JEROMEY WEBBERLEY
ORIGINAL CLUB CLARENCE
DOB 12/07/1988
Height: 181cm
Weight: 78kg

Tassie player now on AFL's radar
By: Brett Stubbs
CLARENCE flier Jeromey Webberley has not only set the TSL alight, but has apparently caught the attention from those across Bass Strait as well.
Webberley, who just turned 21, was best afield in the Roos' big win over Lauderdale, amassing 40 touches and 22 inside 50s off the half-back flank.
The three votes ensured he will be the inaugural winner of the RACT Player of the Year -- although North Launceston's Darren Crawford can share the award if he polls three votes against Devonport.
With the Gold Coast taking the cream of the best young talent from what is believed to be a shallow draft, there is plenty of talk Webberley could be headed to an AFL club next season.
``I've heard a few whispers around the club and in the general public,'' Webberley said of his draft chances yesterday.
``But I've just tried to put that out of my head and concentrate on what I'm doing for Clarence because our main goal this year is to win the premiership, we don't want to finish second.''
He puts his form this year down to confidence playing at senior level alongside the likes of Brett Geappen, Cameron Thurley, Josh Green, Jaymes Baker and Ben Setchell.
``It helps when your team is winning and you've got great players around you who feed you the ball and make your job a lot easier,'' the second year apprentice carpenter-joiner said.

Im not trying to be smart but why are we taking 21 year old half back flankers from Tassie? Hasnt this player been available in previous drafts? I really dont understand why we drafted the way we did after pick 19.

We had a need to find a forward pocket. We have no need for half back flankers. Common smokey you know thats the case.

Probably because he has the attributes that hardwick wants good skills and wins his own ball and is doing well at senior level. he may be a late bloomer which is why he hasnt been drafted before..
Once upon a time, before the draft and elite juniour football leauge, he is probably the sort of bloke that would have a number of VFL clubs knocking on his door asking him to come and try out.

And we have Gilligan as a 2nd year rookie who is showing good improvement and we drafted Nason at #71 who shows a lot of Nahas-like attributes and we have Nahas. We have actually covered off on goal-sneaks pretty well. Maybe Webberley was one of the 'hidden gems' that clubs went looking for in this year's draft, regardless of position? Playing very well against men and we have a very good link to local Tassie knowledge now with our new Coburg coach. Maybe this guy is worth a shot based on some 'inside' info? At pick #67 we aren't risking the world and prior to the draft many pundits in the media (and on here) were spruiking the need to 're-screen the tailings' for those that might have slipped through the cracks. Well, we appear to have done just that and yet you still aren't happy! Who were you thinking we would get with these picks?

I havent labelled anyone a dud. I hope all the boys succeed but from the outside it seems that there wasnt alot of planning after Ben Griffiths at 19. Hope Im wrong.

....... but from the outside it seems that there wasnt alot of planning after Ben Griffiths at 19.
I see it sooooo differently Ramps. I think we have done bloody well with the picks we had, the list we had and the types we chose that have a fair chance of success.

smokey...i am with you on this...i think the club did well thinking outside the square...
Ramps...if you go through the kids drafted...they all seem to have some good quality about them...the videos mainly show clean skills...you may see the thinking behind the selections that you are finding hard to see...

that was the thing they kept harping on about on SEN as I was driving home
That Richmond appear to have focused on getting blokes who are good kicks
if that is the case then and they work out then we should be happy

This from BF:
have seen webberley play live about 10 times. he just runs all day off the half back line setting up plenty of scoring chains. is a really good kick off the footy on the right boot dosnt have much off a left though. can give it a real roost to, kicked the winning goal in the gf for clarence from 53m off 2 steps on the boundary. is silky in his movements to regulary baulking and working his way around and through tackles.
finished runner up in the state player of the year which wasnt surprising considering he had 30 disposals most weeks, even had 40 a few times (45 was his best). real think he will make it as an afl player off the half back flank. at 67 i see him as a steal. if he wasnt 21 i rekan he would of went top 30 over the moon to have this bloke at the club, probably my favourite selection of the night
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16354634&postcount=6
-
and from TFLUA-Tiger on BF:
Webberley - words that come to mind; quick, explosive, elusive, penetrating kick.
Watched him somewhere between 10-15 times this year (must have seen you at least once Foles) and predicted someone would take a punt on him in the ND when taking my Mock Draft selections.
His ability to add run and dash off the half back flank is amazing, and he's a link player who gives off the ball,runs hard, receives, gives it off and sprints to get it again.
Kicking is penetrating and he covers 50 metres quite easily, and I'd have him as a good kicker rather than an amazing one as far as accuracy goes.
In all the games I watched him played, I never saw him tackled with the ball - his ability to back-pedal, sidestep and get out of trouble is truly sensational.
Jeromey isn't of a big build, and I believe that helps him with his evasiveness, but he'll want to get bigger over the Pre-season to step straight into AFL. Has really good goal sense and could play off both the forward and back flanks but I'd put him as a back flanker.

