Happy the case and contract was made. I'd like to see Mitch & Macrae elevated to formal leadership roles. Must be close to the two hardest trainers, and try to lead by doing onfield, not off field.
Good news and fair reward.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
Good news. His back end of the season was very positive.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
Most accurate goal kicker in the AFEL this year. We need people who kick straight.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
It's great Wally siged on. He's as bulldog as you and me. It's good for football that players show loyalty from time to time. But in saying that I hope Wingard leaves Port
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
Very pleased to hear this.
Would've been a bitter pill to watch him go around in opposition colours, particularly Essendon's.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
One player on the list you can definitely say hasn't dropped his bundle since the club reached the summit. You need players like Wallis on the list to maintain standards and drag everyone forward, and given the age profile of the list, his experience and work rate are worth more than just his onfield output.
3 years feels about right, given other clubs were into him. A good post-season period so far for the list management crew.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Amen. Seeing my Steve Wallis’s kid in red and black would’ve killed me!

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
This was an important signing simply because Wally is who he is - really happy the club got him over the line
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
I’ll admit I was not sure he was worth re-signing, but he became a reliable goal kicker in latter part of season and I think his training standards and leadership make up for lack of pace. Just watched his speech on dog’s website and he is simply beaming-gee he is a great speaker and clubman too. Good on ya Wally. Hope the boys vote you in as one of the leadership crew and that you continue to make the doubters like me wrong (again).
Also we are really lacking lads in his age group so really glad he signed on.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
I am a bit so-so about this.
What is the best position for Wallis in a 2019 Dogs team with all players fit + Wingard?The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
