Well mate, maybe your poll in the other forum should be changed from Homework to Homie...

But in any case it's your choice on what nic you like and if you like your current one, then just keep it.

North Melbourne and him are obviously not a good fit. Needs a change of atmosphere and a new approach to get the best out of him.

His natural ability is undoubted. His application leaves a lot to be desired.

I wouldn't say no. Could be the icing on the cake.

Must be the name "Daniel" as we picked one up in the top 10 a few years back now, Daniel Wulf, and he never seemed like he wanted to be out there either alot like Wells.

wells was a st kilda player until a poster in the last seconds of a match against the swannies forced a draw.....earned us two points and cost us a priority pick.......but then again we might have gone for salopek.......who we could have got anyway with the pick we traded to port .......

i know west coast tryed very hard to get him to come "home" (funny thing is the kids from SA but mover to perth to play WAFL and get noticed by the drafters) but north were asking too much for him . i dunno some players when they dont have the heart for footy are not worth the risk think all the tallent Brooks had but no ticker for the game North might keep him to trade to the gold coast ???

Alot of the aboriginal players are lazy my own cousin was delisted from Collingwood's list because he was lazy (Chris Egan)
A vey unfair generalisation and a poor judgment of "a lot of" indigenous players...I think................

Where did you come up with that from!? Daniel Wulf was the LAST player taken in that entire draft. With some self belief he would've shown a lot more than he did. Very low on confidence he was.

I always liked Wulf and remember his game in the reserves GF and played a great game, he could play forward or back...

Stuffed up a shot at goal in one match for the Saints and sadly that is what the fans remember him for.

He could play small or tall and could play back or forward, much like Matthew Ferguson...

Both had potential, but patience ran out

Yep, Salopek was interviewed before the draft and by what I think he would have been our first pick, but Carlton was found out to be cheating the system and we secured Goddard.

I don't know why references have been made to the 2004 draft because Wells was selected in the 2002 draft

Wells did win a B&F 2 years ago so consistancy obviously not a problem that year.

Harvey has also been ordinary for NM this year.

Perhaps it has to do with structure/gameplan/selection/team balance. I dont know, I dont watch NM that closely.

Wells is a good player who is out of touch and I think would still demand a good price at the trade table.


Maybe this year?

I much prefer Homie :idea:

When I see every thread in the forum with a new name as the last post in each one, i just simply think Homie's gone and changed his name :wink:

Wells is the 2nd most critisized player in the AFL.

The 1st is Richard Tambling.

I think Wells is just what he is, sporadic. I think he's an icing on the cake player, a bit like Dal Santo.

I still regard Salopek as one of the ones who got away, we could've had him and BJ had we not traded pick 6
