Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - the Warlord - managed vs Hawthorn

[roomagic1984]

It was replayed 3 or 4 times on the telecast. Zero to worry about.

Let’s just say he makes contact with the jaw - as he was running at the ball and deviated away from contact, would he have got suspended?
What if he kept running straight at ball and just barrelled through?

Thats why the game is stuffed. Only a hairline between nothing to worry about to 3 weeks.

Absolutely agree. There has to be a more commonsense approach to football collisions that cause injuries. Players shouldn't be held accountable for football acts when the deciding factor turns on a couple of cm higher or lower.

Even the club knows it.

The future is going to be exciting…

 

[King Corey]

I don't recall us extending his initial contract yet?

We extended it right after his first game.

Gun draftee signs contract extension

Fresh off his highly anticipated AFL debut, prized draftee George Wardlaw has signed a two-year contract extension to remain a Roo until at least the end of 2026

2026 feels too soon though.

Would prefer something closer to 2036 myself.

Wow thanks, completely forgot that.

And I approve your proposal

Feels right

The future is going to be exciting…

When we have him playing 80-85% of games, he’ll be the most impactful player on the ground and will begin getting Brownlow votes.

Imagine him, LDU and Sheez roving to a good tap ruckman, say a Goldstein (the guy who plays for Essendon).

We would get beaten by 200 points each game. Not only would we get beaten on turnover and on the outside, but as soon as we lose the clearance, the opposition would be out of the their like a flash.

I generally rate your opinions FSS

But,

Are you saying that xerri is the difference between our dogshit current state midfield and getting routinely fisted ala annabel Chong?

We are getting fisted, not because of midfield contested game (which has been poor and out of sorts) but because of defensive efforts inside and on the spread. Xerri’s tackles, second, third efforts, smothers all protect the fact that our mids outside Wardlaw don’t really lift a finger to cover the opposition when they win and when they have it.

Xerri makes our midfield a 5-6 goal less effective unit.

 

[shinboner magic]

This guy likes carry on the field - you just scan the field and see if he’s in the vicinity of the ball , then the excitement goes up multiple levels.

He’s a hecken gem

One of these things is not like the others.

 

[kool kangas]

Has anyone got the clash between Wardlaw and Wilson? This was what footy is all about, total commitment to the ball by to young players..Well done to both.

Wow. We had a bloke like that last year... .But we only won 3 games.

 

[tazaa]

Watching George run around in the bounding roo jumper, with the hooped socks was a delight.

Just beautiful viewing.

giantroo can we get a split screen of Wardlaw’s hit on Wilson and Archers on Hayes?

 

[joybell27]

Wardlaw is truly inspirational. His attack on the footy and second and third efforts are just sensational. He is like a one man army on the field.

 

[kool kangas]

Needs to throw LDU and Zurhaar against the lockers and tell em to ******* sign up, campaigners.

l would rather they just get out...They are stopping those that want to play a spot in the side..

 

[roospur]

I genuinely tear up thinking about how good this guy is going to be. Genuine freak show, wait until we start seeing the hops this guy has as well. Will stand on heads! I have my testicles crossed that his hammies stay sound,!
