Past 31. Tom Williamson

[RoyalParade]

Really like the look of this kid

 

[ShanDog]

SOS and co not shy to take the youngest players in a draft when they see what they like.

 

[Jimmae]

Direct replacement for Viojo-Rainbow.

Also appears to have been a Michael C. Jordan special, as DVR was. Hopefully turns out better this time!

 

[BlueWoof_#39]

Don't worry about this guy. With he's fitness and skills, he was definitely recruited to eventually play on the wing. With that kick as well...am I getting ahead of myself by saying a little bit of Isaac smiths about him.

Plenty of upside that's for sure.

Looks a bit like JW - bit of a synth-stare! If you were a comedian on stage, along with JW he's not the type of person you'd like to have staring at you from the front row of the audience!

Welcome Tom, interesting to see on afldraftcentral

Don't like comparison with Billie Smedts - assume that means he's always injured?

 

[TerryWallet]

I know his dad. Gun rover for Ararat. Hard as nails. Evasive skills. They have very similar traits.

Mum must have been a Goal Attack.

Kid's got some good height.

 

[FootyGeek]

After seeing the vids and write ups I think this guy has the biggest chance to give the club the biggest value in relation to draft pick.

If we are going to rise up the ladder we need to land a very good AFL player (or three) from late in the draft. Williamson looks a good chance to me.

 

[Bic]

I see a lot of Brodie Smith in this kid.

 

[HyphensBack]

Bound by Blue! Welcome to the Blues Tom

 

[TheCoach16]

Looks like a baby faced killer !

Welcome Tom, good luck big fella...

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Like the fact that he seems to play the game at top pace. Not a loper. Think this is important to breaking into AFL.

Also looks solid on his right foot. Unusual for a leftie

Clever defender/midfielder from the North Ballarat Rebels who uses his pace to great effect. Added to his currency at the NAB AFL Draft Combine by winning the agility test, coming second in the 3km time trial and also posting top-10 results in the beep and kicking tests, along with the standing and running vertical jumps.

Welcome Tom.

Not exactly shabby test results.
A bottom age, athletic, nice height left-footed, defender/midfielder.

Can't complain.

Testing was very good. Wasn't for DVR

Won the agility test at the draft combine. Great! So did Jordan Mcmahon, Jarrod Oakley-Nicholls, Kane Lucas, Aaron Joseph, Billie Smedts, Clem Smith. Ummm ..

DVR had something like a 14.2 beep test, but yeah the results weren't as good overall.

Not trying to be negative
More devils advocate
Because the question has to be asked

Everyone is wrapped about his athleticism etc

But can he find it and does he have nous?

Great question, Tom is largely an unknown quantity at this stage.

 

[Bluey24]

Welcome to the Club, Tommo!

His combine was amazing - so what are the negatives?

 

[Navara79]

 

[AB_Blue]

Just saw a quick flash of highlights while SOS was taking about him.

If he moves like that in the big league then WOW. Ball drop looks a little 'meh' tho

But he's bloody quick

 

[Red Bull]

Williamson ... you beauty !!

 

[passmark]

Much better athletically, perhaps his left peg isn't as advanced.

Confidence to take the game on and willingness to compete will be the determining factors.

Listen to SOS in the post draft interview when he talks about his kicking. He says they can all kick but when he mentions this kid he really emphasises it.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Direct replacement for Viojo-Rainbow.

Plus size and burst speed.

He's a bit of a rough diamond at this stage, he's got the attributes that you look for but probably lacks a little polish and consistency overall.
He's improved tremendously this year so hopefully that continues on after donning the Navy Blue.
