Is Daniel Wells Overrated?

[don vito of fitzroy]

Wells? Overrated? No. If we are talking about Buckley, I would clearly say yes.

 

[The Zebra]

12 possessions, 1 mark, 0 goals.

29 possessions, 7 marks, 2 goals, 3 tackles

I rated it.

On the back of:

22 possessions, 4 marks, 1 goal, 5 tackles &
23 possessions, 6 marks, 1 goal, 3 tackles

...and a truckload of inside 50s.

I was going to put up a Kade Simpson comparison (it is sort of funny), but I thought I would give it a few more weeks.

Should make a comparison with Van Berlo, who Drummond thinks is a top line young talent.
LMAO, bad reflection on the future for the Crows

Wells is averaging 21.8 possesions per game in 2007.

Van Berlo is averaging 19 per game.

Wells is 22 years of age and was pick 2. VB is 20 and was pick 24.

Either Wells isn't as good as you think or VB is better than you think...

 

[CrazyQ]

Wells is miles in front of VB.

Most young players are, VB isnt damaging, not near as damaging as Wells.

Why do you think no one even thinks about tagging VB but Wells has a tagger nearly every game?

 

[Alphanumeric]

When he turns it on he's fantastic, but he's inconsistant and doesn't do it enough. He's had a poor year this judged by the expectations that the Kangas must've placed on him.

Spot on. Very inconsistent.

Wells has been tagged since his 1st game, and will be for the rest of his career you'd think

Brilliant season so far from Daniel, hope he can keep it up

 

[CrazyQ]

Wrong.

Has gotten better every year.

Averaged 12 in his first, 16 in his second, 17 in his third, 19 in his 4th and now averaging 22.

VB is the very definition of a dime a dozen midfielder, he dosen't have any special quality that seperates him from the rest, Wells does, and the crows would trade VB for Wells in a second

Serious?

6 inside 50's on Saturday night. Just another night at the office for VB.

We actually have other decent midfielders like Edwards, Goodwin, Thompson and Reilly so that's why he isn't tagged. And for your information, VB often tags himself as he did in the the last quarter against O'Keefe.

 

[CrazyQ]

Serious?

Deadset, specially when comparing him to Wells.

I have no doubt you believe this also.

Wells has had a lazy 7 in the last 2 weeks.

He isnt tagged because he is not worthy of it.

Reilly? please, Reilly is useful, no superstar.

And for your information, VB often tags himself as he did in the the last quarter against O'Keefe.

And thats why Wells wins.

Taggers are nothing special.

Mate, don't comment on something you have no clue on. VB is a great young inside midfielder. His disposal is great, is as courageous as they come and in only about 75% game time he is averaging near 20 disposals per game.

Dime a dozen midfielder, yeah right.

Taggers are nothing special? Perhaps, but you honestly think he'll be tagging his entire career? Rubbish and you know it. And anyway, he doesn't do much tagging these days but with Shirley out sometimes he is forced to.

Reilly is a gun. Averaging 23.8 dispoals per game, 2 more than the great Wells. And he's only a year older. You lose.

Van Berlo averages 17.2 so far this year. 4 less than Wells per game

Put this site in your favourites because pro-stats is always wrong.
Double check it with your own Adelaide website if you like.

Wells averaged more possessions when he was 20 (and VB is only a couple of months away from turning 21 whereas Wells only truned 22 a couple of months ago)

He averaged more everything.

The stats don't matter that much anyway- everyone knows that Wells is and always will be the far better player.

Wells is overrated, pretty hard to argue that.

VB is a very promising young player. Also, pretty hard to argue that.

We'll leave it at that.

Man, what a piss weak concession.

Are you the bloke who hasn't had sex yet, or is that someone else?

LOL. And that has something to do with Wells how exactly?

I am guessing this poor bastard knows his pain.