oh well dimma has proven to be a quick learner then , Hawks always banged on about that as a theme for their recruiting

Welcome Jeromey, lets see you run next year all day mate!!

I've been doing my best to take your comments with a grain of salt Ramps but this one got me. Honestly, how on earth would you know this?
Selections not following what you were expecting or hoping does not equal no planning.

yep thats fair enough, I accept your point. do you reckon we took 1 or 2 players to early and that put our picks out of kilter. Its just an opinion thats all. Me for example, I would of hoped we take McMillan at 35 and Astbury at 44 as just 1 example. We took Astbury at 35 and missed out on McMillan then we we Dae who has only played limited amounts of footy. Its just an opinion thats all.

Scientific fact athletic development is unqiue some blossom 19yo+..
I wonder how many people saw James Hird when he was drafted very late going.. Pfft why did we pick up this guy..
Everyone develops differently. This guy may not have even been good enough to nominate for the draft 2 years ago and has blossomed recently.
You have 2 extremes
Keplar Bardley, JON's that explode in U/18 level and look unreal and don't improve and you have your Webberley or Myles Sewell type that aren't great junior players that blossom to AFL standard.
Can't predict the future just have to give your club the best chance and I reckon we did that
-
i just realised that Webberley, though a mature age recruit, was born in the same year as jack riewoldt, only 3 months older. Still a kid also. Even played for the same junior club Clarence. Wonder if they knew and played with each other in the junior days

Webberley draft shock
Adam Smith
November 27, 2009 09:35am
TASMANIAN Jeromey Webberley was a shock pick in the AFL draft last night.
It was just club training as normal last night for the speedy Clarence defender -- until he got the phone call that changed his life.
AFL draft in depth: Every pick, every team
The State League premiership hero, who won the TSL RACT Player of the Year award, the Roos best and fairest, finished second in the Tassie Medal and kicked a booming 60m goal which sealed the Roos grand final win this year, was taking part in the club's 2010 pre-season.
That was until his mum rang to tell him Richmond had selected him in the national draft with pick No. 67.
Webberley will now look to follow in the footsteps of Kangaroo Liam Anthony and Fremantle defender Greg Broughton by making an impact in the AFL as a mature-age recruit.
The 21-year-old only received a phone call from the Tigers yesterday morning, and was clearly stunned about realising his dream.
"Unbelievable. It's the best feeling in the world," Webberley said.
"The Tigers rang me this [yesterday] morning and said to keep it quiet. It was a bit weird because it was the first time I had talked to the them, I didn't think they were interested in me.
"They made it sound like they would grab me in the rookie draft, that's how I perceived it and I wasn't really excited until I got to training and all the boys said I might go.
"I told Budge [coach Brett Geappen] to hold my phone . . . then a phone call came through and it was mum. She was at home watching on Fox Sports and Budgie said "you've made it."
Webberley's selection capped one of the most successful drafts ever for Tasmania, with Marcus Davies (Carlton), Ryan Harwood (Brisbane) and Jesse Crichton (Fremantle) all second round picks, on top of Burnie duo Mav Weller and Luke Russell already signed by the Gold Coast.

-
As much as he appeared a pick out of the blue, Webberley was listed in Inside Football's 200 potential draftees before the draft under the title "some more likely types". So the word must have got around that someone was interested in him.
"Runner-up in the league medal down here and he might be a rookie chance. He was the main talking point out of our state league and is a very hard working, athletic midfielder who just goes and goes. He just outworks people, basically. There's not much of him, which might go against him." - AFL Tasmania high performance manager Nick Probert.

