Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #11 (2023) - Quinton Narkle

[Schulzenfest]

I am pretty impressed with Narkle but I still cannot figure why he was dropped when Rioli was missing. Maybe a Hinkley thing?

Because we had to make room for Jackson Mead, apparently.

 

[Puddy]

Would have preferred to give him a full game in the midfield

Would have preferred to give him a full game in the midfield

He didn't do much at the weekend (with the Magpies).

 

[RossFC]

23 disposals and a goal this week.

 

[Jonts]

Chase down tackle after getting knocked off his feet once was a great highlight

 

[PJ Power]

He’s as good as anyone we’ve got in the SANFL to come in. It’s a shame that the mid who needs to go out is Wines, or Boak. Not show that Narkle replaces Wines though.

Phew

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Has agreed to one year extension

 

[manureid]

Has agreed to one year extension

Will enjoy watching Jed Mcentee playing ahead of him again next season.

 

[Janey]

Has agreed to one year extension

I sincerely hope we give him a few games in the afl, have liked the little we have got to see of him.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Good, should never have given Mcentee that ******* extension.

 

[Powerade 08]

Looked more and more like a list clogger with each game. Should have picked between Narkle or Boak for 1 more year. We'll probably stick with both.

 

[Phar Ted]

Has zero tools in his arsenal, destined to be a sanfl plodder.

 

[Portology]

Has skills, as opposed to "weapons", but the impression that struck me most was that he looked oddly slow at AFL level. Not sure if that's perception or just a result of starting "full time" mid season. Not Wines or late-Boak slow I guess but still. Better than a SANFL plodder, lets see next year how much better, with a full preseason.

my only problem with narkle is he needs to be played in his correct postion in order to play well at AFL level, this is inside the midfield, we always play these SANFL mids out of position, with the likes of mead, of-course he doesnt get a game over butters/rozee, drew,wines and JHF. Therefore i beleive he is a SANFL list clogger, because of his limited midfiled opportunity in the future.

Perhaps the list clogger is Wines. He is the experienced one in there that did not stand up in September.

Narkle could play both inside/out, and can go forward and kick goals. But unless Wines is traded (or Drew), or they gets a long term injury, you’re right we won’t see Narkle.

Wines/Drew (and even Boak) struggle to go forward, which has made our mids quite inflexible. Especially with the Butters, Rozee, JHF take over.

SPP probably fits this category too, but he has been able to forge a HF role, even though it probably isn’t his natural position.

 

[Powerage]

Maybe Hinkley just loves his hair, although I also think he is worth a 1 year contract to prove himself. A full preseason, better idea of his role and better integration into the team will give us a true idea of whether he fits for us or not. I'm sure we didn't blow the bank on him.

Hinkley only like Sam Powell Peppers style. Anything longer, they lose value at the selection table

Nah, he is to tall for Kens foreward line.

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Awesome..

Why the * didn't we play him in the finals ffs

 

[ClintEastwood]

This is great. But why the * don't they play him??
