Analysis Wellingham - is he just a flash in the pan

[ThexderX]

Hi guys, not here to stir, but he is a tease. Was with us and always will be. He will test you patience.

 

[Natho]

His name is Sharrod. Different

 

[Ok Boomer]

Wellingham has the talent ok but he's one lazy footballer that never looks like he gets out of second gear.

You're probably one of the facebook people that call for McGinnity to play every week because he is *tough*. i.e you don't have a clue.

Would not be against trading Wellingham with a pick to Gold Coast for a decent WA kid

He won't be moving out of WA so think you're dreaming. That's why he wanted to be traded back West - wanted to return to his home State to be near the family

Being well burned by Simmo today.

 

[beatlesmith]

Having another shocker.

Seems to be absolutely devoid of confidence, handing the ball off to the nearest option rather than having a look and putting in spoiling attempts that would best be described as "half hearted".

Two teams in WA.

And if they dont want him he will have a choice to make then wont he?

He wont be offerred the same $ he's on now thats for sure so it will be interesting if family is as important than good money.

Poor season from wellingham IMO . A shadow of the player he was last year .
So many poor kicks and poor defensive acts . It's a shame because his best is very good .
Sharrod seems too busy looking after sharrod and not the team .

In 4 seasons at west coast sharrod has been average to poor in 3 of them .

Sharrod's 2015 was just a flash in the pan !

 

[RookiePick]

Incredibly frustrating year from Sharrod.

We ran the full spectrum from looking disinterested to butchering everything he touched due to over-enthusiasm.

He just seems the type that really needs that uninterrupted pre-season to perform anywhere near his best and that is something he hasn't managed to do while here, barring last year.

29 in July next year so we have maybe 2 more seasons, tops, of potentially playing in 2015 form.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

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.

Stop watching footy classified. Its vic centric shit

 

[domo]

he should be playing midfield

 

[bunkyboy]

Would love him to be playing midfield but clearly he's not got the tank for it at the moment.

Yet he had it 6 years ago while playing for collingwood. I doubt that is the reason why he isn't in the midfield.

Yeah, this has perplexed me. Wtf happened there? I thought he'd make a great wingman at the very least, which is pretty much what he played at Collingwood.

I think what happened was he stunk the first few seasons with us playing wing mid. Went down back 2015 and was awesome in career best form and enjoyed it so now that's his position.

 

[nameless]

Read the OP and thought it was about last night's match...that's depressing...

 

[Xsess]

Yeah one decent year in four is pretty shit return. Also sad we recruited him as a midfielder ended up having to play as a defender.

 

[nameless]

Yeah he has been ordinary, but that was a terrible draft.

Only Grundy was good from 18 onwards - and I'm not sure we would have picked him given our list at that stage.

Should've been more specific. I know he stunk it up, but I can't work out why. I mean he had the ankle problem obviously, but what was it about our midfield that caused him so much issue with fitting in and finding his form?

 

[inbetween]

Has very clean hands, but rushes all his disposals when he doesnt need to when he's such a smooth fluid player.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yeo down back, Wellers up the ground in 2017.

Just get his ankle foot problem right first I hate under Simpson how he insists on playing players carrying serious niggles.
i dont know if its his confidence in Warren Kofed or inexperience or lack of ability in other players to cover.
But Nic lycett mcgovern and wellingham have all played with serious niggles under simpson

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Too knee-jerk to yesterday's game IMO.

We were so poor in the midfield - so many experienced players just went to water and were nowhere to be seen when we needed them.

He wasn't the main issue/s behind last nights result.

Scared for his job perhaps ??

Trying to bank wins as much as he can to keep the higher-ups (and Bigfooty) happy?
