I also expect this is coming now based on his form. Ability to handle the close attention is what separates the top 10 players in the comp from the very good players in the top 30 or so. Jai and Sicily have found the close attention hard to navigate, as have many very good players around the league.His next challenge will be when he gets tagged, soon it will come and it wouldn't surprise me they don't send Jack Graham to him this week!!
Previously it was Jai who was our Kickstarter but Will seems like he is having more influence on the team when he is up and about!!
But from his first game it was clear he was going to be pretty special so the reservations didn't last long.It's funny reading old comments on this thread to see how underwhelmed many of us were to have picked this skinny half back flanker with a high pick.

Why did we pick that player I haven't seen instead of that other player I haven't seen????It's funny reading old comments on this thread to see how underwhelmed many of us were to have picked this skinny half back flanker with a high pick.

That tackle.Would love to see him light it up in front of 80,000+ today and really announce himself.

Also, his 'Neo' moment...Any chance someone in here can make a gif of that tackle he had on Dusty? Tried to fend Will off but got man handled.
How good was it. It was like he put everything into slow motion as he decided where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do.Also, his 'Neo' moment...
That’s a funny way to say 2 yearsWill day will be the best player in the comp in 4 years
Definitely. He has great impact with almost everything he does on field. Even just with his handballing he has this ability to take an evasive step back with the ball to lure opposition towards him and then rip a handball back out to a teammate in the space he created for them.Do we all agree it seems like he has gone to yet another level?
He was already very good but I feel he has finally made the proper jump to being our clear cut best player and week in week out consistent difference maker.
I can't really think of another player that's so defensively sound yet so damaging, he is one of the most complete and well rounded players in the AFL.
The sort of player fans of other clubs start saying "we need a Will Day".
Last year was his break out in terms of playing midfield and playing a full consistently excellent season. This year is his break out in terms of impact on games.Definitely.

And he still has heaps of scope for more improvement. More touches and direct scoreboard impact will elevate him.
He's been creeping forward for some shots on goal this year too, unfortunately not running at a great clip with those. That's his next step - when he takes that step closer to being the best in the league.Last year was his break out in terms of playing midfield and playing a full consistently excellent season.

He's so good overhead, just floats cross or back peddles and reins in some lovely marks. Along with Newcombe we have a midfield thats pretty good with over the head marking.He's been creeping forward for some shots on goal this year too, unfortunately not running at a great clip with those.

Agree that’s the step that can take him into the absolute top bracket.He's been creeping forward for some shots on goal this year too, unfortunately not running at a great clip with those. That's his next step - when he takes that step closer to being the best in the league.
