Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Pick 18, Josh Weddle

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sam says Blicavs…

 

[number23]

totally agree. Wardlaw gets a lot of media praise for a bloke whose kicking is meh. Sure he hunts the ball for a half of footy before he tires, but his disposal needs a lot of work. Sheezel and Ashcroft are top shelf, but again, we would laugh at any proposal to trade him for either. Weddle is a unicorn.

I think that Wardlaw is like an early version of Clayton Oliver. Can get a ball but looks ungainly and not an elite kick (Choco ever told him that).

I need a slowmo cam of weddle in game, genuine specimen

Josh Weddle, he glides through the ground that he is the only bloke who gets incorrectly pinged for running too far after 10 metres.

Gerard Healy's commentary.........absolute silence

 

[HeHateMe]

Weddle made the squad for the 22 under 22, would also think he would be a very good chance at the team as well. Awesome work!

It’s a fan voted team, so it means popular players get in.

He should be popular though.

 

[Roddy]

His flashes of absolute brilliance highlights again the need for a KPD. He makes a decent fist of being one, but I don’t think that’s where his future is. I reckon he needs to be freed up, midfield or wing.

Career best game so far

The single biggest reason why we need another big tall is to unleash Weds. He's phenomenal.

 

[Billyc]

Footy world sleeping on how good this second year player is and can be.

He can be the best player on the list and a forward half superstar. Mid/forward has to be his future.

 

[MC_9]

He is going to be special

I think Anthony Hudson is all over him (and Dear)

How’s the salute to the crowd! Hawks really doing a number on my Wallet now

Barrass to FB.
Battle to CHB.

Weddle to CHF.

Spine complete.

 

[ahhhhhh]

Weddle to CHF.

Spine complete.

I was thinking this during the game. CHF who works back into defence and burns them on the rebound.

Said virtually the same thing a coupla posts north…

 

[matey]

He is a freak ……. see him up forward at times then blink and see him standing down back next to McKay. The Wizard is unbelievable!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Play him on the HFF and let him free-wheel.

 

[Badesumofu]

I love Josh Weddle. Very handy down back, but I think if we can release him to play more wing and forward he will be massive. Special pick up.

 

[I got the outside word]

What the ****? Is he even human?

Jeremy Cameron mk2. Roam around, lose your man and float in from the side for an easy mark.

How good would it be to watch Weddle do this role every week? He can absolutely bang a goal from 50+m out.

Would love to see him do a 60/40 forward/midfield role next year.

 

[threesixpio]

Surely that’s a goal of the year contender ? Farkn stupidly good goal
