Past #33: Ed Vickers-Willis - delisted at end of 2020 season - won't be offered a new contract - 21 NM games - thanks EVW

[tales129]

Love him!!

 

[Snake_Baker]

Needs to be groomed as Jacobs successor.

 

[Jesslc]

Really should be playing on the midsize forwards this season - lynch from crows type.
Is a vital cog of our backline for the next 8-10 yrs

Can definitely play small too. Dane rampe ceiling

How's he tracking this pre-season? Rewatching the game Vs hawks and he looks so clean and composed beyond his years. Flying under the radar perhaps?

Had his name on the jumper tonight as $250+ donor to Arden St. Great man.

He was extremely good in those first 7 games last year before the injury. Reckon he'll be a key cog in our backline if he can stay fit.

This guy will be All Australian at some stage of his career if he can stay fit.

I don't reckon he has an issue with staying fit, his injury was more of a freak accident that could've been avoided if anything. He was just going hard at it knee first into the goal post, up until then he was going really well.

Once he's back in it he'll know where to place his body on the line, and it should be in a contest. All things to learn in time.

Too true. All of EVW’s injuries were simply a case of bad luck.

2 x PCL’s, one from running into a post
1 x ACL, they can’t really be avoided

It’s not like he has had repeat soft tissue injuries.

He’ll play the vast majority of games this year id imagine

 

[Psychic Roo]

I think he did a shoulder as well?

More like pushed into it. 100 times more dangerous than what Zurhaar did and he copped a fine while Hayward got zilch.

Has picked up where he left off before injury last year. Can see him being a big contributor in the years to come.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Reliable sums him up. I feel pretty comfortable watching the game when the ball is in his hand.

 

[Passmore]

It’s easy to forget the Professor has has only played 14 games. As smart as he is, he’ll have the odd WTF moment.

He’s a keeper.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Was looking like a jet before the injury last season. Will come good

 

[boneofshin]

Looking like an ACL from all reports. Poor kid just can't catch a break.

[roos_fanatic08]

Sad. Hope the recovery goes well.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Gutted for the bloke if it’s as suspected. Feel like it might mean Thompson slides into his role.

 

[Pres]

Shattered. Seriously good player who is brutally unfairly cursed.

 

[Twinkletoes]

This was the biggest downer on an otherwise down day. Hoping it’s a partial tear if it is indeed an ACL. F***!

 

[Billy Not Really]

Just sucks, really sucks. He has what it takes to make it, but injury is killing this blokes career.

 

[shintemaster]

Confirmed ACL.
