This is wellinghams 4th season on our list and was only good in 2015 .
More interested in niggle than manning up on his opponent .
His move to defence was a revelation last season but his poor disposal has been killing us .
8 clangers from a defender is very poor .

No pre-season never helps, neither does your midfield getting slaughtered meaning your under constant pressure every second when your not at full fitness. He will come good.
 
Bad call, unfair call. came in with very little pre season and 3/4 of a game in WAFL. He'll get better and if 10 games down the track he doesn't then you can have a whinge.
 
He'll come good. People were saying the same thing about shep just a couple of weeks ago after his start to the year didn't quite reach the dazzling heights of last year. Watching him today he was back to 2015.
 
Shouldnt be the scapegoat for todays effort. We broke down across HF not HB
No scapegoat but is he going to return to 2013 and 2014 form where he was dropped to the wafl ?
I think it is a valid question as 2 of his 3 seasons with us have been rubbish and looked in that form today

Unwarranted thread
Why ? He has had 1 good season out of 3 .
His form at the end of 2015 was also sketchy .
Has been poor so far this year and it has nothing to do with work rate .
Poor execution and loose defensively costing us goals

Mate take a breather and come back to this thread in 24 hrs. He has just returned from injury and was better than half the side today.
 
Stupid thread. His performance last year more than made up for his injury-affected 2013/14. Coming off another injury now and way too soon to write him off.
 
Form at the end of 2015 sketchy? Wasn't he one of our best in the finals?

I didn't think he was too bad today apart from the clangers. TBH most of our defence is getting a lot of unfair treatment but its because other teams are walking it through our midfield. One second we are contesting the ball on our HF then the next its down in our HB.

Judging him off injured/interrupted preseasons is the epitome of knee-jerk. We saw what he can do with a clean run.

Go seeking those with no excuse or validation for poor form.
 
Harsh. He wasn't that bad today at all. Both ends of the ground held up fine. Our midfield is the problem.
