Opinion So who is our next Wayne Carey? The guy that is a dominant force in the competition that leads us to our next Flag?

[Zondor]

So I will ask again. Who currently on our list will be a dominant force in the competition that will lead us to our Next Flag? Afterall isn't it why we cut so deep in 2020? So we can draft some top end talent? :stern look

 

[viccles]

Wardlaw

Wardlaw

Thank you viccles for your prompt response. :stern look

I am that confident that Sheez and Wardlaw will do it.

Wardlaw is the type of player who can change momentum of games and he is the type of player who is built for finals. Long way to go before he reaches his ceiling though.

He’ll be aptly supported by Big X and Sheez but we desperately need more solid role players and defensively minded players around them.

Phillips, the way his reputation is being enhanced weekly while out of the team, I'd say give him another 3 weeks and he'll be Diesel Williams.

Finally someone who sees him as l do....

+1 on George. He's a culture changer, just has to stay on the park.

 

[Zondor]

George getting some love. There is no questioning his attack on the football. His full tilt approach. But you can question his kicking. If he doesn’t clean up his kicking I’ve got news for all of you. He ain’t gonna be the player we need him to be. And I’ve got more news for you. Players who struggle with their kicking at an Under 18’s level never really clean up their kicking at AFL level. Hopefully Wardlaw is an exception. :stern look

Wayne Carey jnr

Our 2025 1st round draft pick...

 

[Luke72]

Goes to show how rare those players are. We should be trying to convince Kossie Pickett to come to the Roos.

We're better off just sacking Brady and Jen Watt.

That is easier to do and will have far larger ramifications.

 

[BigRedRoo]

Our 2025 1st round draft pick...

Didn't we give that away for a handful of magic beans?

We did. But that trade whilst stupid, the reasons are becoming more apparent by the day.

Wardlaw is the only one with the clear level of intent and ferocity that would be required to do what you are asking.

He’s still a baby in terms of actual AFL experience.

He is going to be the one that the side look to, to step up and go when things are pear shaped.

Probably need two full seasons no hamstring anything and support around him to step up too.

Carey didn’t walk out on his own and just win games of footy.

He had some supreme talent around him.

Could you imagine what would happen if we had a 19 year old hit like what Longmire did in 92? The entire league would be making offers in excess of $1.8m a year is what.

It’s not just who is the next Carey, there won’t be a player like that again. A better question is who will give everything every time to win just games of footy. It’ll start with X, and George and we gonna to have to trust that they drag the others to do the things that hurt to display the required effort every game.

I gotta believe that it’s coming.

No chance, he's either back to Perth or stays at the Dees
