Yep agree, liked what i saw. One concern though when the ball was kicked from wing to half forward line into space, i think was 3rd quarter? he looked very slow chasing after the ball and he was in front at the time but got over run. Not sure how his speed overall tested in the draft?

He’s pretty quick from the numbers -probably burnt out to early due to first game enthusiasm

He clocked one of the fastest 20m times in all pre-season testing.

He's severely underdone endurance wise atm.

Would Will look out of place?

No he wouldn't.
