Delisted #41: Will Hams - Delisted - 28/10

[Lord Nicholson]

Gippsland Power ex pat.

I'll put more details here later.

Others can edify us on this subject, I'm sure.

Welcome to the best club in the world Bertocchi!

Rory Sloane like Player he has been likened to seems like a younger winderlich

Hams is a combative midfielder. He's been likened to Rory Sloane, and even spent an hour on the phone to Rory recently talking footy.

He even looks like Sloane. Heaps.

Poor kid. Is always going to be up against it now due to the somewhat unrealistic Garlett expectations of supporters.

Welcome.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

if he's half as good as Sloane we win.

But then, if he is why not taken earlier?

From Snoop Dog's phantom:

# 7 Carlton
William Hams (Gippsland Power / 177cm / 70kg / ’94)
Bit unherald but a real favourite of mine. Terrific ball winner through the stoppages and has a raking left boot on him. His hands in close are good and doesn’t fear a contest. Only issue I have with him is sometimes its just a bit get it on the foot and roost it. He has the pace to work with to enable him to clear contests and his kicking ability when not under pressure is excellent so I think there is improvement in him and he could be a handy player. If you could clean up some areas like his decision making then thinking Daniel Rich would be appropriate.

Combative midfielder? What does that mean? He doesn't run away? Carries a shiv?

Welcome.

In the mind of half of our supporters, this kid is already on his last chance.

we must really hate Leigh Osborne!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Just do something cultish.

Moose O'Brien wasn't "Not Tory Dickson" for long.

 

[Essendonia]

Will Ham(per)s rising star field with 15 consecutive best-afield performances in his rookie year.

Welcome aboard, Green Eggs.

 

[Loonerty]

Is Hardingham still considered "that guy"?

we must really hate Leigh Osborne!

i mean really, this strikes me as a far bigger deal than stupid garlett. there's a frankston player we don't want. la *?

 

[mayhem20202]

Welcome aboard Wilba, can't wait to see ya pull on the red and black!!! Fantastic young kid from my home town, played senior football at age 15 and is tough as nails. Real hard worker and is exactly the kind of young guy a club can be proud to have on their list.

 

[Tommykins]

If he can pull a woman the class of Rory Sloane's (which I presume the phone call was about) then his footballing ability is largely secondary.

please explain

 

[Phone]

please explain

i mean really, this strikes me as a far bigger deal than stupid garlett. there's a frankston player we don't want. la ****?

i must admit, i would have preferred we stuck with the mature age sorta guy in the PSD, which would have put osborne (and others, obv) into the frame. but i guess after picking dylan v & kommer in the national draft they thought they had enough

Good article about him on sporting pulse.com by Kate Mitchell...


Will Hams Standing Tall

I still remember the first time I met Will Hams, I honestly thought he was someone’s little brother who had tagged along with the big kids. It was at a Gippsland Power home game in 2011. Not very tall, with a slight frame Will had a helmet on to play.
When I realised he was actually going to run out on to the field I became genuinely concerned for his safety. This poor kid was going to get crunched.
But straight away my perceptions were proved wrong. Will may have been little in size but he wasn’t little in courage or ability. I was amazed at his willingness to smash into packs and get amongst it. After working so hard to get the ball his disposal was then spot-on.

"At home he would don his Richmond gear with Matty Knights’ number on the back to kick the footy with older brother Tom."

Howcome?

Not disagreeing; I know absolutely nothing about him, other than him looking like Rory Sloane.
