AFL Player #35: Matt Guelfi - Out for <insert weeks> with a calf strain - 18/3

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 23, DERO

End of the day we can’t play both he & Baguley. I’d take Guelfi everyday of the week.

If he can build his aerobic base, he’s got the instincts & hardness to be a good tagger.

 

[windyhill]

Best game for the club. Hunt got off the chain a bit but I was so impressed with The Guelf.

 

[Kakkle]

Yes I watched the game but I also have the fun job of keeping the game day thread in check so excuse me if I haven’t watched the replay yet.

I notice that the intercept possession stat and the intercept mark stat are 1 for 1 over the entire playing list of both teams so it could be that champion data have confused or conflated the two.

Lol clanger count. Are we holding everyone up to that standard?

Considering how little of the ball he gets, and how few of those clangers are free kicks, it's a problem. I don't care that he is averaging only 12 disposals a game, but when 5 of those are turn overs, he becomes a liability.

Great depth option but I think Redman comes in for him as soon as he’s 100%. Really liked his endeavour & desperation last night though.

Both Baguley and Guelfi played last night and contributed strongly.

Just gotta pick the best side every week.

Yep aware they both did & yes they both played well, but the gap b/w their best & worst is still too big for mine.

He is not flashy but in the second half he did what he had to do as a defender and as a team player. Had a few issues in the second quarter but recovered well.

Best game for the club. Hunt got off the chain a bit but I was so impressed with The Guelf.

Yep, if he can clean up a couple of those mistakes per game & retain that endeavour, he can lock down a spot.

 

[Zephyr Effekt]

Feels like a role has been specifically created for him due to his footballing traits, but shouldn't be keeping the likes of Ridley & Redman out of the side going forward.

 

[MightyDons4]

Amazing what happens when we don't play an inside mid as a back pocket.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I’ve liked his game so far.

It really is that simple sometimes.

 

[BrunoV]

Stirling performance.

 

[ghostdog]

Guelf the Redeemer! Well played Guelf!

 

[yaco55]

Best game for EFC - His decision-making was so much better today.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Played a great game. Was fantastic in the first quarter!

 

[DERO]

Loses marks because he didn't run 14km's.

 

[blitzer]

His kicking and decision making was so much better today. He still cracked in amazingly hard as always. Definitely looks better up the ground - I think he just gets too nervous when he gets the ball in the back 50. Anyway Redman is way better than him at that role.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Think he’s ready to even take over Baguley’s role. Smart player

 

[BrunoV]

Agree with this. Absolutely ready to play a role I dont understand.

 

[eDPS]

Anyone on our list would be ready to play that role

He was ******* stiff to get the chop !! Beautiful today, beautiful.

 

[DERO]

He is a good looking footballer.

Well no, he wasn't. His first three games were poor. His game today was very good, but let's not rewrite history.

Yeah well, lets agree to disagree, and leave history alone.
