Other SANFL watchers, where do you recall Welsh being played this Year? I definitely recall him up on the wing a fair bit. He was also definite deep forward at times. Reckon he was half forward sometimes to. No mid, no defense. Wing was surprising but he did well there from what I can remember.

If he was still managing his back issues from last year, that would have impacted his ability to train and recover etc which would contribute to his lack of conditioning.
Back issues especially in young people can take ages to recover from and are tricky to manage.

Nah. He was deeper forward. Came up to the wing on the odd occasion. I’d be interested in his TOG stat for the sanfl. I reckon it was pretty low for a sanfl player

Because we don't get a say
I also recall him on the wing a fair bit. He is a natural 3rd tall in my opinion and will do best in that role considering we have Fog and TT.
He's likely getting more than 2 years, has more talent than our previous F/S selections. This straight away eliminates 90k of the 135k you say.
It's a nothing point.
Except for Max ....
Was referring to Edwards and Jarman.

Nothing in life is guaranteed except for guaranteed dollars. Nobody can predict the future. Could have a horrendous injury. Could spend too much time with our sponsor (hungry jacks).
The difference between a pick in the top 20 and a pick after 40 is $135k guaranteed at a minimum. Which is nothing to sneeze at.
Unpopular but also just a bit silly and shows you don't know a lot about him. Clearly has the ability. If ned McHenry can play 70 games at afl level, then Welsh will definetly play.
If he doesn't lift his workrate and professionalism it could happen

On what basis? Is this just a feeling in your waters
It's not a bad prediction based on all the evidence. Players who fall off badly in their draft year and allegedly have poor work ethic don't generally succeed despite their talent.
Once you're in that environment (that welsh has been in this year), how is it possible to let yourself go without it being noticed very early on? Why has it taken a whole year for us to realise and give him a kick up the ass? Has it all been overblown?

I'd suggest, the Club wanted to see how Tyler self-managed himself this year .....rather than helicoptering him
Have no fears, Tyler is very much aware of his shortcomings .....hell, "have to get fit" has come up in almost every interview with him & about him
If you watch the SANFL Showdown late in the season you can see he has a lot of talent. Applied pressure on the opponent which he has no issue with as he is an excellent team mate, quick across the ground, kick goals from strong mark and on the lead and one way outside 50. It's just he let himself go end of the season which physically showed so unsurprisingly tested very poorly in 2km at the state combine.
He can football. Fogarty is the perfect mentor for him. Hopefully he (or T.Murray) might get to dip their toes in this year when Tex is managed* and then most likely the 3rd tall position is open for 2026, if he's good enough.

Hell yeah. Hopefully them sitting up the front of a very varied midfield now, including a good dose of speed and skill means we might get a decent weight of A grade delivery into them as well.

A bigger deal out west.
Welsh isn't that raw. It's even in his highlights, the kid can be quite aggressive on the defensive side of things.
The big things are a) what does being AFL fit do to Welsh? and b) Do we even want a third tall in the post-Tex world?
