The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis

[Testekill]

Ok, for the sake of some discussion, what are Wallis's limitations and what is case NOT to sign him?

* Not quick
* sometimes struggles to keep his feet
* if playing as a mid then he needs to be at the coalface but Libba is just far better in that role.


I'm all for keeping Wallis though; besides the fact that he's a good midfielder in an age range that we're badly lacking, you really can't just cough up solid father sons especially when they've had elite seasons in the past.

Considering he still has no idea how to lead his ability to kick goals in his last 6 games (11 total) is very impressive.

Given our delivery, this may be an advantage.

Libba has had three of the last four seasons ruined with injury. Sizeable gamble assuming he gets back on park to any affect on a long term basis.

As per another thread, the Hun reports Mitch has interest from Essendon, Gold Coast & Brisbane already. I'm assuming his manager was the source for the comment 'a four year deal' would be the clincher.

A popular boy is our (currently) Mitch.

The source was Wallis about two weeks ago.
He also came at and said he has no idea where the latest crap story came from about him not being at the dogs next year.
This was the same reporter who had reported a few were leaving eg Sloane and McGovern I believe . So it seems he will keep doing it until he gets one right and is declared an expert.

And then all the others start saying "there are reports" or "sources say" when really they should say "known fantasist makes up another bullshit story"

You have to wonder what the delay is when you look at some of the other contacts we've thrown around.

Does being able to win a contest and kick accurately at goal go against him?
