Player Watch Pick #23 (2019) - Dylan Williams

[It Just Is]

I’m so excited for Williams debut. I think partly because I don’t know if he will barely get a touch or kick a bag - really hoping for the later!

Dream time to debut, a week after kicking 6 with your captain describing you as De Goey/Didak/Gray.

I look forward to seeing what he can do at AFL level, and the commentators dissecting his set shot run in to the nth degree.

Dwayne Russell bingo time?

He runs, he hops, he steps, he skips, he kicks a long goal!!! It's crazy stuff, dripping with honey!

Can be crumb?

His highlights are basically mark and kick

The more they dissect it, the more shots on goal he is getting.

I remember when Dylan was drafted a few people were a bit concerned he didn't seem too thrilled to be drafted by Port.

Looking at this video, I think that's just his usual expression. Another case of the many faces of Charles Bronson.

If you look at Caleb Poulter's and Fischer McAsey's photos, it's the same with them.

Wow, Williams probably ls stoked about being selected but he didn't look it.

Watching the Magpies games Williams has shown smarts and talent and usually starts well but fades out of games quickly. Last week was a breakout game for him, his only consistent game I reckon. During the course of Hinkley's tenure others have been told to show strong consistent performances for weeks before getting a look in but selection is not always a fine science. Hope he does well.

Gray, Didak and De Goey?

Grays speed, Didak’s teeth and De Goey’s rap sheet or is he just quiet with bad tats?

Lets hop he gets some set shots to dissect!

 

[Us against the rest]

I am very pleased with his selection.

Let's hope he has a great debut, congrats Dylan.

 

[MrPlow]

Try not to look too excited Dylan!

Hope the comparison to Didak and De Goey was about his talent and not his personality or we’re in trouble

But in all honesty, can’t wait to see what he can do at AFL level

Good thing is this has been going on for years. Looked at his underage highlights a few days ago, and his run-up is identical.

As they say in the classics, 'If it aint broke, dont fix it.'

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Dylan reminds me a bit of Lindsay Thomas. He's taller but has really strong hands for his size, strong through the core and can use his body to shift opponents and doesn't mind a bit of razzle dazzle footwork.

 

[snozulu]

hope he does well.

He doesn’t drop marks so hasn’t had to crumb

Though in all seriousness when the balls on the deck and he gets his hands on it he is very very dangerous. Has that goal sense where if he gets his hands on it, it’s gonna sail through those big sticks. Has strong hips and is very quick to react. Has snapped heaps of goals from non-marks this year.

Having said that he just hasn’t gotten his hands on it as much as you would want.

 

[all seeing eye]

Funny sort of cat, never shows much emotion, hard to get a read on him. Loved the eye roll when Chad mentioned the Captains comparions to Degoey etc, as if the kid needed any more pressure on his debut by raising the expectations. Should be interesting to see how he goes hopefully a couple of goals.

They don't call him schnitzel for nothing








They might not actually call him schnitzel

 

[OneGreatClub]

A like for like replacement for Robbie. No pressure son.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Just re read thread from beginning…now I’m excited

 

[Grave Danger]

Dyls is my buddy for this year, so yeah, well done on being picked as Robbie's replacement - he's a proven matchwinner, so if you get the chance, don't * it up, okay?

 

[robbo1981]

Pressure on the lad alright lol add to that we gifted Brisbane Robertson in favour of Williams .
Not that it's his fault hope he goes well

 

[PJ Power]

A week ago I thought he was miles away from being AFL standard, but I’m now really excited to see what he can bring. The best thing I have heard this week was that he has knuckled down and worked hard on his deficiencies in the past six weeks. If this guy gets super fit and motivated, then he really could be special.

I agree but it's abit disappointing that he has been coasting for 18mths I get covid last yr but still FFS your on a AFL list .

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

Cometh the hour

good luck kid. it's a proud club, give it your best, no one expects a riding star nom. start by aiming to win 50% of your 1 on 1 contests, don't be afraid to go for an open goal

Yep, If Chad Cornes is impressed with is application, so am I.
