Will play plenty of seniors, the kid is a gem and will surprise a lot of people again.

Some may think comparing him to Baguley as a bad thing but its actually not that easy to find players that are prepared to scrap away for the side and do anything the coaches ask.
All good sides have one or two of them.

Baguley has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
Guelfi hasnāt done enough yet but he has made a great start to his career.
Nah keep him in #35. Someone needs to carry on with Barry Youngās legacyā¦

I see his role as being our defensive midfielder. I think he is a natural midfielder. He turns up at contests all over the ground which says he reads the play. He wins contests even when out-numbered. He does the 1%ers. He played 15 games in his first season.
Iām a believer in this kid. I think he will out perform expectations by a fair margin.

Given the overwhelming tone of this thread, the only way he could surprise next year would be if he didnāt win the B&F, Norm Smith, Coleman, Dally M medal and Nobel prize for literature.

Hmm not sure, I havenāt looked at the best 22 thread but is he named in most sides?
Not sure if youāre being serious in a tongue in cheek way or not. But the thread is about him, and yes thereās more positives than negatives in how the lad plays.
He was a third round pick (from memory) and to have played 15 games in his first year when no one expected him really to play even 1 says a lot.
Everyone who has a belief in the lad knows he needs more development, but as Ive said previously no one denied him a game when he was picked.
On that basis the positives are well justified. No one is saying he will be a star just yet. He may one day be so, but right now in my mind he well and truly justifies his place in the 22.
Iām not bagging him - I just reckon itās funny how many people are acting like theyāre his one and only fan.
Heās played almost every game since debut. Nobody would be surprised if heās a good player for us, for a long time!
Before heād played a game, sure.
I havenāt looked in their for over a month, but he seems to scrape into a fair few, mainly on the bench. A lot of teams name only one of Laverde or Guelfi.
But a lot of teams in that thread forget to name Myers who I think will be a lock at least from the coaches perspective, and Baguley seems to miss a lot too.
A lot of teams also name Gleeson, though I doubt heāll be fit and if so needs to prove he is capable again IMO, which could help Guelfiās chances.
Guelfi was was definitely a full time member (of the actual playing side) at the end of the 2018 season but I wouldnāt call him a lock - so I guess pre-season will determine the pecking order a bit.
Personally I think he will continue to improve and play around 150 games for us, but wouldnāt expect him to win a B&F or get many BL votes.
