Past #36: Josh Williams - drafted #36 2016 ND - 2 games/1 goal - delisted end 2018

[DarkPhoenix]

Quite a few cracked it when he was drafted, who is this unheard of speedster from the queensland academy? Why did the club waste this pick blah blah blah.

Went a long way to showing just why the kid had been earmarked by our recruiters so early. Didn't even really see much of his trademark dash yet but he looked very composed.

Thanks Wellsy

Williams and Simkin for some reason reminds me of the build up of Harper and Atley when they were youngsters. While Atley is starting to string together some good footy hope this combo works out better.

Williams is going to be a big strong boy when he fills out. Very tall and big shoulder. Had a decent game, can't wait to see him show his trademark dash

 

[ferball]

Goal with his first kick in footy then went on to get 13 more. Not bad for a late call up.

I had a feeling about him when we drafted him - that he's the sort of player who will do special stuff. So to kick a goal with his first kick (and hopefully set the tone of his career at the same time,) seems kind of what i was expecting.

Great first game from the kid.

A baseball scout would say "a projectable body".

Is Josh one of his illegitimate sons?

 

[5 GB USB]

Did better with what I thought. Tried hard all game just a little lack in awareness throughout the game but that will come. Solid debut

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Looks like Simpkin

The pick we got from adelaide for carey was used to get wellsy, then when wellsy left, the compo pick was used to get JW.

Did we have two J Will's debut yesterday MM?...

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

The interesting thing was he didn't use, or get the opportunity to use, his pace - its was almost like it was a case of ..i'm saving that feature for later in our date....

So technically yes?

Who cracked it about Williams? Are you thinking of Watson?

A few surprised we selected him going by a quick return to page one of this thread.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Natural wingman.

 

[Deddy]

Liked what a saw.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Natural wingman.

Jy and Josh look very similar, although Josh is a bit taller.

Is going to be a player, I am officially leading the Josh Williams bandwagon.

 

[King Corey]

Natural wingman.

Great. Now TT will start hitting him up to come along to Over 28s nights at the Manhattan.

I'm seeing Jy as more of a forward that will eventually move into the midfield like Robbie Gray or Chad Wingard. Josh seems more like one of those players that will keep running and finding the ball that way.

It's important to have a fresh lure on "Grab a Granny" night mate. Experience has taught me that!