* David Astbury - KPP who can kick. Need some talls after delisting several.
* Troy Taylor - lots of talent. Could be a 'steal'
Not sure about this Matthew Dea bloke but he sound like there is some upside, youngest player on the list.
I am not so sure about picks #67 & #71 but you cannot really be expecting superstars with these late picks.
I am quite happy with Benjamin Griffiths & Troy Taylor.

It says in the article that the Tasmanian State League was only formed this year, so he was an unknown in a new comp

Hardly unknown I would think Infamy. The competition structure might be new but the teams are all old school and been around for years. I'm pretty sure the opposition (and AFL scouts) would have known who was who in the zoo, even if the team was originally from another competition.

sounds like a good guy, hopefully his skills are what Richmond say it is!

No worries Infamy, I had a hunt around and couldn't find anything either but that was as much about Clarence the club - they have been very successful over the years but don't have a website or much info on Wiki so up until this year Webberley doesn't get much of a mention at all. It's like this was his breakout year at that level. Of the current players Justin Sherman is the most recent Clarence AFL player - I would be happy if Webberley turned out as good as him. :thumbsup
-
Of the current players Justin Sherman is the most recent Clarence AFL player
Jack Riewoldt ;)

Doh! Thanks FF. One thing it does point to is that this club appears to do a pretty good job of developing kids to a standard of 'AFL capable'. Something else in Webberley's favour perhaps?
-
Some video of Webberley playing for Clarance from the RFC site:
http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/227619
-
I know this is a 'highlights' package but he looks like he has good vision. If he see an option he takes it straight away... and finds the target. If there is nothing he has the composure to wait. Lets hope he can step up to AFL standard.
-
It's at a lower (slower) level but from that vision his footskills seem very reliable and he can hoof the ball a fair way.

I am not sure if he was a new recruit to Clarence, but prior to this year Tasmania had two leagues that made up the "top tier" in the state, the Southern Football League, and the Northern Tasmanian Football League. AFLTas then decided to put them together and chose teams from each region that would comprise the new state league. So it really is old clubs in a brand new competition.
I know he did play for Brighton in the SFL premier league previously, which was in the same SFL league Clarence played in, but I don't know if he moved to play for Clarence in 2008 or this year but I'd say if he was playing for Brighton last year (who are celler dwellers) his chance of getting into a Clarence State league team would been next to none so I'd bank on he's been there for a couple of years.
-
yeah our NTFL and SFL went into one league state league not all teams went into it though i dont think brighton did they might of cant remember now season was a little while ago.

Jezza, you beauty
richmondfc.com.au
By Tony Greenberg | Mon 07 December, 2009
Leading Tasmanian football writer, James Bresnehan, believes Richmond’s “smokey” selection in the recent AFL National Draft, Jeromey Webberley, has the necessary attributes to succeed at the game’s highest level.
Webberley, 21, was taken by the Tigers at pick 67 overall in the draft, after an excellent season with Clarence, who won the Tasmanian State Football League premiership.
“Only two years ago, he was playing in the reserves down at Brighton, which is one of the local southern football league clubs. Then, he was convinced to go to Clarence and, from there, he’s just absolutely blossomed,” said Bresnehan, who writes for the ‘Hobart Mercury’.
“He’s a very hard-running, fast half-back, who is great in traffic. He loves to break the lines, is very hard to catch, and can hit a target at full pace . . . his skills are excellent.
“Defensively, “Jezza” is a good minder and his opponents have to work hard to get anything off him. But he’s even more difficult to play on because of his attacking qualities. He’s almost like a half-forward playing half-back.
“Teams down here in the state league placed defensive forwards on him throughout the year in a bid to cut him out of the game and curb his run and influence. But they weren’t able to stop him and he enjoyed a stellar season in the competition, winning the statewide league media award and finishing a close runner-up in the official state league award.
“And, he also managed to kick the winning goal for Clarence in the grand final against Glenorchy. The scores were level deep into time-on in the final quarter, when he produced a brilliant individual effort. He ran down from half-back and ducked, weaved and dodged, before launching a long bomb, which sailed through for the match-winning goal.”
Bresnehan also was full of praise for Webberley’s attitude towards the game . . .
“He’s got a great work ethic and he’s super-fit. Not many players would work harder than Jezza,” Bresnehan said.
“And, he’s very likeable as well - a good, down-to-earth, low-key kind of character, who’s happy to listen and take direction.
“I think he’s a good chance to play 100 games of AFL football at Richmond.”

