There has to be other reasons apart from form on why Willow is not picked.
The last game that he played for the Eagles was woeful. When he was pushed under the ball there was no effort shown by Wilson to get back into the play. He didn't jump at the ball. I think he needs to show hunger for the ball rather than just good form if he wants his place back in the side.

At the moment we have the best offence in the league, which suggests our forward structure is functioning really well. Bringing Wilson may disrupt it (regardless of how he plays, he will influence the whole forward structure).

To be fair, if you look back at that game, the delivery of the ball was slightly woeful and did not give him much of a chance to take a grab.

I dont see how FF's can be expected to dominate games when the delivery is quite poor. Wilsons game against Hawthorn showed that nearly every time he lead, the pass went over his head.... surely thats not his fault?

Good to see someone share the same sentiment with me. I think TW could be more than useful right now, especially when the midfielders are kicking the ball well.

Our forward structure is not functioning all that well IMO. We have got excellent production from up the ground, which is giving us good results, but if the midfield isn't on top we need someone who can take a pack mark or at least crash some packs to keep us in the game. It hasn't hurt us yet, but it will.
