Despite having some doubters when recruited from Freo, I think Medhurst will be very good for the pies. While his game on the weekend was not brilliant, I think he was good and is more than an adequate replacement for Tarrant. I do not think that Tarrant would have done any better than Medhurst. Medhurst actually plays very similar to Tarrant and because of this the pies will not miss Tarrant as much as first thought.

I think you will find that Davis will play more as a midfielder this year and Medhurst will play more as a leading forward. Therefore there is room for both in the same side.

P.s. Medhusrt also frees up Didak to play more as a midfielder when he returns in a week or two.

I think Medhurst when he is having a pretty good game starts to hog the ball and just be plain selfish. eg trying to torp 60 meters instead of finding a contest.

ive heard this for a about 3 years now,and leon still hasnt shown what it takes to be a mid-fielder,not accountable enough and cant win the hard football unfortunatly
 
Ya gotta do more Leon to justify ya place...Medhurst...I'll wait and see.

P.S how much game time did Tarrant get v Port?? Unimpressive in the stats department.

his first possesion was pretty decent..... kicked a goal from about 40 metres out at a slight angle while the ball was in play.

Didn't notice him for the rest of the game except for his second goal.

Pavlich was on fire though.

Always have been a fan of Medhurst. If he can get his head and confidence right..... he can be the next phillip matera (added with the ability to take a screamer)

He's definitely got the skills.

I think the Pies could really do with some more Medhurst/Davis/Didak/Thomas like players.

I think the Saints could really do with some more Koschitzke/X.Clarke/Hamill like players. You know, the type that actually spend more games watching footy than playing :)

Interesting listening to Alves and Mackay on the radio, saying that Medhurst is built like a crumber but tries to play like a tall forward, and agreeing that unless he is kicking for goal he doesn't seem to have much of a footy brain - not great awareness for what's happening around him.

To be honest I was (blessedly in the end!) too busy watching my kids to watch much of the game, so I don't know if any Pies or Freo fans think there's anything in that?

I still think what I’ve always thought about Medhurst. He is a complete bozo that can be very good but his sausage arms give him away. If he can be creative around goal and allow Didak to play up the ground we won’t miss Tarrant that much.

Medhurst = Injured Tarrant...

Medhurst COULD kick 50 goals for you guys this year.

But as Kidstyler said he is an arrogent little ********.
