He's very composed, a solid kick and does some things very well that many top ranked players never get right. You've highlighted his excellent pressure and tackling. He has a rare combination of skills that you don't often see. I'm a fan now and think he has a bright future.
    Yes, including lightning quick clean hands, with a precise kick either side. Showed a ton of composure against Brisbane who will be top, with long penetrating kicks to Reid’s advantage that should have been marked

    Wicks has been used as a defensive forward. Maybe he is better suited to the midfield.

    He got a run in the midfield last year in the neafl against Gws. Got a lazy 40 disposals.

    Wicks would make a useful midfielder who is damaging when resting in a forward pocket.

    Given that I can only assume he hasn’t ticked the required boxes to gain his debut.Hopefully he now knows what is required and has a full offseason to work with and will be knocking down the door for selection during the early rounds of 2021
    Its a funny one, but defensively we've coped pretty well overall this year, and there seemed to be some concerns with his size in terms of being ready to take on AFL sized defenders. He must have got close as Longmire said a couple of times he did, but he will earn his stripes when he is ready.

    I'm happy you were way off the mark with that call barracuda (even though I was feeling the same)

    One less smother in the last 20 seconds and the final scores could well have been 10.9 (69) for both clubs.

    Have you had any dreams about the AFL Grand Final, 2020 Draft, Joe Daniher or the Melbourne Cup by any chance?

    A few weeks ago Steve Johnson said Gould would play this year. So if Gould doesn't play, then Johnson will get delisted, defrocked and disemboweled for lying on the radio. You can't do that in Australia and get away with it. His reputation is on the line.
    So it goes.

    Um you can lie on radio. I men Alan Jones does it all the time. Steve Price and of course John Laws all lies through their teeth. Media today is more self regulating than not. ACMA is only there if you have taken a grievance to the industry body and been ignored. That is taken an issue to the self regulator who are funded by? You guessed it the radio stations. I know this whay? Because I worked in radio.

    It seems that satire has not yet penetrated the entirety of the Australian wilderness.
