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

[Gasometer]

Round 5!?!?!??!

Thank god you’re not the club doctor….jesus!

If there’s no ligament damage and just bruising….he should play.

Round 1 may not be us pressing for finals in the years you alluded to. But we are playing for respect and praise from sectors that kick us when we’re down.

Rd 1-10 are whatever

If we’re not performing in the back half of the season we may as well back up the shop

Game-high 12 tackles v Saints. The absolute mongrel in this bloke.

didn’t appreciate Georgie’s physicality. He’s only 19 mate. Get *ing used to it!

prolly 5 of them in 3 minutes, that period was closest thing i have seen to cunners when he was in in beast mode.

 

[Chadwiko]

I spoke to him at the fan day. Asked if he was playing.

Was VERY non-committal. And is walking with a noticeable limp.

I'll be surprised if he plays.

Well, clearly I was wrong! Put my hand up and cop that.

Impressive that he played today considering his limp yesterday! Modern medicine, hey?

 

[muttley45]

Didn't seem to receive any frees for textbook perfect tackles, only head high stuff, disappointing.

 

[Dan]

Didn't get a lot today but made up for it with his usual manic pressure & tackling.

Ready to go for Round 1.

 

[Flawed Genius]

He is an axe murderer.

He had both ankles tapped up pre-game. I didn’t even think he was playing

Ready to go for Round 1.

at one stage his pressure was Mariana Trench like, if it gets any higher he will be shitting diamonds,

 

[The Dingrel]

Well I backed him a couple of weeks ago to make the most tackles for the season at 40-1, went back to have a bit more after today and he's in to 25-1.

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

Will be our best player.

Freak.

Didn’t get a chance to watch today. Did his tackles result in turnovers for us?

some did , one passage in partucular he laid 2 in 10 seconds ,

 

[Frank Thring]

Couldn't break away today from congestion, kept getting caught or running into players. Didn't look 100%

 

[shintemaster]

Which makes sense given his ankle. Kid is a bit of a wrecking ball.

You are one of us. Search your feelings.

 

[My Left Foote]

He is an axe murderer.

 

[Nylex]

Thought we should have been over cautious with George yday…., so it is a huge positive he got through the game unscathed. He is hugely advanced this time this year, compared to last season. Can’t wait to see George in action during the real stuff

 

[SheezNuts]

Has there ever been a more fitting nickname for a player than Warlord? God I love him.

Also while I’m here, * JHF.

 

[koshari]

BUMP,

simply need this blokes thread at the top...

 

[koshari]

loved his game, cant wait till he gets a little bit of conditioning in, 4 or 5 times he was half a foot late from having his prey on ice. just keeps cracking in, loving what he brings.

Actually thought he cracked in a bit less than he was last year. Not sure if his motivation is dwindling after not yet having played in a win, but yeah. Once he realises he has an extra half second than what he thinks, he'll be an obvious two way weapon

 

[Only Forwards]

really interested in how many CBAs he had.
