Can be also said about Bruz, Q, Harry O, Nick Maxwell at start of their careers. I'll wait a couple of seasons b4 making that call.

Does a lot right, just hasn’t quite got his head around the step up in pace and intensity at senior level yet.

Hasn’t even had a preseason yet. He’ll be fine. The fact they are getting games into him they see he has a future. Shows good signs.

He hasn’t played for 3 years had no preseason and some are saying not up to it
Know him and the family personally and the one thing he will do is work his ass off to get better during the off season
Let not pass judgement on him until this time next year at least
He has done an amazing job have gone so well this year with limited preparation

I think the general consensus on here among those saying he’s not quite up to it is precisely because he missed some years and didn’t get a preseason. But he’ll be good after a preseason, no doubt about it.

The fact he debuted without a pre-season shows how highly they rate him.

And/or how injury depleted we've been through the year

He got picked ahead of Markov for the game yesterday. We had all of Markov, Jiath, and Ryan available for most of the season, but (until yesterday) his VFL form was stronger than all of them when he’s been selected. Get calls to play the kids and lambasted when we do.

Each afl game will help him greater in the long term.

Can say same thing for Sidebottom

He joined the Club after Pre-Season so came in with Small Pre-Season
And that's why he has so much upside, steps into an AFL side without any prep after a few VFL games.
He will be a player.....

I actually thought Will did very well in the game yesterday. Did quite a few impressive things, including an effective one on one against Cameron!
Has plenty of courage.
I saw enough to strongly believe he can make it at the level.

No preseason really
Came in at feb and spent 2 months getting in condtioning in and trying to adapt to a game plan. Played some vfl games, then straight into the afl.
I'd say his first year was better than anyone ever would have expected. Don't think anyone would have thought he would debut, less alone playing 4 games in his first 6 months

That 2 Month was Pretty much his Pre-Season and that not as long as others.
IF he can stay Fit and have a Full Pre-Season he might Explode next year

Ive got good hopes for him
He'll work in the off season, and can have a full pre-season. Reckon we'll see him play some decent games next year.
Boo.

Vanilla, no elite traits.
Undersized and no pace..
Only way he makes it if he becomes an elite kick.

I think he has a future but I'm just trying to work out what his position would be. He is a neat kick but clearly not a long one. He is average paced and shortish. Any suggestions?
In what position?
