Recommitted Mitch Wallis [re-signed]

[The Inbetweener]

wasn't he playing that role last year and smashing it?

Is it the improved KFF stocks that has hurt him playing wise?

Naughton missed a fair chunk of last year plus we didn’t have Jamarra or English resting forward, meaning Wallis played that third tall role.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

Bump.

What's his contract status and where/how has he been playing in the 2s this year? Seems certain to look elsewhere I'd guess.

Free agent, no talk of a contract put in front of him. He's been all right in the twos, played both mid and forward. He's a great bloke and great club man.

 

[manang magoos]

Think he’s too slow to be a player in a good team. That being said it’s be worth North signing him just for leadership and to fill out the list imo

So therefore would still be ideal for bombers

 

[What is a cakewalk]

Reckon he'd play on a pretty low contract? Would be good for a team with a lot of young mids that need help developing *cough cough*

I can see that. He took Cody Weightman under his wing and was a great mentor to him.

Don’t really see how he fits into our side. Needs to go to a side where he can be a midfield rotation.

Had his chance to be a lion ! Blew it

 

[fargothegreat]

Think he'll be with us next year.

There's a bit of a curse going around at the dogs at the moment where the leading goal kicker of the previous year falls out or injured the following year. Started with Stringer (traded) & Picken (injured), then Gowers (delisted), Loyd (retired), now Wallis & Bruce. I think Wallis is going to be traded or retire as the way things go but would like to see him given another year and see if he get back into form.

Probably suited to a team not playing finals, like Carlton.

He'd cost you nothing as a FA and is a very good mentor off-field. Would practically be a development coach.
The last Bulldogs VC (Roughy) we sent you turned out alright.

 

[Andyy]

If he's a good bloke and clubman, why isn't he getting a game?

Can play mid or forward.

Would be happy for him to come to Richmond, we really need another couple of mids.

 

[Morro]

Is his time up as an inside bull?

Or is he simply a victim of the Dogs abundance of inside ball winners?

If he can play quality footy inside, he would be a great cheap option for us.

He can still win the ball, he's just not that quick on the spread. You need a genuinely quick midfielder in any centre square rotation if he's in there.
As a pure inside mid we have Libba then Dunkley, while our other mids are capable. He invented himself as a smart small forward (a la Gia) last year and he is strangely an excellent stand & grab contested mark. He's an accurate but not a penetrating kick.

TBH I think any club that picks him up gets him for his development work with young players as much as his on field stuff. He's a FA and not likely to be on big coin.
Any team that is losing a FA and doesn't want any FA compo impacted would get him for a very late token pick and we'd get him to wherever he wants to go (like a Jordan Roughead/Sam Mitchell/Luke Hodge style trade).

Cheers for the reply mate.

Why would he stay if he isn’t getting a game? Reckon he could go to a team that needed HF pressure and needed a guy that could roll midfield as well. Might add to depth at Essendon or even give Carlton a few years of good footy like Melksham did for us.

No interest currently.

He can play though. Have the WB shafted him a bit?

Not really he’s just not best 22. He’s not going to crack the midfield for obvious reasons and we have moved to a 3 tall forward structure. He’s too slow to carry forward with 3 talls as well. If we structure differently there could be a role in the future.

Are his inside mid days behind him? I understand you guys are stacked, but for a club needing an inside bull, could he play that role still to a reasonably high level?

He wasn’t exactly banging the door in the vfl when he returned to the mid.

 

[adogsfan5]

Perfect for anyone who wants a deep forward / defensive forward.
