I think this is confirmation that Williams is on the way out unfortunately.

When I think of Matthew Suckling I think of a man who has been played out of position most of the year
and did it with a smile on his face for the benefit of the team.

Amen brother and how good was he back where he belongs

Kept us in the game against Carlton.

Not too surprised as he's had a very good year, but it'll be interesting to see if he continues to be the defender that's pushed to a forward flank or if he manages to hold down his best position over some others.

As always it doesn't really matter as we won't always have so few injuries that it's a problem. Good to have a mature head stick around.

I was a little as I thought he was starting to be week to week proposition with his body. Has had more than his niggles.

I fear another year to Suckling means we lose a 22 year old Williams who I rate.

Hopefully doesn’t make us want to get another’s one like him Issac smith who I really hope we don’t get him but see how it plays

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Great news! Delighted to have that left boot on display for another year. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves in my opinion.

He's played 16 of 20 this year so his body is still holding up fairly well

 

[dergert]

I thought he playes very well up forward earlier in the year
