Player Watch #14: Luke 'Gav' Urquhart - selected with Pick 57 in the ND - Welcome to North Melbourne

[Chip Scab1]

What's that?

Agree. They're hard to find when you do a midfield-out rebound and you select with picks 1-5 consistently for 5 years. Just doesn't happen.

He has a good tank though I believe so not surprised we looked at him on the wing given we lack that run.

In the times I saw Urquhart on the wing at the ground, it was because Wardlaw and Phillips were being played in the centre square as part of George's return program.

This idea that the boy's progress has been derailed by coaching stupidity to play him out of position is just bizarre.

Should Wardlaw have played wing?

Playing a small plodder in Matt keast in the middle over him was dumb and has to stop

Agreed.

He played plenty of minutes inside. Showed some promise there against Richmond and Collingwood (20+ games), but also got bullied by seasoned vfl mids from Werribee and hawthorn. He played a few different positions after that to help teach him a few things.

Exactly right Merlin.

The boy Harry Grant across at Purple Billy's goes ok endurance wise.

Decent frame / set of shoulders on him.

Maybe our strength and conditioning team isn’t that bad after all.

Luke Urquhart was spotted at Blackburn FC over the break, just saying.

It's not like we don't/didn't have evidence to claim that their performance was subpar lol.

I've lost track of how many years have elapsed in which we've looked smaller than our opponents on the field
