YepLoved Wardlaws game vs GWS.
Is he the only one of our mids who shows some urgency when he doesn’t have the ball?
so I didn't say it then. good to knowIt’s tough to get your meaning without capitalizing and, it seems, punctuation. These are important in written communication.
A game where he did his signature run through a pack three times. The rest of the time he was watching the GWS midfield stream forward.No he wasn't. 29 disposals and 6 tackles. What game were you watching
That is why bringing in Phillips increases this number by 100%.Loved Wardlaws game vs GWS.

agree, wasnt as creative with ball in hand as a couple of games last year ( v swans last year he was electric) but was still chasing and applying pressure late in all quarters, tank building, another half a foot of pace and he had a couple of those tackles cold. he pounces like a cat. deffo has the oppo 2nd guessing wieh in the tight contests,Hard markers around here.
He was pretty special in the second quarter with his ferocity. He got us back into the contest and definitely impacted their midfield patterns with his tackling and second efforts.
He's got a 9 game tank.
phillips and wardlaw could be the new cunners and jed going forward,That is why bringing in Phillips increases this number by 100%.
An issue for a lot of our mids is their tanks are averageEssentially, I suspect George is already trying to transition from a highlights package player to a more sustainable, consistent player. This will, probably, prove to be a tad frustrating for those of us up in “the Gods” section. We really enjoyed those spectacularly destructive cameos from last year. Unfortunately, that approach results in him fatiguing and blowing up too quickly. It’ll take a while before he becomes the finished product. It will be a hard wait for us…
Lol, picks out 1 example and that's his assessment. Go have a lie down, you're cooked. LDU in our best 3A game where he did his signature run through a pack three times. The rest of the time he was watching the GWS midfield stream forward.
It is not news, but it would be good to see him apply the same effort with his defensive running as his offensive.
And before you quote me tackle numbers, if you didn’t see him flat footed as GWS streamed away on about ten occasions, then you may have been listening to the game on the radio.
massively underwhelming today imo. pressure is good obviously but his kicking and decision making leaves a lot to be desired.
Would be on the cusp next week with Simpkin back and phillips a possibility, who i think had a better preseason than him overall
Drop him f***.This is going to be fun..watching him develop over the next few years…he’s going to be darn scary….
But credit to his manic pressure…leading to a goal….we have an unbelievable talent here.
Drop him f***.
A 200 game player in Coniglio absolutely shat them because big bad George Wardlaw was on his hammer. All nine games of him.
He can’t kick for shit and that’s well known inside the four walls of Arden St.Actually can't believe you got smashed for this opinion.
He's my favourite player but he hardly touched it and his kicking was pus. He'll improve but with competition for spots it wouldn't be a surprise to see him on the cusp.

They reckon it will be 2/3 years until his kicking is on point.
True story that
Geez I’d love to hear the unedited version of how Clarko described our skills under Bradley.Not doubting your mail old mate as it's been fairly spot on over the journey but George has played nine games and I reckon multiple times has hit kicks that I've audibly exclaimed at. If the club reckons he can't kick then they must think half our list has had leg amputations
“Hardly touched it”.
4th highest amount of disposals for every u20 in the comp that played this weekend.
Only Sheezel, Weddle and McKercher ahead of him and about 3 dozen behind him.
Had the highest defensive pressure rating of all u20s in the league also and top 25 for the round AFL wide.
He was THE main reason the side clawed its way back as his pressure resulted in direct scores on a few occasions in the 2nd QTR.
That would be awesome if he were playing in an under 20s league. As for an AFL level midfielder, he didn't get near it enough.
In the absence of the bloke getting it 30+ times a game, I'm pretty comfortable settling for his mid-teens touches from <75% game time, and being the only player in our midfield who satisfies both criteria of being manic defensively and offensively. After nine senior games
