Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #11 (2023) - Quinton Narkle

[HinkleysHeroes]

At this point I'm totally confused as to why we drafted Narkle, there seems to be no intent to ever select him again.

He will bide his time like Jed did thenm once he is in the dog owning syndicate with Ken and the boys he will never be dropped

He's laid 13 this year, which sits him at 157th in the league for total tackles.

Average per game:
1. Drew - 6.2
2. Butters - 4.4
3. Bergman - 4.0
4. SPP - 4.0
5. McEntee - 3.3

Totally irreplaceable m8

I mean, the vast majority of the top tacklers in the league are midfielders, for very obvious reasons. McEntee has also missed a game and been subbed out of two others which affect his total tackles and average tackles respectively.

Jed's tackling and defensive pressure is solid. It's literally the reason he's in the team. Whether you'd be better off playing a less defensive minded player who offers more on the offense is debatable for sure. But in terms of the specific role he's being asked to play, he's the best at it.

Of course yeah, it all makes sense now.
