Welcome there Wayde

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Was a winger for the Western Jets in 2004.

Wayde Twomey is your rather stereotypical winger. Prefers to avoid traffic and doesn't really win his own ball. Athletic enough to be looked at.

The Carlton website has 1990, I've since realised that this may be wrong

So you're that one viewer I've had. You can stop sending me nudes though thanks

If the boys don't nickname him 'Dubya' I'll lose all faith.

You know they're not really photos of me right?

You f#ckers! Will be a great loss for the Black Ducks. Great versatile running backman/midfielder with great skills

 

[Monkey King]

That's a famous name for the black & white. Anybody know if there's any relation?

Welcome aboard!

I think you've done well here guys. He has been great for Swan Districts (Black and Whites) here for a couple of years and has real football smarts. Seems to be an attacking half back who runs all day at WAFL level. Kicks the odd goal or two as well. Could be a reunion of swannies with Yarran and Garlett.

Ah Vienna !

Nice one, Midge.

Another Gem from the swans, why not, plus he's a boy from the western suburbs here in Vic.

All the best to him

Come on you blues!!!

Welcome to the CFC Wayde

Twomey readies for the trek east

Wayde Twomey remained true to his trade as an electrician when he first got wind of his rookie drafting to Carlton.

“I’m a ‘sparky’ by profession, and I was setting up a powerpoint at the time while watching the draft on my iphone,” said Twomey, who was wiring a house in the Perth suburb of Caning Vale.

“These are exciting times and I couldn’t be happier. It (the drafting) has quite literally all come out of the blue, although I did get a call from (Carlton’s assistant national recruiting manager) Shane Rogers last week and had a little bit of an inkling.”

Doesn't seem to me much info around on the bloke.

Not sure on the reliability of this source but anyway...

Details:
Club: Hoppers Crossing/Western
DOB: 21 January 1986 Hgt: 184cm Wgt: 77kg
Position: Wing
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
State Screening Camp 2004

TAC Stats:
2003: 18 games, 9 goals, 16.9 PPG
2004: 19 games, 11 goals, 22.6 PPG

Strengths: Twomey went from solid performer to one of the best ball winners in the TAC Cup in 2004. He regularly racked up big numbers including 35 possessions and 3 goals in the Elimination Final against Dandenong.
Wayde has tidy skills and is tremendous overhead for his size, very good mark indeed. He finds a lot of the ball in space and can hurt teams if not watched closely.

Weaknesses: Very unaccountable and struggles when given a tight tag. Query over his physicality that will concern the recruiters.

Footydraft.com comment: If a club is looking for an outside midfielder late in the draft or on a rookie list, Twomey would be worth a shot, just for his marking ability alone. However, he has to do more work on the defensive side of his game.

Maybe old info, maybe not. Does say 2010 draft info but it is what it is
