I disagree regarding his hands in close, I think they're excellent.
Wallis has had a big workload this year since returning. He'll be better after another preseason.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Fumbles more than any of our other mids IMO.

I think GWS are really building at the moment - they're finally starting to get their best team together, and once Cameron and Mumford are back - it is probably Johnson and Simpson (arguably their bottom 2 from Friday night) who miss.
Adelaide have been the best side for the season, but there is still a question mark over them in finals against the best.
Whereas the Giants belted Sydney and played very well vs us in the prelim.
I don't reckon Leon Cameron and the GWS MC has the stones to drop Stevie J for the finals, and they are clearly going to give Deledio game time in the seniors. That leaves two players out of 22 providing negligible output in finals - that won't cut it in a PF against an Adelaide or Sydney. It didn't cut it in last year's PF.

The Stevie J case will be interesting.
Deledio will be valuable for them in the finals. He's now had two games back from a long spell - I'd expect he will be in good nick for finals - and we know he is an excellent player when fit. If he stays fit - Deledio could be a real wildcard for them as a small forward with his experience, and kicking & speed attributes.

I've learnt that you can kick someone in the face and expect to only receive a fine.

or you can push someone in the chest and get three weeks when they dive on the ground.

A bit like us bringing Clay Smith in last year.

I didn't know that.

But I always knew that was going to happen.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