Jeromey Webberley is a confirmed starter for Sunday’s trip to play Adelaide on Sunday after the Richmond squad was trimmed to 22 this afternoon.
The 21-year-old from Clarence in Tasmania will become the seventh player to make his AFL debut in a Tigers jumper this season.
In the first six rounds, Richmond has given opportunities at the highest level to Dustin Martin, David Astbury, Matt Dea, Troy Taylor, Ben Nason and Relton Roberts.
A rebounding half-back with exceptional endurance, Webberley finished runner-up in the Tasmanian State Football League best and fairest award in 2009, and was an emergency for last week’s loss to Geelong.
In other selection news, Ben Cousins has withdrawn from the match with back soreness, joining Troy Simmonds, Matt Dea and Nathan Foley as injury outs.
Richmond made a total of six changes to last week’s side, with Luke McGuane and Mitch Morton omitted, while Graham Polak, Trent Cotchin and Dustin Martin head the list of inclusions.

Our 7th debutant this year :clapping

-
good luck webbers, earn your stripes son :gotigers
-
I think the obvious question should be who in the list hasn't debuted yet ;D
After this week Griffiths & Grimes will be the only players on the senior list who haven't debuted
With no LTIs the rookies just have to wait
-
Good luck Jeromey. Very happy to see him debut. :thumbsup
Next in line Griffiths. :thumbsup
-
Has a bit of mongrel in him young Jezza.
Probably needs another good season fitness wise but he should go ok.
-
Great to see well done and good luck. Morton, he just hasn't been there lately, unfortunate but true.
-
Our 7th debutant this year :clapping
Good luck to him.
Keep them coming.
Looking forward, not back.
-
So how did we all rate Webbs debut?
-
I thought he went good, well poised, thinks about what he is doing, very good skills, goes the ball, overall pretty good first game.
-
Liked his game. Real potential and has a position in this side most definentely.
Martin Astbury Nason and Webberley can be long term players for us. :thumbsup
That's four from the draft of 09 I'm real happy with. :thumbsup
-
Nice kick of the footy and being a tad older is already a good size. One to hold onto in the senior team. :thumbsup

Dont worry tucker, he'll have a quiet day or make a few critical errors due to inexperience sometime in the next few weeks and the usual suspects will bagging the crap out him.

In fact I am pretty sure he is going to have a shocker next week Al, you are 100% right to bring this to my attention; why do we recruit these type of players for, I mean really what are they thinking. Unbelievable!!!!

Yeah, just adds to the long list of no-hopers we drafted last year - Martin, Astbury, Nason, now Webberley. Bloody hell, thats only 4 that have shown a bit in the first 7 rounds of their first year. Sack Cameron, sack Jackson, it's all their fault!!

Astbury kicked two goals in his first game and we were expecting more in the next in his second?? come one guys thats a great start !! and Martin are you serouis he has teh ball all the time just needs a few touch ups after all he is only like what?? 18 ?? and Nason gives so much heart for being a number 30 Pick!!!

I think you need to read that post again

Dont worry tucker, he'll have a quiet day or make a few critical errors due to inexperience sometime in the next few weeks and the usual suspects will bagging the crap out him.
In fact I am pretty sure he is going to have a shocker next week Al, you are 100% right to bring this to my attention; why do we recruit these type of players for, I mean really what are they thinking. Unbelievable!!!!

sheesh webberley nason roberts you would hope they all show something early being sort of mature recruits. to be honest what ive seen id say run of the mill for all of them well two any way i dont think roberts will make it.

Well we had better shoot them all then, before the end of the year too so it's not messy come the draft.. ::)

A valid and often conveniently forgotten point claw.
How much room for improvement they have will come out in time.
-
Roberts deserves one more year on the rookie list. He clearly has the skills. I want to see him with a pre-season under his belt.
-
Is roberts still losing weight? I understand he needed to lose 10-12 kg's when he first got here, still looks quite pudgy for mine, hows his whole weight thing going? I'd be putting him on an incredibly strict diet & fitness regime and give him a time frame of 4-5 kgs by the mid season bye, that will then give him the 2nd half of the season to show us realistically where he's at and what he's capable of.

Add another 10 current players to the Nason, Webberly and Roberts list then, the ones that have been non our list for years, not their first year. Webberly, Nason and Roberts have shown more in thier limited games than regular list cloggers that will not improve anymore in time.

