Restricted Free Agent Bailey Williams

[The Nostradamus]

There’s often a ruck merry go round each year and eagles bailey Williams has hit form in a contract year

Surprised he’s a restricted as opposed to unrestricted free agent

But does a vic club bring him home

Nic Nat is his ruck coach and Williams seems to be learning fast.

Watched him in the pre match warm up with his various hitting zones etc. impressive.

Wce will surely offer a multi year deal.

Came out in an interview and said he did not intend to activate his FA rights and is looking forward to sticking around

Good on him

Never rated him highly but have to admit he had a very good couple of weeks after being dropped to the WAFL
lets hope he can keep it up and get himself a payday

New ruck rule was tailor made for him. Never had the size to compete with the bigger rucks but always had the insane leap.

Hit the ripe old age of 26, which is when rucks usually seem to suddenly come good.

Always a whipping boy for Eagles fans due to having concrete hands(nickname 'cymbals'), missing nearly every set shot and his ruck taps just always went to the same spot, which was straight down the throat of the oppo's best mid.

Showed better marking and goal kicking last year and now that the new ruck rules are in effect, can actually use his leap.

Just needs consistency, as he's had one of massive games before but never gone on with it but he was dominant in the WAFL coming back from injury and he's gone tot he next level these past few weeks.

Him suddenly coming good would solve our ruck issues for a few years.

Thankfully, as Txb said, he's already on record stating his only intention is to re-sign, as he was at the club the entire time it's been shit, so he wants to be there for the good times.

Would hope even if he did leave it would be for a big enough contract that lands band 1 to the Eagles
