Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - The Warlord/ The Boss - Fashion Icon

[gokangas]

Plenty of time for George. No point killing him now.

 

[The Nostradamus]

bye come at a good time

Rest up and attack the last 9 games of the year

60% TOG? Did I miss something

Jy and Greenwood took his midfield minutes. We suffered for it.

 

[Dingster]

Cop a knock? Low game time and spent some time forward.

 

[amaz199]

Wasn't just Wardlaw. Thomas didn't get much midfield time either. Bizarre.

 

[ferball]

Im not sure who is counting tackles - but Wardlaw only have 2 tackles mid way through the 3rd? I have see him lay at least 6

An official tackle has to prevent a disposal. Bont got tackled at least three times and got away with disposing the ball after the player lost the tackle (he was given 5-10 seconds most of those times) so they wouldn't count as official tackles.

He looked cooked all day I thought. Missing his usual spark. Not really surprising tho.

He put in a huge chase that imo he shouldn’t have . spent a lot of tickets for no gain

Jy and Greenwood took his midfield minutes. We suffered for it.

And there's the small matter of him looking knackered from about minute one

 

[Chadwiko]

Through the first 3 quarters I'm confident in saying this has been his best game in the blue and white.

 

[The acurate one]

Is probably only behind

1.LDU
2.Larkey
3.Simpkin
4.Thomas
5.Wardlaw
6.Sheezel

That's not great fyi, it's ****en sad

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

Is probably only behind

1.LDU
2.Larkey
3.Simpkin
4.Thomas
5.Wardlaw
6.Sheezel

That's not great fyi, it's *en sad

It would be great if we had two Wardlaws.

 

[The Dougster]

It would be great if we had two Wardlaws.

Three Harry’s for me. One in each area of the field

Kid is a gun, what a player he will become

 

[JGreezy]

I haven't seen a first year player this good before. What's his weakness?

You just hear the ex-players making grunts in the commentary box watching him play. Its the little things. Today he handballed it for a clearance then sprinted like a maniac to lay a huge shepherd to free up Simpkin. No hesitation. It just comes naturally. Great footy IQ.

He does those things but also has the silky skills. And also is a freak athlete.

You could put him in the middle on a premiership side at 19 years old.

His only weakness is his cardio, I guess.

Wardlaw is already a gun for half a game and will become a gun for the full game. However, AFL is a very unforgiving game when you run out of puff. We are guaranteed to get flogged under these circumstances - it’s not even a debate. I can accept that as the price we must continue to pay.

what was with that great tackle he layed that was obviously dropping the ball, then everyone stopped and the Adelaide player ran off and kicked the goal?

 

[kool kangas]

Has Wardlaw surpassed The Sheez in popularity at the moment?

 

[Fish Sticks]

His rabbid attack on the ball & man at high speed is unlike anything I have ever seen.
What an absolute freak!!
Our backline might be a giant steaming heap of turd, but our midfield is going to be elite with George & LDU leading the way.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Exceptional talent.

Puts his teammates to shame defensively. They should be completely embarrassed.

Dead heat for the next decade

 

[The Warlord]

He's exactly the kind of player you want for this stage of a rebuild.

Judas was never that player, he just doesn't have the heart.

Judas is Stringer reincarnate, he looks like he is going to rip the game apart, walking around with a beer belly. Once in a generation player if he gets fit.