Webberley earning his stripes
richmondfc.com.au
By Mic Cullen 5:05 PM Wed 19 May, 2010
RICHMOND'S Jeromey Webberley is the latest in a long line of Tasmanian Tigers.
Royce Hart might be the most famous, but current CEO Brendon Gale is also a Taswegian, and several of the current team hail from the Apple Isle.
Webberley, who booted a crucial 50m goal for Clarence in the Tasmanian Football League final last year, has now played two matches for the Tigers after being taken at pick 67 in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft.
He says he loves playing for Richmond, but admits that he was given some pretty clear direction from coach Damien Hardwick about what he had to do to get a spot in the team when he arrived at the club.
"My defensive game was letting me down at the start of the year, but that's been a real focus of mine in the VFL and now I've transferred that to AFL," he told richmondfc.com.au. "Defensively my game wasn't up to scratch but I think it's starting to get there.
"That's been my focus for my first couple of games, just to get my defensive stuff right and go from there.
"You can always add your offence to that, because the club already knows you can play offensively, but it's the defence you have to get right first.
"Everyone can charge hard forward, but it's the better players who can run harder back, so that's a real indicator and key for us."
Richmond lost by less than a goal to Hawthorn on the weekend, pushing them right to the wire - unlike in round one in the NAB Cup, when the Hawks smashed the Tigers by 73 points.
The Hawks had several high-profile players returning to the side, along with the debut of Port Adelaide premiership player Shaun Burgoyne, who made his way to Waverley in the off-season.
Webberley said the team knew it was heading in the right direction, irrespective of the number in the 'W' column on the ladder and the result of individual games.
"The young boys were devastated, obviously, but it's a step in the right direction," he said.
"Everyone knows, from the players right up to the coaches, where we're at - very very disappointing, but at least it was a step in the right direction.
"Hopefully we can build on that from last week and hopefully come out with a win against Essendon."
After the initial disappointment, the 21-year-old said there were good signs from the game.
"It was super-encouraging, especially with Buddy (Franklin) and Sam Mitchell and the others coming back in ... To have them in and still push them right to the limit was a huge effort from the boys.
Webberley said time in the VFL was an indicator that everyone at the club, no matter what their standing in the game, would be given the opportunity to play when form dictated, but also that nobody was an automatic selection.
"I think it is earning your stripes - if you look at our team, there are probably some players out who have a lot more ability than some of the others, but because the others have earned their stripes and are doing all the right things, that comes first.
"It's about building a culture, and I think Dimma (Hardwick) has obviously gone about building a culture around the club, and having the right people around the club to make it successful.
"You've got to have the right characters around the club to build on, so that's been a huge focus."

A snippet from Hardwick about Webberley in his EOTT report:
"Jeromey Webberley returned to the line-up after a spell back at Coburg, and immediately had an impact. Jeromey manages to accumulate possessions at will. He had a purple patch during the second quarter, where he just kept racking them up. The thing I like about him is that he gets the ball, and he delivers it efficiently to a teammate. He’s one of the better kicks in our side. Look, he’s still got some parts of his game that we’d like him to improve, but we always know that when he does get the ball, he’s going to hit a teammate further up the field. He’s a player that isn’t flashy, but he does his job, and he does it really well."

That's the way I see it. His decision making for a first year AFL player is terrific. How many kids like this are running around regional comps?

Roaring Tiger's happy return
James Bresnehan
The Mercury
September 11, 2010
A LIMPING Jeromey Webberley had double reason to celebrate at Bellerive Oval yesterday.
The Richmond midfielder's recent hip surgery was a roaring success, and the Tasmanian Tiger was able to hand over a cheque to both of his former Hobart clubs.
Clarence took delivery of a $15,000 AFL transfer fee for its Richmond recruit and gave $3000 of it to Brighton to recognise where the Roos recruited him from.
Webberley met Clarence's elite development squad players and gave them an insight into AFL footy.
"It's pretty weird, isn't it [going from Brighton to Richmond], but it shows that if you work hard and do all right things you can get there," Webberley said.
After playing in Clarence's premiership team last year - in fact winning it with a goal in the dying stages - Webberley played 10 games and kicked two goals in his debut AFL season.
"It's been a blur from the end of last year - to win the grand final and then straight on the plane and over there," he said.
Webberley's aim was to play five senior games for the Tigers this season.
"I'm very happy I got 10 games, which was a pretty good effort, and hopefully next year I can build on it," he said.
"Hopefully we can keep progressing and keep building a better team and hopefully I can be one of the 22 that hopefully tastes that ultimate success at the end of the year."

