Past 31. Tom Williamson

[1981]

He's a bit of a rough diamond at this stage, he's got the attributes that you look for but probably lacks a little polish and consistency overall.
He's improved tremendously this year so hopefully that continues on after donning the Navy Blue.

Reminds me a bit of young A. Walker, tucks the ball away n runs, just got to hope he has composure

SOS and co not shy to take the youngest players in a draft when they see what they like.

I think it is safe to say he would be a No1 pick for 2017 if he was born a couple of weeks later

Where have we heard that before?

Anthony Raso?

Anthony Raso?

Not sure it was 1 but they projected he would have gone early.

Harry McKay is the most recent one.

Oh crap, magpie fan. Delist him now.
I like his disposal by foot though, so we'll check him out for couple of years.

Mum must have been a Goal Attack.

Kid's got some good height.

Reckons he might still have a couple cms in him as well. Congrats on the pick, he's a great kid and had the pleasure of doing a few stories on him lately for the local paper up here.

Those are some pretty decent combine results! Love how that article above suggests he has a great work ethic and poised decision making skills which suggests he's not merely just an athlete.

Plus it's always good to convert a Magpies supporter and even more satisfying to turn them into gun players.

Welcome Tom!

I watched a replay of 'the draft' on fox and Mick Ablett suggested that west coast should have used pick 12 on Williamson

Welcome Tom. Wash those pies out of your hair. You've struck it lucky and so have we. Look forward to seeing you streaking (not literally) down the wing and kicking beautifully into the forward line.

Just watched the pre draft wrap and for west coast they said they need Elliot Yeo at both ends of the ground. The solution was Tom Williamson. At the combine Tom broke 1 second for the 5 metre sprint, putting him in the top 4% which will allow him to go on those line breaking runs. Also noted as a prolific ball winner.

Good highlights, looks a strong powerful guy who knows how to run with the ball.

Tested amazingly well at the combine in pretty much every test. Precision ball use. Dedicated/hard worker according to his coach. Leadership qualities. Now you say he is a prolific ball winner (alleviating the one fear I had with his selection as many athletes lack game sense). How the heck did he not go pick 1?

It makes you wonder why he slipped so much...!

Noticed the great man sitting at the end of the Brisbane table on Friday night .
Pretty sure he was there to serve the sandwiches and gatorade ...
