If you want to present an honest account of what happened, you'd say Wellingham for pick 18, and the Pies then drafted well.
He was the best set shot on goal in the league in 2016. He had the yips in the first half of this year, but across his career he’s been incredibly good with his set shots.
He wrote an article on AFL players website. He is managing it better but by no where near out of the woods. It's a horrible illness that no one should have to suffer.
No different to anyone else suffering. Not a magical quick fix, but at least he can manage it and play footy. Only missed 1 game and came back kicking 15 goals in 9 games with a bag of 4. If that is a significant issue and means his value is very low, it sets a precedent for all other players who may be struggling mentally right at this time. So what would someone like Schache be worth? While he may not be suffering from depression, he is obviously struggling with the demands of afl footy and being away from home.
It's not different in my mind to someone who has a dodgy knee as an example. Greater risk of reoccurring injury
I want us to recruit Liam Ryan to bolster our Peel lineup for the three peat next year.
Could've said the same thing about Mayne, did you think we were gonna pay enough to justify a 2nd round compo for him?
Wasn't worth much last year anyway, and this year lets not forget he was fit and healthy and wasn't best 22, he's certainly played his last game for us IMO.
