He was a very nice player 2010-2012

After that not sure how he stayed on list so long
Always a premiership player tho
6 consecutive seasons of 20+ games between 2011-2016 says he contributed a bit more than just his first few seasons. A wee man who made the most of himself. Valuable player.

Nah. He was a solid little role player, who became a scape goat because our system and forward line didn't work.

Not sure what happened after 2012 but you're spot on
We moved to a 4 man forward line to maximise forward 50 entries, making our forward entries either slow or to an outnumber. Blair just copped the blame for a system that wasn't working.

Yeah I think his skillset was that of a midfielder but he was not quite good enough at it to win more than a token amount of time in the middle. Let's face it, we had a stacked team at the time, especially in the middle, with Swan, Pendles, Sidey, etc.

It's just the way - even when we were top of the ladder and winning a flag, WHE and Lippa were copping it, despite having really clear and obvious skillsets that contribute to the team. Stars and spuds with nothing in-between.

yeah it's strange. Given the draft/salary cap/soft cap, it's impossible to have maybe even 10 a-graders on a list, so these role players are so vital. Especially the ones like WHE who have the capacity to play like a-graders at times, even if only for a quarter. And luckily for us in 2023, some of our role players (WHE, McStay, Bobby, though he is more than a role player) stepped up at the right time.

I should add Lippa to the list. His best is pretty damaging though we did not see much of it this season.
