Ed Barlow would surely captain that side.

Jed Lamb, Matt Ling, Tim Schmidt and Ryley Stoddart are pushing hard for selection.

Brett Meredith. Dan O'Keefe. Simon Phillips. James Rose.

Depending on your definition of "make it", Jesse White could go in there as well.

I could not believe how long Rose was on our list. He would not have made our list now in the last 5 years. But he just stayed on the list for so long.

Premiership winning Simon Phillips

sad for him. Was rapt when we drafted him, but he turned up out of shape and never recovered. Will play and win many games in SANFL which is probably his level.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

It's a shame he didn't make it, but the right decision to cut him. If he hadn't developed professionalism 4 years in when we've got players like Gulden showing the group whats required, it's likely he would have tried coasting and would have been in and out of the side anyway.

Hope he uses the experience to drive himself further and he gets another shot. Some people just take longer to mature and don't really grasp the opportunity in front of them... and then it's gone.

All the best Will.

Its very difficult to say had he shown more would we be happier if we managed to get something for him in a trade?

Or was it better to just cut him loose.

If his manager was any good then he would have been shopping him around. Either there were no takers or none that Will was happy with, so that was it.

Haha, forgot Veszpremi, Ed Barlow may still be on our rookie list, haven't looked at it in a while.

Gee our first rounders have been putrid!!!

Yeah I suspect there wasn't interest in him.

 

[ShireSwan]

Anyone know what Will is up to? Seemed to be a smashing lad. Hope he's spent his time up here having a blast and has got something good going for the future. SANFL? Was he doing uni part time up here? Sydney Uni would no doubt love to snap him up.

Read somewhere he is back in Adelaide and will play SANFL.

Probably went straight back to the family farm in southeast SA, but would assume he'll end up somewhere in the SANFL (for proximity to family, the farm etc).

Played for Glenelg previously but they just won the flag, so list might be in good shape, and he'd probably go anywhere.

Should be a star in the SANFL.

out of curiosity, I googled salary cap for SANFL. WIll be 210,000 total next season, was 400,00 before covid. Way less than I thought. Average palyer gets 5000. Hope his farm is doing well.

He'll probably get a bit more, but not heaps. State league players not on an AFL list have to have separate jobs. Would assume Will will either do that, study, get a little more time to help out the family farm, and you'd hope that he'd have a bit saved from his last 2 years off the draftee salary.

Will be a 100 goal a season FF if they play him forward.

And A cult figure.
