Re: The GWS Gang - Will They Or Won't They ?? - MilkIt - 05-02-2016
Plowman and Sumner are locks for mine. Best of the GWS bunch. Both missed a hell of a lot of football and most of the preseason so to come into a new team and play solid footy with only a game and a half in the 2s is enough to suggest they'll be players.
Showing signs: Phillips, Lamb
Not convinced: Jaksch, Whiley

Philip sdoing ok and Lamb has been handy in recent weeks and can kick straight..
Agree on Whiley...I'm a fan of Jaksch and reckon we just need to be patient...

Guy needs people to ring in.
We win but good news doesn't pay the bills for cock smokers like Finey.

Finey just comes out with stuff to stir the pot half the time. I wouldn't say Lamb is soft, nor hard, and Sumner hasn't shown anything to suggest he's out of place at AFL level.
He's a Saints supporter and dirty that we're not that far behind them in our rebuild. Once Riewoldt, Montagna, Fisher, Dempster etc. go they'll be in trouble.
For everyone that is saying our ex-GWS players are average, stop-gap, fringe players that aren't up to it need to pull their heads in. They've played less than 6 games in a team that supposedly has the worst list in history and aren't even 22yo yet. I'm not saying we've turned the corner just yet. We scraped home against two terrible sides in two terrible games of footy but to write them off is just ridiculous.
Give me a break.

Just building audience numbers. Robbo was drivelling on there earlier when I was driving home, turned him off.

Whiley has an outside chance but I'm not confident that he, or any of the others, will make 100 games. It will be a bonus if one does.
I think that I got it wrong about Jaksch. He is showing some signs but seems to have a way to go if he is going to make it as an AFL footballer. It will be a bonus if he gets to 100 games.
Plowman looks like he will be a lock as our third tall defender for some time. He can play on taller players and moves well enough to take a small forward. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't play 100 games.
I was wrong about Phillips too. I think that he will develop into a very fine ruckman and should rack up 100 games without any problems. Lamb and Sumner have both shown a bit too and 100 games between them is highly likely.
Whiley's 'outside chance' is looking more remote.
As for Mark Fine's comments, his credibility as a football analyst is right up there with Molly Meldrum, Kate Langbrook and Marina Prior.

Having seen more of us play than Mr. Fine, I can say easily that:
[1] Lamb is not soft. He adds quite a lot more physical pressure than Garlett had for years. He is a more physical player who take overhead marks and puts his body in. The only thing soft about him was his kicking last weekend: it usually is better than that.
[2] Sumner is a kid playing and looking adequate. He did some nice things and also showed some physicality.
Neither of these guys is getting enough of the ball yet, nor are they kicking enough goals yet, but I would not throw them away. Not for a moment.
If he wants to look around for 'soft' players, perhaps he should look a little closer to home.
