He wasn’t in the bottom half dozen to play for us that year, let alone “in recent times”
Kavanagh, Dalgleish, Dellhole, Will Hams, Hardingham, OBrien, 2013 model Jetta had lost whatever miniscule fragment of confidence he ever had, 2013 model Pears, Hille & NLM who were all utterly cooked.
Kommer was only good at one thing, but we had guys who weren’t even that good.
These kind of things can happen when a player they’ve wanted to nominate over course of season gets it even though another young player puts in better performance.
But not the other way around as has happened here.
Not only has Guelfi’s season been better but his weekend performances were.
Do you all love Dodo or what? The last 20 or so posts hit the nail on the head.
Yeah you only get 1 Kommer, Guelfi, Bags or Hibberd per 3-4 or so rookies.
That’s why you churn the rookie list and don’t use it to hang onto rejects from the senior list & you don’t use it on skinny 5yr project players either. Its for speculative mature bodied boom/bust types.
Oh and for all the Kommer sceptics, yes he played x1 good season and his stats weren’t A grade but it was his work off the ball too… would like to see someone pull his 1%ers.
I’m sure a surface look at Walla’s stats in 2017 would on face value look as though he’s bottom 1/2 of our playing list when I tjink I’m right in saying Champion data ranked him as elite.
Guelfi is a no fuss, hard working football citizen. Plays within his limits, doesn’t make many errors and will become even better as he plays more games.
Hard to understand why he went at a lowly pick 76 in last year’s draft.
