Good signs.
Need to see it translate to matchday.

Many WillPhil haters were sledging LDU at the same point in his career.
First Season | LDU 7 games @ 10 disposals, WillPhil 16 games @ 9 disposals
Second Season | LDU 14 games @ 15 disposals, Willphil 0 games (glandular fever)
Third Season | LDU 9 games @ 17 disposals, WillPhil 16 games @ 18 disposals
LDU's fourth season he played 20 games @ 22 disposals.
Time will tell, but lets hope Will plays 20 games in 2025 and can get similar numbers to LDU in his fourth year.

Jesus. He plays nothing like LDU. Will's fourth season was 11 games and averaging 14 vs LDU 20 @ 22. Not even close. This is his fifth season.
I can see the future if he makes it. You’ll say “I’m just so glad I was wrong!” I hope you’re ready for if he does because many people on here will happily remind you. Juries out on Will at this point for me. I personally don’t think he will make it, but won’t hassle every thread reminding people he won’t.
I wouldn't judge him on possessions. He can only have so many possessions with the likes of Sheezel, LDU, Mckercher and Wardlaw around him. It won't be his role to be the man they look for.
Said several times if he comes good I'll be stoked! I get quoted and tagged every time he does something okay. There's a bloke on here comparing his development to LDU, FFS!

Unlike the Tigers at least we don’t need to photoshop our players to show their pre season gains.
He’s a better kick inside 50 than LDU …
Probably, 5 kicks a game across his career is not much of a sample size.
He is clearly a better kick inside 50 than LDU

But it doesn’t hold too much relevance with 1.7 inside 50s per game.

If his chances are dependent on who we draft then we may as well have delisted him.
It’s in his control to perform to a level where he’s in our best 22.
Not necessarily. I don't think that mid, if we take one at 2, comes into the middle right off the bat.
I think they'll be given a bit more time like with Colby's path into AFL.
If it's FOS, he could start as a pressure forward with his tackling and aerial abililty or half back/wing.
Langford could play down back or fwd. Lalor can spend time forward. Smillie could play hb/fwd.
But if it's Draper or Smith who are less versatile perhaps, it might spell trouble for Will in some regard.

Never been question marks on who the person Will is.
True.
Didn’t someone see him at chaddy after he’d been drafted and called him arrogant based on nothing more than his clothes and sunnies.

WillPhil will have marked his 2025 calendar to tag Treloar out of the opening match of the season against them Doggies. If there is one side that has the wood on us, it’s this mob. Time to change that with a win. I am sure Daniel will provide the group with all the intel on Beveridge and his game plan etc.
He's a tagger again! **** I love the pre season! Where on earth do you come up with this shit? Tagged for a block of about four games in his career. ****ing spare me.
