Hopefully he'll do it again after our next premiership.

Otherwise known as "Doing a Mumford"

 

[BloodBath1945]

Sounds like a pretty good pick up. Slot him as the 3rd big defender with rampe and aliir once he's ready. Also need the foot skills with McVeigh leaving. Looks much faster and stronger than melican already. Maybe helps move mills up the ground at times as well?

You guys have got an absolute ripper in Will Gould ... think of a slightly taller Shannon Hurn with a bit more dash but not quite the laser like boot .
Will still has a heap of penetration and accuracy with his kicking and is a true 70 metre player which will be invaluable at the SGC .
No doubt in my mind that he debuts in 2020 and once he does i doubt he drops out unless it is for injury or body management .

Even here Gould sticks out more than most.

Do you think Gould will be able to link up with Reid effectively?

Coming out of the back half via Gould onto the wing with Reid, could be an excellent partnership.

i reckon

can't see Reid on the wing.. Players like Taylor, Stephens, Blakey, Cunningham, McInerny, Foot, Ling, Dawson etc...... would probably get that spot before Reid.
But I could see Reid sharing the wing and half forward spots with a player like Foot, Taylor McInerny, Ling, Stephens.. One tall mobile, the other small and very quick. Create confusion and mis-matches ..

Will living his best life during the lock-down.

Hope he keeps a lid on the home cooking

I'm loving the Will Gould iso videos.

Most players' vids are 'here I am practising my golf swing.'

Gould's are tales of life and death and man's battle versus nature.

Will be saying that about his career one day.

Brilliant! I can just see him shirtfronting one of the bulls.

 

[Wayne Swan]

Love the Wil Gould updates, not surprisingly I liked seeing his Kelpies in action

 

[Corpuscles]

In real life , I am not as optimistic, nor positive, as I tend to be when occasionally posting here BF SSFC .

However, the drama we are all facing is GOOD for Swans.
One game told us we had a reasonable ruck. Not like Grundy but a huge improvement.

We have young recruits who are keen to go, after briefly getting several pay checks/deposits, bigger than their yearly pocket money!

Ours are different.!
Gould is an old fashion pride, proven leader (SA captain!) from a ghost town farm in the backblocks of SE SA

Stephens is a life long, football scholarship person. All he knows. YET. he needs some weight and maturing.

Brady from Mildura will be a 200+game superstar!

This gives MUCH MORE to those types, than it does with glamour boys who have long gone ago, physically matured to be able to dominate junior football. SEE GCS list!
Edit: yes ,I realise you think Gould is there. physically, football wise YES, not socially - impossible but time will help him!

Stay safe everyone! we WILL BEAT this f'kn china virus!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Hopefully he becomes the Swans’ next debutante after Ling.

Gould, Maibaum and Wicks all need a run soon.

 

[robbo1981]

Was coming to see if anyone knows why he wasn't playing? Was ready to go is he injured? Cheers.

Not to mention Foot and Amartey.

Initially it looked like it took a while for Horse to play the kids, since then he's probably been a little bit behind some of the others in the scratch matches. I think he'll get a crack soon.

Fitness might not've been up to scratch either.

 

[TheMase]

I reckon it’ll be his fitness but also likely that he may need to adapt his style slightly to senior footy as he probably won’t be able to use his body to push players around as easily at that level which no doubt he would have done at u18 level.
