I'm a fan of Priddis and even I would agree that I'd be happy to have Wellingham take Priddis' place.
Agree, pretty easy for a pumpkin to stand out amongst a field of potatoes.
Wellingham is unlikely to suddenly jump into being our top Brownlow poller like Ebert did for Port but if he can become a solid contributer and part of our midfield rotation and help to see us finish top 2 then he's worth the pick IMO.
We have clearence problems as is.
Which leads to our midfielders chasing tail, which in turn leads to Priddis being exposed against the better midfields.
Unless our midfield is that much better then the oppositions I cant see Priddis in the team and us competing in earnest with the better midfields. I wish I was wrong but have seen nothing over the last 2 years to change my perception of the situation.
What's the solution?
Yes because a late first round 17 year old should have no problems with an inside mid role.

Total overreaction, we are in a premiership window now not in 3-4 years time when the pick 17 will be ready. Slight overpay but he has better form than ebert before he went and we all thought we got reamed with an early 2nd rounder in a compromised draft. 20 -25 probably about right but we don't have that pick, so be it.worst trade our club has been involved in
this will be a bust. anyone who's watched wellingham will know he's not worthy of the hype. one of those second-third tier mids who lucks out and plays in a side with other GUN mids, scores a flag and gets an inflated reputation. his game is littered with deficiences. he's simply another version of priddis, rosa, dalziell, selwood, etc in that he's a solid trier who lacks that true quality which our midfield desparately needs.
a first round pick forhim? embarrassing moment for the club. at least we'll have a new whipping boy now swift is gone.
He's saying that players potentially available at 17, such as vlastuin would have no chance at doing well in their first year as an inside mid.What are you talking about?
We need a first hands alternative so we don't burden more attacking players with the role. We don't have that player listed. So yeah pick 17 would have been useful.
Add Cripps to that and we are ok
No thanks. Once was enough, champ.
The frustrating thing for me was we had no need to overpay (we did only slightly) because he was uncontracted and requested to come to us meaning we should of been paying unders.
I find it really frustrating that atm it looks like we won't have even one pick in the top 30.
I know.As you say ut was probably just a bit overs. The thing that annoys me is that it is to Collingwood who have made a habit out of getting players in their premiership window paying unders or other dubious means.