2011 Richmond Player Countdown - 46 Jeromey Webberley
Number 46 – Jeromey Webberley
Senior List
Height: 182cm
Weight: 75kg
DOB: 12/07/88
Games: 10
Draft & Trade History: Pick 67, 2009 National Draft
Webberley was a surprise performer for the Tigers in 2010. The mature age draftee played in a total of 10 games and showed some solid skills as a back flanker with a damaging right foot kick. The big thing for Jeromey this year is continual improvement as there are plenty of young back flankers at Richmond all fighting for only a few spots on the team.
I have no doubt we will see Jeromey in the yellow and black again this season and with more experience I am hoping we will see him run, carry and generally use his penetrating kick to great effect more often. If he can drift forward and snag a few running goals here and there then this too would be a huge bonus to the side.

-
15 games.
-
He probably needs to end the season higher in the pecking order than oriely i'd guess.
-
14 games for me. Think he will be a foot soldier and not much more.
-
Will be lucky to play as many games as last year.
5-10 for me.
-
10-12 gmaes and that's a maybe
I dont know why but I think he maybe one who goes back a few paces before he moves forward near the end of 2011
-
Webbs had a pretty good game against Hawthorn last night. Coming into his 3rd year of AFL so as a small it's a make or break season after a disappointing 2011.
What are your expectations for Webbs in 2012 and what would be a good year for him?

i actually reckon he has a fair amount of talent and has been under utilised compared to a few others that have got endless opportunities...skys the limit for webbers :shh
-
Will be handy at best. Will be an effective pinch hitter under the sub rule providing a bit of pace and maybe kicking a goal or two. Hark back to the twilight game against the ski chalet mob late in the year. :thumbsup
-
...was honestly pleasantly surprised with the super subs output last night - thought he was a legitimate contributor and looked to have improved his kicking and decision making...bit of pace which never hurts & gave good run...another who will probably be in our best 25 - 30 but not necessarily best 22, that's fine though as we need blokes to push others for spots...
-
Beautiful kick.
-
Good standard VFL player :o
-
When i think of this guy he strikes as a natural footballer with some limitations as opposed to Matt Dea who looks all at sea as a footballer.
Dea is more a rookie type list player and Webs a fringe senior player who might get a game due to injuries to others but then keep his spot due to having the footy smarts to stay in the side.
That is his role this year, the point of the comparision is because i much prefer the webberley type risk of drafting vs Dea. One can play the game the question is whether he can elevate his game to the next level, the other you hope can play taking advantage of his athletic prowess

-
The Mad one is correct on Grigg but saying Tuck shouldn't be in the 22 proves he really is a silly, silly boy.
Tucky just hasn't improved his composure at all and he's still making the same kicking errors. I really don't want to see 2 of Jacko, Tuck and Grigg in the side. I think we must stick with 1 of those and I choose Jacko who really improved in composure and field kicking last year. If Jacko gets injured then Tuck gets the gig
-
I was pleased to see Webberley has put on some size this off-season
He is a reasonable kick but not in our best 26 let alone 22
Back up player at most 10 games if he is lucky and by that I mean we have some injuries

Always like his work, kicking is superb. In 22 after NAB 1 for mine.

True his kicking at times was disappointing but his 1%ers were excellent and his tackles stuck

I think Webs is a pretty decent player. seems to have good skills and some nouse. I think i rate him higher than Grigg also. Grigg does have good size and endurance, though.

Grigg would be a good soccer player.

Happy 24th birthday to Webbs :birthday
If someone drops out tomorrow he might get the late call up as another mid.

