Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
Just because Wils never played VFL doesn't mean he never had the ability to do so. He probably just didn't want to move to Hobart as that was the only way to get a game back then. I'm not saying he was the best but he would be right in the mix when talking about the best on baller back then!
Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
Lets agree to disagree. Im not sure that you know enough about the devils program to debate it champ.... i reckon your just going on what you hear up the coast.
BUT i will repeat that Brett Wilson was a very good footballer but not as good as the midfielders in the previous post
Clinton Brown, Matthew Smith and Jason Ling who are all top line players in the state played VFL footy... It was a big commitment from them but they took it on and they can all say 'I had a crack and played VFL'
Dont use the 'I live up the coast' as an Excuse. That only really applied to the last couple of years when the kangaroos came in.
Facts are he was a good player at NTFL level... Unproven at VFL (for whatever excuse you want to make)

You saying that if you play VFL it makes you a superstar? Ben Britton played for gods sake. And dont EVER mention Wilso and Matt Smith in the same sentence agoain. Wilso would eat his face off!

Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
Don't associate me and the Cheese as having the same opinion on anything in football! Not disagreeing with you mate as you do have some valid points. Just in my opinion I'd say Wils used to be up there and that 95% of people that played for the Devils lived in or moved to Hobart.

No worries mate... we will leave it at that.

Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
Boys boys boys, to clarify a few things here, even though it's a darwin website!
For starters, Brett Wilson pound for pound is one of the best players i have ever seen. Dogga Armstrong did chase him early but when Brett showed no interest he didn't persue him, as he did with alot of other players on the coast. Wils from 01-05 was one of the best onballers in the NTFL, i think he could have played VFL if he tried but the facts are he didn't. His courage is unquestionable, but the skill levels of Callinan Beams and Hall were by far much better than Wilsons which is why they have played at much higher levels for a long time. One played in the big one, one played AFL also, and they other has played in two SANFL flags. Comparing Smith and Wilson is also a tough one. Wils has one 5 flags, 3 b&f's and one R/up B&f, rep the NTFL on 2 occassions. Smith has played in 3 Flags, 1 B&F, 1 Runner's up B&F, best on ground in a GF, Best on ground in a rep game, rep the NTFL on 6 occassions and played at a higher level. If you go on stats, Smith is better, because Wilson chose not to that is just bad luck, "could of, should of" didn't! And thats all you can go on!

Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
Not sure about the reserves standard in the NWFA being that bad. When Darryl first went to Cuprona he took a few Preston reserve players with him that were struggling to get a game and to my amazement some of them played seniors with Cuprona in a year where they reasonably competitive !!!!. Havn't heard the rumors of him losing the job at the beach but spoke to a beach player who believes a big following of players are going there with him. Time will tell but I have my doubts many will follow.
Darryl has a good coaching record because he has got two premierships and two wooden spoons. He won two comp best and fairest when he was at preston in a very ordinary reserves comp. I went and watched the grand final again this year and the standard in the reserves is still poor.
I got told that Darryl got the coaching job at Turners Beach they announced it at there dinner and then two days later the pres went to his house and took the job of him because the reserves players at the beach dont like him.

Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
No doubt the Hawks will be up there for sure however their discipline will have to be curtailed as it was when Sheep Smith sorted them out but Yolla will be massive improvers along with Ridgley obviously being up there again especially if Couls is on board as aplayer only and Natone are not to be discounted if their list stays as was.The Dogs will be lucky to win any games next yearrnt u backing the great coaching of chalky moocher

Re: Darwin Football Association Part 2
Comaparing smith and wilson isnt that hard browny. I know who i would rather in my team, bottom line. And it aint your mate wuffy. Stats arent all you can go on, , courage, loyalty & playing for your teammates and the way it affects their game comes into it also. Respect of teammates would have Wilson in front i imagine. Fair call with callinan, beams and hall, absolute guns.
If you are going on any stats you failed to mention wilsons b&fs were in premiership years i believe.

Who you would have in your team is personal preference and everyone is entitiled to their opinion. Your right Wils B&F's were in premiership years, if i had to pick one i couldn't cause i think they were both great in their own right. To say wuffy doesn't have courage mate, your kidding yourself! And loyalty, i believe he stayed at burnie when everyone left in 2005 did he not when horse took over??? As for impact on other players, i don't reckon you have played long enough with him to make that call! Don't go on other people's assumptions, make your own! As for you Kicktospace, i know who you are champ! You keep driving around in your big Red troopy being a woody wanttobe!
