Quote: “But Sullivan says he's rapt to be in the AFL ranks and doesn't mind having to relocate to Perth. "I'm actually looking forward to it. It will be something different for a few years. My family are just rapt; I've talked to just about everyone I know this morning, it's been unbelievable, he said".

Sounds like a switched on kid and a great prospect. I'm sure he'll do well for himself.

Best of luck Will! :thumbsu:

Hes a bit unco like Dean Cox it seems when he first started.

Come on.
Don't be so cynical.
Just because he said a 'few years' does not neccesarily mean hes going to leave our club at the first chance he gets.

This week Perth is playing Peel, so if you have got chance, go watch him and Butler and Scooter play.

I have heard and read nothing but good things about Will and his development as a footballer. Have my fingers crossed that there is a chance that we might get to see him on the 'big stage'.

[wce_all_da_way]

Reflecting on a game I saw Will play a few weeks back I am quite excited that we have him on the rookie list. Won't be ready to replace Seaby as number 2 ruck (not a comment on who's better, just won't be ready) but I think is a massive chance the year after. Hope he keeps improving the way he has been.