8) but McG is back 8)

earlier in the yr he was fairly regularly in the bests at coburg. at the time the likes of jackson nahas and edwards were rreally struggling and i felt his form should have been rewarded with a game or two.
he is a good kick but i scratch my head to find what else he brings to the afl table. can anyone name just one outstanding and redeeming attribute in his game, other than being a good kick which lets face it a player of his type and size has to be at afl level.
to me hes a dime a dozen type that you can find in any state league with the real killer being his size.
in saying that his good coburg form should have been rewarded. he should have been given the chance to firstly show what hes got this yr and secondly to cement a spot in the team.
-
Tucky was a dime a dozen player last year, in fact if he had played this same game this time last year I believe our season would have been different. IF JW is on the list and his form is good at Coburg then he should get a game. Greg Williams wouldn't get a game based on looks and ability on the form sheet, but gee could he play or what!!
If we see enough to draft these players and they perform well at sub AFL then give them a go. In all reality finishing 8th is a waste of time anyway, and at best that is where we will finish, just one more game and in the end, it will mean nothing apart for the long suffering supporters, it is about time we find out what these players have got and what can they bring to the big stage.
I want to finish in top 4, if JW is in our second best 6 players then he will be instrumental in achieving that goal.
Can he grow into an elite player, does he have the skills, do we need him or not, what can he bring to our senior side?
Personally I have some issues with our club's player selection process in that Jackson gets a game week in and week out except for suspension and in reality he is pretty handy for the opposition.
I think there are favourites and players who miss out for one reason or another and others who should be getting a game but miss out due to someone's ego.
End of the day then it is up to our coaches

Agree he deserved games early on, from Rounds 1-6 he should have got a few, especially with how Hackson was playing.
I guess the fact he isn't playing now says our list is getting better depth wise, and with all due respect to him, with his skill levels he would be a depth player at best in the better clubs.

I want to finish in top 4, if JW is in our second best 6 players then he will be instrumental in achieving that goal.
Can he grow into an elite player, does he have the skills, do we need him or not, what can he bring to our senior side?
Personally I have some issues with our club's player selection process in that Jackson gets a game week in and week out except for suspension and in reality he is pretty handy for the opposition.
I think there are favourites and players who miss out for one reason or another and others who should be getting a game but miss out due to someone's ego.
End of the day then it is up to our coaches
agree with that apart from the dime a dozen comment on tuck.
on tuck. theres not a lot of players who get so much inside ball as him definately not a dime a dozen player.
his redeeming attribute has always been his ability to get inside ball and plenty of it.even under wallace he did this well.
it has been other things that has seen him struggle. things like kicking, decision making, defensive pressure.
the silly thing is the way he plays he shouldnt need to kick to often and when he does only within his limitations. do this and a lot of the decision making is fixed. defensively hes worked hard on this and its no longer a real issue. he does have the odd lapse now and then. the need to win contested ball imo has seen tuck come into his own.
i would say in this he has always been VERY GOOD if not elite.
to me in this he has always had a role to play and we have not had others who can do this role.
tuck and foley have always been important cogs in the wheel because of their inside work.

Last chance for Webbs today you'd reckon. A battle between him and mini Maric to keep their spot next week.
-
Is webberely in the side today as well?
-
yep,, it should suit him playing against younger bodies
-
If anybody needed confirmation (again) cannot play at this level
-
Nothing personal but 1 of a dozen players we need to eff off our list.
All the best at VFL level Jerome.
-
Gone at seasons end. Hopefully it all works out for him and he gets a chance somewhere else.
-
Selection mistake IMO. He should have been the sub in any case.
-
He's worse than Kent kingsley

And he blew it big time.
His efforts (and i use that term very loosely) today were nothing short of disgraceful and i hate saying things like this but he should never wear the Richmond jumper again.
That jumper means something to me and others the way Webberly played said it means nothing too him

Whoa whoa WHOA, let's not take things that far
-
Just shows how poor our list depth is. Our top dozen are right up there but our bottom 3rd are a disgrace.

^ couldn't agree more mate - said the exact same thing with the blokes we were watching the game with....couple of passages where he didn't even appear interested/didn't chase/didn't put in had people screaming a the TV "F off Webberley"....simply inexcusable
same size and shape as too many others (small) and with no tricks to step up from lower league to AFL level...
-
Delist.
-
So what do you blokes think of the efforts Houli puts in every week?
-
Delist Webberley. Didn't take up the opportunity given to him
-

I'm starting to question this also. He is slow lacks intensity and is a down hill skier
Compared to Newman though he must stay
Said it before until these 2 are not handed regular games we will continue to be where we are
They are depth players not premiership players

^ compared to Newman??!! I'm hoping that's a misprint/mistype/mistake mate? you could never accuse Newy of lacking intensity and being a down hill skier surely? also he provides leadership (which we surely lack) and is one of our better kicks coming out of the back/through the mid....has put his body on the line for us throughout his career....
