Named as an Emergency again

At 27 yrs (I think??), he should have established himself as a senior player by now. I know he has suffered from injury over his time with us, but the fact is after all these years with us he is still a VFL player.

25, if it matters (he turns 26 late next month)

Looks like the selectors still haven’t figured out that wills is available for selection. Not named in the 26 even though Crocker is.

Team selections not far away E, this could be the week...I know you're itching to get the 33 sewn onto your duffle coat.

Unbelievable, he missed again. Not even an emergency.
No Wills, No Collingwood...

What will he do?
He already looks like he sleeps rough.

Very funny Ricky!! I actually didn't recognize him when he played in the pre-season matches.

Wasn't Wills picked up from VFL team at 22 years?
He is a late developer perhaps?

Post by **RudeBoy** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 2:53 pm

Wills is a very strong and physically imposing midfielder, who is also a good long kick. However, he is rather slow, and what our midfield needs now, more than anything else, is speed. Unless there are some injuries to key mids, I can't see Wills getting a senior game. After all, Sier is a quicker and more skillful version of Wills, and he appears closer to earning a senior berth.

Your wishes have been answered, he is getting his shot.

After averaging 30 in the VFL over the last month he'll rack up 40 possessions against the Scum. Does need a haircut/shave though if his club pic is anything to go by

Every AFL playing in VFL side where they display good form all have an equal
chance for senior selection

Is he following the Goldy facial method

Righto E, time to make the change on your duffle coat to no.33.

Speaking of which, I'd love to see a few of these donated to the club for display in the foyer of the Westpac Centre. A special part of supporter history captured in these.
