Saint Corin said:winderlich will be a very good player I think, very lean but if he slapped on the odd kg (not too many) could be very very good.. I'd be happy with Dempsey gettin more of the ball consistantly before i would offer fenesse about his use, but seems a likely type, but im on the winderlich bandwagon, even if i do go for saints...
yeah u can have him then, you need him along with fiona

Winderlich will be a gun. Just needs an injury free run next year...blumfieldisback said:

You'll eat those words soon enough. When he's right, he works incredibly hard and even with his slight frame, does his utmost to cut through opposition lines...not to mention can kick a decent distance also.

We Shall see who eats who's words for i think winderlich doesnt know how to get the ball, doesnt know what spots to run into and uses his speed to cover these flaws. If he wasnt quick and we didnt need more midfielders with quick feet he imo wouldnt be on our list. I just dont rate him, dont know why??? yet after seeing dyson and stanton in their first games i said they would be good, my richmond mate thought otherwise but he is eating his words now about them.
I'm sure if he didn't have feet he wouldn't be on our list either, so talking about him missing his major asset and how he wouldn't be on the list without it is kind of irrelevant - since he does have it.blumfieldisback said:

Pretty hard to run into those correct spots when hes out for whatever reason...I like his workrate and the fact he never drops his head. Will take many on, regardless of their status in the comp and backs himself in for that long kick into our forward 50....just like Stanton. I would also imagine being on our list for a few years that he'd set a good example for players like Dyson to kick long and back themselves in.

on that logic if a guys the best handball or kicker you would have him in the side, regardless of him being able to get the actual ball??? thats pretty silly logic to me.
The only reason he got some of the ball this year is because the game has evolved to rebound footy where players run around like headless chooks, they dont have any footy brains, when and is someone pays him atention he wont have a clue what to do. Scott West is the opposite, not fast but knows wheres to run and get the ball to cause maximum damage

He was getting the ball, using well and using his pace before he got injured, hence the 2 year deal, will be quite handy in the future

Poor comparison...Scotty West gets most of his possessions in and under packs....feeds them out to this running teammates...sure, he's not speedy, but with his disposals...he's the best in the business in terms of speed.
Be that as it may with the game evolving...you just contradicted yourself in that the game is tailored to his running ability. He actually does have a football brain and when he finally has an injury free season...he'll be every it as useful as Watson is to us...make no mistake about that.
Theres an article you might want to read in the Bomber magazine on Winders and Quinn makes some interesting points about this kid's potential.
dodgyJim said:I thought he ran from about the defensive 25 mark.
Then again everytime I talk about it he is further back each time
In a few weeks he will be taking the kick in and playing on
There was video footage of it floating around somewhere
The footage of it is still on bombertv. Go to Channel 2, last page Ess V Syd 4th Quarter, his run and goal occurs at the 3 minute mark. The goal was as how Jules101 described it, recieved the ball at the defenseive 50, ran to the forward 50 where he slotted the goal. It was exciting to watch on the day!
