Also an option, I can't remember who it was against but the game he started as the sub and then came on and played as a pressure forward was as good as you could hope for in that role, reckon there's a very capable footballer there that's lacking a bit of direction, a bit of love from the coaches and a defined role.

GWS I think. Like a soccer sub, came on as an impact player whose high energy changed the game and drove the resurgence, although we lost

 

[HirdyLannister]

Annoys me that he doesn't get selected more often, always gives 150% and that's all you can ask from a player.

 

[VexOh]

No body on our playing lists does the 1% ers better. Not a fan of his, but deserves a spot in a 22 with our current playing list.

Would play him ahead of Cutler and Zaka every day of the week.

 

[11kgm]

Should play every week we can't afford to loose himself

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

He's so kamikaze towards the ball that he ends up spoiling his own team mates too often.

Rather him in than out but needs to find a position.

 

[Ambrosia]

Would be the one I drop for Perkins

GUELFIOUS GLORIOUS WINGERUS LEVIOSA?

Would be the one I drop for Perkins

No way - Tippa has to come out before Guelfi- or anyone for that matter…Guelfi was decent has a crack and goes hard at the ball I’d keep him in

He is our Ed Curnow ant555

Never put the Guelf on the Shelf.

He is our Ed Curnow ant555

In some ways. Yes.

 

[Ambrosia]

Think forward is his best position. Makes things happen with his desperation and hardness whilst also being happy to play a role.

He has spark, and he works hard. I don’t mind him at all.

 

[brutus76]

Better than Zaka

Is also a very good overhead mark relative to size.

I enjoy him in the rabid sheepdog role

Huh, thought he might have gotten 2. Good re-signing

 

[Old Campaigner]

Obviously realised with Cerra looking likely for Carlton there was no point leaving him unsigned.

People talk about depth and usually it’s code for list clogger….but this guy is what it actually looks like.

Good enough to be a regular in a bottom 8 team, just in or just out of a better one but holds up his end. Can play multiple positions, always in good nick, gives effort every week and plays team orientated footy.

No reason to delist him, probably unlucky not to get 2 years.

Agreed. Positioning and disposal by foot are what holds him back from being legitimately best 22 week in week out in a good team. I think he has improved the latter this year (and improved on staying within his limitations) but not being at the games it's harder to tell if he's improved on his positioning.

Prior to this year I wondered why he was on our list and did not see anything much to work with. I was wrong about him.

 

[Ati Tude]

Glad he is staying with his. Like his hard working attributes and toughness. Need guys like him. Was a pick #76. Great find.
