Dan Markworth

[Saint wagga]

Wondering if anyone saw Markwortth play in the VFL on the weekend. Looked like he played well in round 1, but not a mention of him anywhere after round 2. I didn't see a review of him in the VFL wrap and he's not on the injury list... hopefully he's tracking alright?? Cheers

Any reasons why Stinger? just found it weird with him & Minchington.

[Saint wagga]

Thanks for that...yeah intersting as to the thinking behind that...hopefully they both string some good form together and start pushing for senior selection soon!

just numbers i think...the more players we have available...the more that will play in the development team....

[dragit]

We have a maximum number of saints allowed in the sandy seniors each week.

Dan & Minch were ordinary in an otherwise strong team performance... Acres gunned it in the dev squad so was promoted, while the other 2 were sent down.

Dan had a decent game in the dev squad from all reports, he wasn't terrible the week before, but looked a little lost... Finished the game quite well.

With a couple of injuries this week I hope he can play seniors again.

Fair enough with the number of Saints players. I really hope Markworth comes on this year, I'm not the only one who rates him..

[stinger]

we all hope that mate...

Thought he was very good in pre season games I saw

But, had a poor game against Frankston R1

Right. 10 or 11 touches in a solid win was pretty disappointing. Not really surprising he was dropped, but a couple of injuries to the AFL side should find him a spot this week. Holmes down to the 3s and maybe Minch stays down.

Just struggled to get into the game. Looked good when he had the footy, used it pretty well, but went missing for large parts of the game.

Needs to get to more contests, and be able to have an impact on the game even if he's not having a good day. It will come with time - he's missed a lot of footy and takes time.

I have a scary feeling he might become one of those mid-sized forwards that doesnt really have a position at AFL level. Has to focus on running through the midfield, or being a rebounding defender, or he'll start getting into Siposs territory....

[dragit]

What he has over Siposs is pace and natural endurance.

Ideally play wing or high leading forward.

I'm not sure "high leading forward" is a position any more. Ryan O'Keefe did it for a few years but he plays midfield now. Our high leading forwards at the moment are Riewoldt and Stanley - not sure a guy of Markworth's size fits the mould.

Riewoldt and Maister/Lee are our 'target' forwards... Someone like Markworth would be making leads further up the ground...
Unfortunately Riewoldt has to do it all at the moment as we are short on other decent forwards.

[gringo]

I'm pretty sure Webster was in the development squad last year or could have been the year before. I wouldn't worry too much. I think he will have to find a position as a rebounder where he can exploit his pace long term.

+1.

[BigMart]

Webster played in the Dev team in 2012... For a few games early before injury.

Daniel isn't great overhead, and will likely be a wingman type, or flanker.... Fairly outside, likes to run and take the game on.

Has pace, and some attributes but a some footy smarts to learn

So did Sam Crocker, Jay Lever and Jordan Staley - let's not pretend it's a good sign.

[BigMart]

Not such a bad sign in first few games...

Not so good in your second season.

Markworth is in his third season. Presumably that's an even worse sign.

[PJ]

You suspect Dan is falling into the neither here nor there group of players.

Sipposs, Dunnell, Markworth, Shenton, Minchington.

I wish him all the best it's going to be up hill from here.

It's his second year playing football unless you count an entire year missed through injury.
3 games ago he was BOG in a final for Sandringham.
Dev squad isn't great, but I wouldn't be getting too excited about it yet, he's still building confidence after a knee… let's give him this year to show something.

I 'd like to think he's got more upside than the others you've mentioned. Two years ago he was named as an emergency a number of times.

Thank you Mr Common Sense

[BigMart]

Not a problem for Daniel (although he is 22? I believe)

More so for White I was thinking
