For me this all stems from our board with there everything is roses attitude.
They have destroyed well over a 100 years of tradition in a blink of an eye.
Amazing to think how much destruction they have achieved in such a short time.
They've gotten away with it because the Crows have been shit for years. Now they are running out of places to hide.
 
This new Williams kid seems pretty good. If you can kick 7 goals out of a team total of just 10 against the best team in the SANFL for many years, then you deserve some interest at the next level. I didn't get to see it but from the comments his forward craft, marking and kicking were better than anyone we played forward all year in the Maggies. If Soldo and Atkins can make the extended squad on the back of OK and bog average performances respectively, surely Williams deserves serious consideration next week. Pre-season he was supposed to have been a standout and his fitness, speed and agility was the best he'd ever had. He's been written off and no wonder he looked disinterested at times.
Hopefully this performance is not a flash in the pan and he can be the highly rated forward he was touted as being when he was drafted afterall.

It's not his talent with the ball in hand but at AFL level he'd be an easy run off for a defender.

I get your concerns but he isn't Robinson Crusoe in that regards. I'm for giving him a chance to prove himself as a Tim Membrey style forward. Dylan is only 2cm shorter and would at least match him for pace and chasing ability I think.
 
If he's delisted another side will pick him up. The talent pool in AFL isn't deep enough for someone like Williams to not be on a list.
No team will pick up Williams.

Mate with the way this ridiculous waste of a season has gone I'd have no issue with him having a stint up forward I just can't see it as working beyond that.

He might actually have a place in the side next year depending on the new game plan. Obviously can't play forward in the current one, as is a defensive liability.
 
Joe Berry made the best players with 15 disposals and one point.

Sounds like Rome Burgoyne had another good outing going by comments here. Made the best player list and had 19 disposals.

Too slow for AFL level.
But hey - we couldn't do any worse, could we
If nothing else it pushes up his trade value.
maybe we are concentrating too much on his leg speed :think: :think: :think: :think:

he could be like Greg "Diesel" Williams who was twice rejected by Carlton as a youngster because he lacked natural leg speed. and there have been other players who haven't had the leg speed that did ok at VFL (AFL) level.

why not give him SPP spot for the rest of the year to see what he can do

at best he will kick about 10 goals in 6 games and drive up his trade value like was mentioned ... at worse the is delisted at the end of the year
