Some doubts about his application and he began the season well (rounds 1-7) but faded a bit (hence non state selection). Was he only good because of his height?
He had two 6 goal hauls and a 7 by round 8 in 2009. I think he was well and truly our key target by then.
You are right, he had a lot better 2009 than my blurred memory recalls. I only remember that dominant game against Richmond and v reigning premiers Hawthorn at the MCG in that dead dolphin guernsey early on in the season clearly. The other games I needed AFL Tables to jog the memory.
I'm no stranger to blurred memory
. I will always remember that Richmond game though. 7 goals and a saving defensive mark in the dying seconds. Deserved 4 Brownlow votes.
One of the most dominant performances you will ever see. I remember I gave up on us half way through the 3rd, Richmond came out and smashed us that qtr and I thought they'd run away with it. But Wazza put the whole team on his shoulders and won the game off his own boot. That was a true champion player performanceI'm no stranger to blurred memory
God I miss this. Not just Warren's performances, but a player who cared enough about team success that he refused to let us lose and would, effectively, force all his teammates to step up. Butters prior to his injuries was looking this sort of player, JHF does as well. Certainly none of our senior players (including Wines) have that drive. The sooner Scully and other recent draftees can ditch the 'live the life' senior players to the curb the better.One of the most dominant performances you will ever see.

Looks to have the build /body shape that will develop
It wasn't his goal kicking that impressed me the most, his effort a couple of times to spoil in the last quarter when he was out numbered showed genuine effort and intent. You could see the lad was cooked and could barely raise a gallop but he just willed himself to get to the contest. A couple of pre-seasons and his strength and fitness will improve dramatically.
