Analysis Sharrod Wellingham

[paran]

Wellingham showed his potential against GC by keeping Ablett in check and being damaging the other way. Needs to be played more in this role as it get him nearer the ball and he's more damaging than most others on our team. So need more time in the middle playing on the better opposition. He's a jack of all trades type, which doesn't help us much right now.

The issue with him is that we caved and gave up 17 instead of 31. Stupid of our front office and has nothing to do with him. Get rid of Nisbett ASAP IMHO and find the next Rosich.

 

[Level_Headed]

I feel like Wellingham is a good player when he knows that he will get the result that he is seeking. If he is 100% certain that he going to get the loose/disputed ball or make the tackle he will. If he is only a 99% chance then he just goes in half hearted and loses out to the people going all out.

[Dark Sharks]

Kennedy is a good player, Paparone too perhaps, Grundy

Hard to tell, not all those players have been given opportunities.

 

[kane249]

I would say Grundy the ruckman is the last thing we need, however given our selection policy at times this year.....

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Deropppped.

 

[kane249]

Anyone from 19-23 in that selection list could have been good for us

 

[Doughboy]

Lets see if he can be as laconic at East Perth, than he has been at senior level!

Going to the EP Game on Saturday, so I am sure there will be some frustrated reports back!

You are absolutely correct.
We did as well as we were going to at pick 18.

 

[Chris_6678]

If he has been dropped for the 3rd time i say we leave him in the WAFL for 3-4 matches at least and let him work his way back. He showed last year when he was fit he had class but this year i haven't seen it bar the good tagging job he did on ablett.

 

[bodazoka]

To be honest I am unsure about Wellingham's long term future, he can't just sit in the background here and play the odd great game. He needs to be a foundation for our midfield not a bit player.

In saying that.. you are probably correct does not look like a flash draft year at all!

Which was only for half a game.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

If he was at the Eagles his entire career this would be career at the crossroads sorta thing, third time dropped as a 'big time recruit' on substantial pay, ouch

 

[Broken_Chairs]

i know he's cops flack here and i know he's been inconsistent this year... but i don't really understand dropping him when we have as many midfielders out at the moment as we do. imo there's others in the team who have been just as inconsistent this year, lack the class he can produce and yet are somehow immune.

I'd say he is the worst performing especially for his experience and pay packet. Masten was the other I thought was poor but he seemed to step it up a bit last weekend.

He has been very disappointing to say the least I know he aint no lone ranger but
as one of the older players on the list he rarely leads by example . Simmo had no choice but to drop him ,hes made the statement that its time to test the kids on the list ,Wellers may be spending the rest of the season at East Perth....its not a great endorsement about his future .

 

[Biggie]

Yep pretty disappointed with Wellers. Had high hopes,and was in the pick 17(18?) was worth it.

Very disappointing.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Dropped because of his work rate and rightly so.

 

[Sassy420]

Thought I would just weigh in here and say about ****ing time he got dropped. Needs to work on his effort, not his hair a bit more.

 

[Daveismad]

I'm not convinced he's a midfielder

I'm seriously not, he lacks the endurance and repeat efforts

Maybe he's half back flanker ...or small forward

I'm unconvinced he can be midfielder on Subiaco oval

 

[Sassy420]

I'm unconvinced he can play midfielder.

Fixed.

 

[Daveismad]

Fixed.

Yeah

I just think our oval is unique

You have got to be able to run and run hard and have some pace is handy also

He's got pace ....but I reckon he lacks gut busting endurance

 

[flamingEMBERS]

You are absolutely correct.

way too early to judge.
