Been watching Wills closely.
He certainly can play football.
Good foot skills and gets a lot of the ball.
Can take a mark and has a high leap.
Seems to have a good tank.
Looks a little slow to me and I think needs to get into the packs a little more.
He has 25 disposals to 3/4 time.
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

I agree.

Only thing keeping him from a senior debut this year is a lack of a 4 quarter tank, and an inconsistent use of the ball by foot. Lack of pace and a long pecking order for midfield time may have something to do with it as well...

Also, needs another pre season in the gym.
A little too much puppy fat.
Not a very long kick either.

Start of the final term here at a dimming Victoria Park.

Collingwood by 56 points.

Can we really bury them from here...?

I'm really crap at judging best players, but I've liked the games of Goldsack, Oxley and Wills so far. The Sack in particular looks ready to be dropped straight back into the AFL side if required.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Kelly and Macaffer getting sucked into a barney on the wing sees Ballard all on his own inside their 50, waltzes in and kicks one back for them...

This Campbell Lane is a TAC player playing as 23rd man yeah?

He could be a good prospect once he hits puberty.

Witts has had 42 hitouts so far, I reckon about 8 to advantage.

Also 16 possessions, 10 of those contested.

Taking a few marks though now and has been in a few wrestles.

Colonoscopy gets on the end of a pass from Caff but misses the opening. 1 behind.
