, can run with the ball and has a good skill-level.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
I'm skilful, quick, a good decision maker and a leader.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
I'd like to use my opposite foot more.
2011 review:
#46 Warrick "Wozza" Andreoli
A difficult year for Wozza, finishing his season early with a mystery injury and a terrible moustache.

6 VFL seniors games yielded an average of 13.5 possessions and a pretty significant 6 "positive acts" per game (including shepherds and spoils). Averaged 20 possessions in his 9 reserves matches.
He did earn some praise from the VFL reserves coach for his ability to hit targets and match up on different sized players, and also got a mention in the White Maggot:
St Kilda rookie still too afraid to introduce himself to Michael Gardiner (http://thewhitemaggot.com/2011/07/29/st-kilda-rookie-still-too-afraid-to-introduce-himself-to-michael-gardiner/)
After being recruited by the St Kilda Football Club with the no.41 pick in last year’s rookie draft, 2011 should be the best year of St Kilda rookie Warrick Andreoli’s young life.
On the surface, Andreoli would appear to be living out every Australian boy’s dream. But 2011 has been more like a nightmare for the speedy wingman, who has struggled to overcome a lack of core-conditioning and a crippling fear of Michael Gardiner.
“Have you seen the size of that guy?” Andreoli said as he pensively looked over his shoulder to ensure Gardiner was a safe distance away. “He’s f*cking enormous!”
“Ross tells me to just look him in the eye, shake his hand and introduce myself” Andreoli said as he shuddered at the mere thought. “But he just doesn’t get it… his eyes are the scariest part about him!”
Unable to work, Andreoli has been forced to consider his legal options. “I lodged a workcover claim but VCAT ruled Michael Gardiner’s mere existence couldn’t be construed as workplace bullying.”
Wozza played some solid (if not eye-catching) games, and the club has rewarded him with a second year on the rookie list. Hopefully a bit more size and strength will help him become more prominent in 2012.
