He’s not. He might be our best player but we are not anywhere near as reliant on him as they are on Bont, who is a top 3 player in the comp and their captain.He is as important to us as Bont is for them.
Big challenge becomes huge , if this season is anything to go by we are up for this
We won a prelim with Hodge basically a traffic cone because of illness. Day is important, yes, but we can get it done without him. Let him focus on week 2 of finals.
Will day is our best player. Who is the best player for the dogs. The last time we played Day was instrumental in our win. The fact that the bont is a great player is irrelevant. It's like saying Hodge's importance is no where near as Gary Abletts. You know that statement is not true. It's what Day is to our team. His impact on our wins and his presence makes every other player stand taller
I think u underestimate how good Day is. It's about his impact on the team. Tom Brady comparison only works for lethal no one else bont is great but he is not the goatHodge vs Gary Ablett Jr was a fair bit closer than Will Day vs Bont.
Not sure if you follow American football but it’s like comparing Tom Brady out for the patriots or Ben Rothesberger out for the Steelers. Both their teams best player but Brady was miles miles better than Ben therefore had a significantly greater impact if he was injured vs Ben being out for the Steelers.
Day is fantastic love him - I’m hoping in two years time he can be as good as Bont has been the last 8 years but let’s be serious. He is our best player but him being out is way way way less Mosul than Bont being out. We our system is largely player agnostic - which is why we are still probably 1-2 years away from winning a premiership.
...
Hoping Treloar is out to even it up too
C'mon guys. I hope no one misses through injury for both sides...in particular Treloar who's had enough shit luck with soft tissues over the journey.Well that’s shit news. Hopefully Treloar misses
Will Day is the next BontI think u underestimate how good Day is. It's about his impact on the team. Tom Brady comparison only works for lethal no one else bont is great but he is not the goat
Hodge didn’t play the 2012 preliminary final and we still won..
Day is fantastic - he isn’t hodge 2012 level let alone Bont 2024 level yet. Important cog to our wheel - but we are an extremely healthy list - if we are good enough we should still win
I was about to post the same thing. The team has an opportunity to show that they can cover the loss of who many arguably think is our best player. The reality is you can replace Will Day but I’m confident whomever comes in for him will play his role. We’ll be in this up to our eyeballs.He’s obviously a massive player for us, but IMO Day had been down on form the previous month and somewhat looked hampered, it didn’t seem to slow us down.. the boys can do this without him, I know it. We lose some class and vision but we still have the grunt which is largely where our midfield dominates.
Terrible comparison, not just for the comparison of players but more the comparison of sports. The QB has about 10x the impact on a team than any single AFL player does.Hodge vs Gary Ablett Jr was a fair bit closer than Will Day vs Bont.

Spot on. I thought I had seen this more and more as the season progressed. Mackenzie has improved very nicely this season to my eyes.we will see McKenzie take on more of Days role? He's had a good run of form, but the Doggies are a good outfit and their mids are certainly a class above our recent opponents.
People are worried because a lot of our form changes were attributed to his return and not the game plan changes.Will went down early against Richmond (when we led 19 - 6).
After that we belted the Tigers and next week destroyed the Roos in his absence. Mackenzie stepped up.
The sky isn’t falling in people. We will be fine.
