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

[Bigeasy]

Mcmillan is your Malcolm in the middle type player, he was quite good and solid during scott's era but the game has moved beyond him.

Huh? Maybe the game is beyond you.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Can we get a title correction for this one too please mods?

Eddie is back on deck!

Most important player to come back. Moreso than Maj, BJ, Wil, Luke.

Done (without mentioning how big his deck is).

Is it just me or is he getting more and more rugged/handsome?

It's not often you come across people that are smart and good looking. Good genetics I guess.

Sorry, pretty busy, don't have time to engage with two of the board's poorer posters.

Say what you must about me but don't attack KC!

Surprise surprise, MHSOB brings bank balances into it.

It would have worked on the Will Walker thread. Who went there.

Another day of low grade moderation on this board.

I would argue BJ is still more important. But yeah, I see what you're saying.

I'd rather his genetics helped him play more than 5 games of footy in a row.

Especially with who you quoted to try and drag me into a petty squabble,

I have risen above it, like EVW in a pack to take the intercept mark.

Not sure what any of that is about mate. Sounds like you visualise yourself as an online version of a virtual EVW who takes leaping grabs.

Back on sub-topic, I'll assume you're neither good-looking nor smart then.

Because l see him as our best bet filling Scooters boots.

 

[andana]

He and Taz are our best kicks in the backline.

 

[Kimbo]

I would argue a BJ is still more important.

Inarguable really.

But, on topic, I'm looking forward to starting the Jacobs Jalopy up again.

And, I'm also keen to see the Ed V-Dub back on field again too.

So having somebody fall across a knee, and then sliding into a goalpost are genetic faults?

Tough crowd.

Often enough when I see one every morning when while having a shave

i gather you're shaving your face ?

There is only so much you can put down to bad luck. Sliding into goal posts happens to many players. Not everyone misses the rest of the season.
I hope I am wrong of course, but I just can't see him lasting a full season at AFL level.

Hasn't he also had a PCL and a shoulder reconstruction? Contact injuries are unlucky but genetics play a part in those as well. Look at Atley he'll be playing game 200 in round three this year, only missed one game from injury (I think he was dropped for a few in 2015?) since 2011 and that was when Jack Darling fell across his knee this year. Jack Darling falls across Ed's knee and he might miss a season.
