One thing I have noticed about Wellingham is that he has bulked up a bit over the past few years. I was overseas when he was killing it at the start of the year. The form he ahs produced of the past month highlights to me he is vital to our flag chances this year, and the next five years.

Also, the other guy that could have been traded in the Ball trade, Goldsack, has also bulked up from his thin frame, and is killing it.

The boy has arrived.

As has been said, he has it all and he can do it all.

I was completely against trading him out last season and it just goes to show that as supporters we are demanding very quickly, rather than allowing the players the time and patience to develop.

He is going to be an A-grader.
 
PIES: Hey St Kilda, want a ridiculously quick, young, skilled, hard, inside midfielder as a swap for Luke Ball?

SAINTS: LOL, NAH we've got Peake and Lovett - you can have them both for nothing

PIES: :)

SAINTS: :o
 
I thought it was Goldy we offfered them......and we got the yeah, nah.

And then we shopped Wellers to North to see if we could get a draft pick we could use to sweeten the deal to Saints.

Irrespective...sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.
 
That was his best game for the club especially considering the big nature of the game.

He has all the attributes of a gun player. It's all up to him from here.

He's been cited for making contact with the umpire at half time.

You knew he would, its BS if he gets suspended, lots of other sports, Soccer etc you always see player touch an umpire to ask a question, thats all Sharrod was doing.
 
^ I actually think he was demonstrating something to the umpire. It was quite friendly and gentle contact.

You wouldn't think he would cop a suspension, maybe a fine?

It wasn't aggressive like the Heater one from last year.
 
I'm pretty sure a Saints player touched an umpire in one of our games this year and nothing happened to him. If anything happens to Wellingham there is roughly a 100% chance of the club sending in a please explain to the AFL about it.

I think Quartermaine found out a Collingwood player was ****ing his wife or something the way he was carrying on that night.
 
Ridiculously good last night, huge in setting up the game early. He has a great set of skills and as has been mentioned above probably the only midfielder on our list with the ability to do the win the clearance, navigate through traffic, burst out into space, hit a foward. Between him, Pendles, Swan and Didak the skills, balance and versatility in the midfield group is top quality.

Certainly loves the big stage Sharrord, at times right throughout his career he seems to suffer from "cruise control" at times, hopefully he has a huge finals series.

It's been mentioned by a few others a number of times but he is a real Kerr-lite.
 
i've been a bit iffy about him in the past but he has won me over after that game, he deff showed his colours. Lets hope hes a pie for life he will be huge.
 
Maxy said on Channel Seven on Sunday morning, that he saw Welly talking the the umpire, went over to him and told him not to approach the umps, only captains should do that, and Welly told him that the ump had asked him (Welly) to explain what the complaint (I think it was the Selwood scuffle) was about.

So if that's the truth, then the ump has initiated the discussion with Welly. He shouldn't have touched him, but if the ump has asked him to illustrate the ducking action of Selwood (which it looked like he was doing), then nothing should come of this.... but it is the AFL.
 
The umpire thing is a non-issue.

I think it'll be a fine at worst.

Remember the umpire called Wellingham over. He didn't go on his own. Pretty sure it was an instructional thing.

Ealier in the game you hear the umpire say to Sharrod:

"Sharrod, SHARROD! Don't do that again, awright?"

So he was then calling him over to explain what he did wrong, and it seemed the 'touching' was for demonstration/instructional purposes. Ump had no issue with it.
