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

[sacrilecious]

20 odd possies, probably double that number of plays impacted. Building

Just love it . Young man of culture….pump that song…

He is George Northborn Wardlaw.
George Wardlaw. The first of his name, the unkempt, machine of mean, king of the tackles and harasser of the scared men, inspirer of the blue and white sea, breaker of ankles and smother of sherrins.

[Supreme_Chancellor]

He plays the game the way it should be played.

Nah more cunners with speed

And humble to boot. What a ripper kid he is. Well done George.

100% this….the more l watch George the more l agree with a past post on here…he looks a lot like Paul Kelly with his relentless quest for the ball. Exciting times ahead.

Long may the king reign…..l love it…..brings a tear to the eye….may it catch on with kids at footy clubs..doing the Wardlaw….

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

Going to be a gun for a long time with us and a great person to boot.

Lots of 3’s and 6’s on kids backs for the next 10+ years

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Hope they don’t give him the 2nd year player tax when it comes to the voting at the end of the year.

 

[koshari]

Can't kick, can't tackle - his ceiling is C grade.

Pppffftt, solid b minus at least.

 

[RightWingRoo]

George is the first North player to be nominated twice!

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

George is the first North player to be nominated twice!

Technically not correct, we did have Jordan Gysberts on the list

 

[Danni_Benson]

That highlights package, from one game, is insane.

Yep! Had me out of my seat a number of times during the game!

 

[The Dougster]

I love the little shuffle George does on a long run.

I love everything about him and even if I did find something I didn't like, I'd never tell a soul.

 

[Forever North]

Was speaking to a 19 yr old kid yesterday who played junior football against Wardlaw. He told me that George was easily the best player going around for his age group by a long way and would have gone no.1 if not for injury concerns. Going to be a rock star footy player. Has it all.

 

[SunnyBoner]

Nah more cunners with speed

I agree George is Cunners with speed and two way running. Duursma is an athletic version of what Ziebel could have been with those attributes.

 

[Rod Stroker]

my favourite current player. something always happens when he's around the ball, and usually it's a good thing for us.

 

[blackshadow]

Him too

Although he isn’t getting inside mid mins that wardlaw is atm so a bit harder doing it on a wing

Got him!

I seriously like his and sheezes attitudes. They’re seriously level headed young men

I hope he kicks a bag one day and gives the opposing team PTSD whenever they hear it. Preferably against *.
