Sorry, so who highlighted extremely?
Can't hear you chappy?
What's that - you were wrong?
Yep, schoolboy error on my part. Just realised.
Funny how you are basking in it. But you are right about everything, aren't you?
That is quote of the year, that disposal one.
You can watch mediocre ball-turning-over rubbish if you want.

There it is... the bottom of the barrel has well and truely been reached. Come back into the thread when you have something worthwhile to offer imbecile.
Go on, have a cry. I admitted I made the mistake of thinking you highlighted it. But the funny thing is, that highlighted word, and the conclusion I jumped to, is exactly what this topic is about.

You don't believe that:
1. He is ineffective in defense
2. He struggles to get his own ball / contested ball
3. He is one dimensional
You do think he brings speed to the side, which outweighs his disposal issues..

1. There are different roles within defence and one such role is being attacking running off half back. If you can do more damage attacking than you are giving up defending, then it is worthwhile. Case in point, last night Wojcinski was able to do this. I would never have him play a defensive role trying to shut down an oppositino player because he'd be no good at it and he'd waste his talent.
2. Not every player has to win a stack of contested ball. Wojcinski probably doesn't. I don't know. I don't particularly care because it's not important to his game. He is damaging in other ways.
3. He is far from one dimemsional. He's one of the few dynamic players we have. He's unpredictable and he's damaging. If he's a one dimensional damaging player, I couldn't give a stuff.

I've hardly spoken about speed.
Let me just reiterate my original post. You and cm35 seem to have lost sight of it.

I'd also add, as I've said ad nauseum, his disposal is not as bad as you and cm35 make out.
ffs, there are much worse players in disposal in our team than david.
martyk and cm35, stop pretending CE thinks disposal is not important. He never said that so stop putting words into his mouth. He is saying that Wojak brings such an attacking style to an otherwise at times dull side that an occasional miss kick can be forgiven. He gives something different to our one dimensional side.

He is not worth engaging with. He is a tool.

Thanks for that benny's buddy. Here's the full text of that article:
GEELONG FOOTBALL CLUB: Wojo has his footy mojo back
Michael Auciello
09Apr07
David Wojcinski was back to his best against Carlton on Saturday night.
IF he wasn't already, David Wojcinski is officially back. More importantly, he's back as good as ever.
On a night when the forward line stars stole the limelight, Wojcinski's run and drive out of defence was just as valuable.
Any kid who wants to learn how to break the lines should get a copy of the defender's game from Saturday night and study it long and hard. It was textbook stuff, and it was beautiful to watch.
Time after time he tore up the Telstra Dome turf, leaving opponents in his wake.
At least seven or eight times he hit the gas and ran, exploding forward with the pace the Cats had missed so much in his absence.
After playing 15 games on the comeback from a knee reconstruction last year, Wojcinski is hitting the form that makes him such a vital cog in the Cats' artillery.
Wojo has his footy mojo back.
``It was good, I'm sort of getting back to the form of a couple of years ago,'' he said.
``Last year, with my knee, I was on the comeback trail and this year I've had a really good pre-season, worked hard on my agility and getting my speed back, and tonight it worked for me.
``It was probably one of my better games I've had for the club, I reckon. I was really happy with it and hopefully there's more to come. In terms of the team, (I was just) one of many that had a good game tonight, so it was pleasing.
``That's the way I've always played, right through juniors and it's what I try and give the team. I try and be solid down back and then rebound hard.''
Cats coach Mark Thompson was just as happy with Wojcinski's game, in which he had 21 touches and four inside 50s.
His running goal in the third quarter was the icing on the cake in a game where he had 10 bounces, almost double the next best player on the ground.
``I thought he was very important, the game's quick, you need quick players. David's form, his touch tonight, was fantastic,'' Thompson said.
``I thought he kicked the ball at the right times and I thought he ran and bounced the ball at the right times, too.
``He's a very important player for us and it's great to see him in form.''
Do you want to keep going with this?
I laughed at his comment 'the form of a couple years ago'.
praise be!
His previous form has never been as good as it is now, or approaching that form.
