Jeez, what more could you have asked from him than what you got today? Time and again, Woewodin did the hard things and won the hard ball. It was the sort of performance he was noted for in the year before winning the Brownlow - less Nathan Buckley than Paul Licuria.understudy wrote:Not overly impressive...
Still very concerned about his lack of pace...
Our leg speed in the midfield is a problem overall, not something to be blamed on one player. Hopefully Shaw, Holland, Johnson, Lokan and Davis will continue to develop and give us a bit more pace around the ground.
Winning a medal can distort perceptions of a player. Woewodin is not in the class of a Buckley or McLeod and never will be (Buckley consistently thrashed him in previous encounters). But he is still a very solid player, capable of dominating games on his day.
Today he went in under enormous pressure and concentrated on nothing more than winning the ball. That takes guts and class. He will be a real asset in the second half of the season.
