Will was taken as a late draft pick, as a defender. Many questioned his selection and thought we should have rookied him instead. Really did nothing last year. Has kicked a "few" goals this year.
His performances in the NAB Cup and in a couple of games for Sandy have lead to multiple threads extolling his talents.
Time to take a deep breath.
Let's not expect too much from him straight away. He appears to have enormous potential but we need to be patient. The Crows in Adelaide, perhaps on a wet & slippery surface, is a pretty tough assignment on debut.

Yep, judge his game based on how the forward line functions with him and the pressure he puts on the opposition compared to Stanley/Kosi.
I am possibly responsible for the over hype of Will this year. He looks as if the Penny has dropped for him as a mature age player and he is in my opinion the only player in our line up that is playing like someone who is wanting a spot. Stanley and his other young mates all look like they know as if a spot is there and play accordingly. In the nab Will was gut running and fighting for possession more than most of the players on the ground, he will go ok because he is hungry and will make it to contests, something we are lacking up forward. I hope he plays like Aaron Hamill and scares a few crows with his attack on the ball, -well a man can wish anyway.

I don't think scaring the Crows is the competitions greatest challenge.
Puddings mostly (he says acknowledging how f****** horrible it would be to lose to them after saying something so karmically provocative.)
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

yep that has to be the measure - how does his inclusion assist the overall fwd line function?
