Player Watch Tom Wilson (Delisted 2023)

[Finnishpie]

I'm a bit of a Reef skeptic. He's got all the tools, but I don't think he knows what he's doing out there. I'd move him to defence for a more straight forward less instictive role than forward or midfield.

I'd be happy with that, fr sure.

 

[Mollythedolly]

I like WHE but we depth at that spot despite some of them not having his running power.

Huge pressure on him this season to play well week in week out (good problem to have)

Not really, already contracted for 2024.

For his spot in the 1’s, not contract wise.

People have been predicting his demise for years yet here we are, he’s still getting selected every week. We’ve got some good kids but I won’t hold my breathe waiting for them to usurp him.

Maybe we can swap him for the VFL Wilson? Would the AFL notice?

The VFL Wilson is as VFL as it gets. Good player at that level, but zero AFL traits.

The nuggety short bloke who is also an average player?

Average even at VFL imo, not bad but not what id call good vfl player. Run of the mill.

Our 2s AFL relevant stock looks pretty bloody thin tbh.

#1 son bid on and won his Anzac Day jumper. Of course, he didn't actually play in the game:

Time to move Tom on at the end of the year. We need the number 12 back

Give it to Steene. That mark reminded me of Banks.

 

[manicpie]

It's time to shed these almost footballers like Wilson, Begg and Kelly and replace them with players who can play KP or at least have a chance to develop into one

Contracted isn't he?

I don't mind having him around another year. Just might be able to play a role maybe perhaps probably not but okay give him a bit more time.

He's only contracted for this year. He's still a Cat. B Rookie and finding a spot for him at the end of the year won't be easy. We'd need to elevate him to the primary list (I doubt they'd want to do that), or at best they might delist him and then pick him up again in the rookie draft, but I think his time is fast running out.

Had every opportunity, and managed a few games, just not quite up to the level it takes to cement a regular spot in the senior team.

Wilson looking to return to the NBL

Ex-Sydney King Tom Wilson hasn’t played professional basketball for over five years following an AFL stint with Collingwood, but he believes the hard yards behind the scenes have put him in a position for another crack.
Wilson knew his time in AFL was coming to an end after suffering a back injury prior to his last season in 2023.

He was on the open market again — and purely on impulse — he decided to attend a Melbourne Tigers training session under the legendary Andrew Gaze.

He knew he’d be rusty, but he thought he’d have another crack at hoops.
Now after a NBL1 stint and training with the Phoenix, United and the Bullets, Wilson is waiting by his phone hopeful of a call-up.

“You only get the chance to be a professional athlete for a short period of time,” Wilson, 27, said.

“To be honest, I think a lot of people were a bit apprehensive about someone that hasn’t played for such a long time, which is totally understandable.

“I think for the most part people have been pleasantly surprised that my skill level is still at a pretty decent standard.

“I feel like I’m in a good head space and physical condition, so I’ve just got to stay ready for when an opportunity presents.
