Toast Beau Waters Returns

[The Falcon Strike]

http://www.wafl.com.au/games/view/8866

Named for the tigers on the weekend. Given he's had an elbow injury you'd think his running would have been maintained.

Pity it's not on ABC this week

Also - Lewis Broome has either been dropped or is injured

 

[Avalor]

And not that it means much, but Gaff named in a back pocket.

 

[sTeeL]

WOT! Not the Gaffster.

One of the coaches maybe Suma said that he's probably even fitter now than he was at the start of the year (and he was apparently super fit back then had a ripping preseason)!!!

will need to show some really solid wafl form and significant improvement with his disposal by foot before he gets a look in, i'd imagine.

our backline has been working quite well without him, and his trademark turnovers.

How we have developed. Great how tough to get a game now. Competition must be great within the club.

Surely not real?

be afraid Geelong, be very afraid.

game is on sunday, west coast play on friday.

im not sure he'll get up for a game 5 days after his return.

we'll see, maybe claremont might only play him for a smaller portion of the game so he can recover in time.

He will come straight back in regardless. This is the guy that is groomed for next captain remember.

It is actually real, that was the picture in the paper after he came back from his last elbow!

Wow, he has been working really hard then! Wouldn't expect anything less from Beau.

Can't wait to see him back in action, will make our side much better imo

 

[beatlesmith]

I'd like to see him on the HFF when he returns.
Like the rest of our forward line he would apply superb pressure, tackling and 1%ers, as well as being good overhead.
Can't really see one of Smith, Hurn or Butler being dropped for him down back, and having his flexibility would be great.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

It's actually pretty exciting imagining Beau up forward. We've seen him play the role really well, even before forward-line pressure was in vogue.

I would hate to be an opposition defender with Kennedy, Darling, Lynch and Waters all throwing themselves around.

i think waters would be a handy forward.

he's got some nice attributes, especially for the modern game:

*he's ferocious and courageous. i think he'd lay a serious amount of tackles/smothers.
*takes a nice grab
*defensive minded, he'll always do his part for the team even if it means he doesn't get many disposals/goals

plus, being up the field sort of detracts from some of his occasional kicking blunders. technically i dont think he's a bad kick, he's just prone to shanking a few. from my memory, he's a decent set shot at goal when given the chance.

it'd be fantastic to see he and darling busting up some bodies in the fwd half.

if we get injuries in the back half, we can always shift him there for stability.

hopefully this is what the coaching staff have in mind for him, our backline is going too well at the moment to be altered.
