and he barracks for Collingwood.

Welcome home Tom!!

Wilson, who barracked for Collingwood, was understood to have an affinity with their skipper Scott Pendlebury, who also crossed over from basketball, and with Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley.
That Wilson is from Melbourne and would not need to relocate also played a part in his decision to choose Collingwood.

Pretty exciting.

If he's a Boomers level point guard, you know he's going to have elite peripheral vision, spatial awareness and a quick first couple of steps.

So it seems they are aiming him to be a tall midfielder. 194cm. It's what position he played previously.

That is Good News.

Though want something Offical from the Club 1st

Wills' papers stamped then?

Just play him!

He probably plays next week in the VFL vs Sandy

 

[atomiser]

Will he be able to play with us this year?

I think next year is when he can start. I think it's more an "in-principle" agreement at the moment.

Played with and against Tommy right at the stage before he chose basketball. He's probably the most talented footballer to sign as a Cat B rookie. He's a bit of a freak. His athleticism is redic in that he is seriously springy and agile. Has great hands and can kick on both feet. If anything he needs to put on some size but he could really be anything. Unlike guys like Cox, Blicavs, etc he really is a natural footballer already.

Found his U-16 Highlight Video on Youtube:

I believe he can't train until the end of the year, so I'd say next season.

Well, that has certainly got my attention, could be a bonus pick up

Going by Jack Nial he be added to the list Straight Away

Without wanting to put any sort of pressure on the kid, saw a bit of the bont in some those clips.

It seems logical, as the attributes necessary to excel as a point guard translate most directly to the midfield.

woo hoo!! Kid looks to have some tricks in his bag.

 

[nahnah]

really happy with this, way more likely to make it than Madgen/Tohill/Keane imo (not that I was against recruiting these players as they are free hits)

 

[pablo disco bar]

Just play him!

Oi that's my line!!!


But I like it

Xx

From the video seems like his handle is 'Willo' - no surprises there.
