    Wallis reminds me of Steele Sidebottom in his ability to find space and accumulate possessions without having what you'd call blistering pace. I think another strong pre-season will give him the tank to better find space at AFL level, and more often than he has done this season when he's played seniors. Having said that, 'future star' is far too early a call to make.
    He reminds me of Priddis.

        That's a really good call and not just because of the curls.

        The knock on Wallis is his lack of hurt factor by foot - dare I say, Daniel Cross like?

            Cross lacking hurt factor??? hurts me plenty almost every time he kicks it, or in anticipation....oh...you...mean hurting the opposition.

                The Wallis call surprises me on what we have seen this year, what has you believing he has 'star' qualities?
                Bit of both really Mantis, names give them a genetic head start but we have seen how well Libba has taken to the game at 18. Given Wallis apparently collected in excess of 40 possessions in the premier game of players in his peer group certainly shows he has something special.

                They both have 'football smarts' in spades too.

                I will state again that I am far from the action and do not get to watch Williamstown.

                The guys are very young and have enormous potential. Saying they have a great chance of being A graders is no sillier than saying they are not. What makes you so sure, at this stage of their career, that they can't become A graders? Brownlow medalists?

                There was no wishing involved, I said they are POTENTIAL A graders. It would be silly to discount them given their age and ability.
