When did we draft a rooster?
SPS doesn't have the skills nor runs on the board to pull off a haircut like that in the actual season.
Bet it's gone before round 1.

Simmo obviously asked him to shave his sideburns.
Daniel Chick?
We have no idea how fit they actually are though, until the season starts and we can see how they stack up in games against fitter, more professional outfits.
If you're referring to how they look, i'll agree it's pretty good considering. Although the bar hasn't been set very high these past few seasons, it must be said.

I think Yeo may need to see a chiropractor.
Yep, Hansen it isI think it’s ethan hansen.
Also Sheed bursting away from Yeo is awesome to see guys
A snake oil salesmen of the medical profession?
I thought that was Stephen Dank
If we have a fit squad he will start behind Shuey, Yeo, Kelly and Sheed in the 'best mid' list. If a couple of Culley, Ginbey and Hewitt (or Trew if pre-season reports are correct) go past him that would put him in 7th spot.
You need a decent ruck who can at least compete as a minimum. Anything else is just gravy
All rucks tend to be slow burns. The lack of oxygen getting up there really shows.
Williams should be good for a goal a game plus some Naitanui like center bounce taps- However around the ground he likely struggles against bigger bodies. I think will be a real pull your hair out type of player who ill have his fair share of clangers but perfect for team balance as the 2nd ruck.
Jamieson is kind of going nowhere. Not big enough, athletic enough and doesn't do much when not in the ruck.
Dank looks like a saint compared to em

Williams to me is projecting like kurt tippet . Ultra athletic but does **** all for the first half of his career . 2nd half ?
Jamo looks to be a tap ruck that will always be the back up until Sydney steal him and he becomes a serviceable number 1 with a gun midfield around him
Would you prefer he gets a medical certificate from his doctor for his workplace injury?
Odd, never thought there's anything special about Jamos ruck taps.
Let's be honest, they're both pretty bad.
Williams has the athletic traits to be something special, and yet he just isn't going up a notch. In fact, he regularly gives those who think he's a spud plenty of ammunition. Like missing from the goal square, or being invisible for long stretches of a game, being no threat in the air whatsoever. With his size and leap he should DOMINATE the undersized WAFL rucks in 2023. No reason why he shouldn't.
Meanwhile Jamieson projects as pretty deadset average ruck to me, but tip of the cap, at least does a lot of follow up and stays in the game more than Williams does IMO. Battles away and keeps cracking in, whilst Bailey sooks and drops his head.
In the end it'll be who can play forward better, and although he's pretty bad at it, Williams is still preferable to Jamieson. They'll be hidden on the bench for large stretches of the game anyway.
Would love playing Jilliams instead, someone who can actually play forward properly, but i doubt he's ready for even chop outs yet.
SPS's haircut looking a bit meh....
Maybe SPS figures he'll get more kicks if he's easier for his team mates to see
