pressure on wines and drew to not stink it up

I only just realised that he’s a Top 10 draft pick lol.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

4th Rounder?

 

[all seeing eye]

From freo people, criticism is he can only play one spot, that of an inside midfielder, he has a poor engine struggling to cover the ground , finally is poor defensively, in that he doesnt run back when its your turn to defend.

However he does win clearances and at 190cm is a bigger unit.

They're not familiar with talking up the value of an exiting player, are they? Need some lessons from Saints and North fans.

Anyway, good to see the rumour following through, welcome Will!

 

[Papa G]

54 games in 9 seasons. How is he even still on a list?

Don't care if opposition fans don't think a midfielder runs hard enough defensively. Most mids don't when you actually watch them.

I'll take the stats at his last afl season of 11 brownlow votes, top 15 in the league in tackles, top 10 in clearances, top 10 in contested possessions and top 10 in disposals.

If you're able to get to that many contests that you're dominating clearance and tackle numbers, I will take that over a lot of the output other "defensive mids" give you.

He finished 2nd on the team in brownlow votes and didn't finish top 10 in the club bnf. If Carr wants him back I'll trust his opinion as his line coach over the team coaches who clearly didn't like him.

Davies would’ve sacrificed the next two drafts and handed him a $700,000pa cheque, so we’re already ahead

He's no Jackson Mead but welcome anyway.

Sheriff Brodie!

 

[backtozero]

Not mad about getting depth when we've had none for several years.

 

[Macca19]

I only just realised that he’s a Top 10 draft pick lol.

Went into his draft year as the #1 pick elect. Slid a little. Hasnt delivered on his deaft ranking apart from that one year.

He’s almost an unknown now after barely playing for three years.

At the very least will provide some midfield cover and moves us away from having Mead et al in there

 

[Lefti93]

With Brodie and Wehr coming in we'd be adding 2 players from the 2016 draft age group (1998). We would have 8 in total already on the list from that age group. Marshall, Powell-Pepper, Drew, Ratugolea, Zerk-Thatcher and Sweet.
