Reckon he could be top 6 in the B and F.Wilbur has actually had a decent season.
His transition from Whipping boy to a Premiership Unsung hero has been great to see. Definitely worth another year. Imagine saying that in 2021
And appears to be allergic to the gym!Love Will, always have.
Appears to be a shy person who tends to avoid interviews and the media. Rarely hear him speak. But I’m ok with that, as his footy speaks for him.
Bet his teammates love him too.

But gee I'm glad he's on our list. I love the guy...
Are you saying that the knee hit against Essendon has impacted his ability to play?Been a big detractor of Will's the last couple of years but his form this season justifies one more season for sure
Poor guy just wasn't the same after the knee hit he took against Essendon in 2019 (for which he didn't even get a free for mind you lol).
But this year he's given us a few more flashes of that 2018 form
In 2018, we cleared out the 50 and sprinted back in. Teams didn't rate us so didn't study us hard enough and leave numbers back. Our pacy forwards all looked a million bucks as they had heaps of space and kicked lots of goals with lots of Joe the gooses. Stepho, Will, Thomas and Jordy didn't get close to their goal tallies before or sinceBeen a big detractor of Will's the last couple of years but his form this season justifies one more season for sure

This seems unlikely to me.
I don’t think his knee is holding him back at all.I’m not sure if you’re serious or not
Just like Josh Fraser was never the same after his knee injury in the State of Origin game all those years ago, Will hasn’t been the same since his in 2019
It happens to players a lot? I don’t know whether it’s mental, physical, both or whatever. Sometimes players take a long time mentally to find confidence after serious injuries.
All I know is, prior to that knee injury, Will was flying. Since returning from it, he hasn’t been anywhere near the same level. Until this year when he’s shown glimpses of it.
