Player Watch Pick #23 (2019) - Dylan Williams

[It Just Is]

He didn't have to defend anyone. His opponent basically flooded back to help Essendon's defence after Ridley went off.

Nothing changed after Ridely went off. They’ve been playing an 18 man flood all year.

 

[PJ Power]

He didn't have to defend anyone. His opponent basically flooded back to help Essendon's defence after Ridley went off.

And yet a couple of key moments, he defended well and won key one-on-one contests.

 

[Lefti93]

Dyl Will played without an opponent for most of the day but that doesn't matter, DBJ hadn't played with opponent for the past 2 years and was stinking it up. He still stands up when it's time to go in a contest. He will make the odd error here and there because he takes on the risky kicks required to break a zone. Should improve with more experience. Can't really see him dropping out of the side now.

I'm much happier with Williams there than DBJ. I just didn't rate his game this week as highly as his previous games despite the stats.

Considering my username change to DylanWilliamsNoncalantHandball

How many characters does chief allow?

Tack an 8 onto the end of that name and you'll really be cooking

I agree - he butchered a few possessions which is uncharacteristic. Not a bad game by any stretch, but not his best, despite more possessions than usual.

 

[Windy Cindy]

i think his best trait is his composure, a couple of times he didnt just blaze away, he waited and used the footy cleverly.

stunning turnaround. hope it continues as he has been a big part of the last 5 weeks.

 

[Chrizzt]

The positives are all there to see - but I still worry his lack of pace will see him leak goals.

Basically, he needs to be absolutely focused and paying attention all game so as to not let his opponent peel off.

 

[Mundusa]

Very impressed with his marking and kicking, but he still has that "moving in slow motion" that players like Jonas and Lycett have.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

And fix up the missing 'h' in DylanWilliamsNoncalantHandball

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Still…

Somehow…

Un…

Defeat…

Ed?

Might be like Melbourne's Bowey was for so long. Brought in during the season, played on all through a winning GF into the following season before tasting defeat. Carn Dylan, you can get us there.

The black boots and the way he moves reminds me a lot of Hamish Hartlett

How has Dylan been going the past few weeks?

Saw that he may have picked up an injury over the weekend - anyone know if it's serious?
If not, how likely is he to keep his spot through the year?

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Was listed on the app an injured in the last few minutes of the game. Haven't heard anything since. I assume whoever does the stats jumped the gun.

Not listed on the injury list. Also has been fantastic.

There's pressure on from below, Jones, Burgoyne, Farrell, but for the moment he's holding his spot. When you've maxxed out his money gain, cash out.

 

[Jeremias]

Thanks for the updates.

It's for a draft league rather than anything salary based. Mid-season draft time so am eyeing him off as a forward.

 

[sog35]

He hobbled off late, sort of a slow jog (slower than his normal pace). Didn’t see the incident, looked like it could have been lower leg as he didn’t grab for a hammy etc.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Couple of people at the ground thought he had cramped.

 

[Jonts]

Thanks for the updates.

Know that as of next year he will be a defender and a defender only

 

[dirty2]

Might need to go back and delete my posts about keeping him in the forward line

Some great work down back

 

[Jeremias]

Not worried about next year - only the rest of this year!

 

[all seeing eye]

Could be a wild card, unexpectly moved forward periodically to do his magic, DBJ, Burton have all gone forward for effect, doesnt mind mixing it up does carr.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Dylan reminds me of a more skilful Cam O'Shea.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Dylan reminds me of a more skilful Cam O'Shea.

He reminds me of a Rolls Royce. I think we should call him Roller.
