Gus I think Wells is an exciting player but very much bodering on overated,an why is everthing that go's wrong for the Roos is a genuine excuse i,e Wells but for RT its not
gustiger12 said:Funny watching the Roos game the other day got me thinking. Many people screamed blue murder over the Johnson deal claiming it cost us Wells. Well started thinking some of those same people are now into Tambling, but where do you rate Wells in relation to Tambling.
I reckon Ritchie is starting to shape as a more rounded player than Wells.
Any thoughts.
IrockZ said:wells taught richie a lesson when we played the kangas, 1st half in particular
boundary throw in near kangas goal wells swoops on the footy and kicks an easy goal, richie caught ball watching
boundary throw in on the wing wells easily runs away with the footy because richie had no touch at all
of course wells is 2 years ahead so you'd expect him to do that but it just shows how the basics are still missing in richie's game
im not concerned with stats but more so workrate and running both ways which is why richie still has a long way to go

Disco08 said:Out of interest, have a look at the stats for the best players from this years theoretical NT state side (from their 20 year old seasons).
McLeod - 10.2 touches, 1.6 marks, 1.2 tackles, 19 games
P Burgoyne - 11.4, 2, 1.3, 10
S. Burgoyne - 11.2, 3, 2.6, 25
X Clarke - 10.8, 3.2, 2.8, 19
R Clarke - 8.6, 2.8, 1.6, 5
Aaron Davey - 9.5, 1.1, 1.6, 19
Whelan - 13.3, 3, 2.3, 16
Alwyn Davey - didn't play an AFL game until he was 23
Brennan - 9.4, 3.2, 0.8, 5
D Motlop - 12.3, 4.1, 2.7, 15
Stokes - didn't play 'til he was 21, in that season - 13.0, 5.7, 2.6, 9
Hentschel - 10.5, 3.5, 0.7, 18 as a 21 year old
Tambling - 13.4, 4.5, 2.6, 18
Wells was a bit ahead of Tambling in his 20 year old year - 17.9, 3.9, 2.0, 22, but he didn't play most of his football in Darwin prior to being drafted.

Same here.
How does the saying go again, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog. ;D
