Prediction Round 12, 2025: Changes vs Geelong

[Nigellathechook]

Once we get a decent amount of i50's per game and we don't need as much mobility he would be a weapon for sure . It's not like he is in delist territory . He can keep his form in the Wafl and keep working on his fitness.

JWilliams is similar in build and stature to Tom Hawkins. Just needs a bit more fitness.

 

[kerrazy]

I said skills wise . He marks he goals .
If you re read my post I did mention he has endurance and pace to work on . At 21 he shouldn't be carrying baby fat . Is he just a plodder fitness wise . He ain't no Matt Priddiss who was fit but his body wasn't built for speed . No one has ever said Jwill has been training the house down .

Gov carried baby fat his entire career. He also wasnt known to be elite in the area of training. That didn't stop him from winning multiple aas and a flag. You're writing him off way too early.

Fair enough, but if he's in this sort of form and can kick goals and Impact games consistently whilst being supposedly "unfit/plodder..."

Imagine what the bloke can do after a solid pre season

He did just dob 4 in the WAFL and was the best performing forward by the length of the Flemington after all.

Man, I love Archer as a prospect but surprised he's straight back onto the field after one nothing WAFL game

Must have nudes of Mini

I get people wanna see jwill in and fair enough he deserves to play (btw it's almost certain he will. 2nd ruck fwd is almost always named on bench and if debut it would have been announced already).

But I love that the club are pumping games into archer, it's what we should be doing as a rebuilding club. 204cm and his athleticism and ability at ground level, he is rightly so a priority..kids are not going to be be consistent, they are gonna have poor form, but the only way you get them to that 50-70 game mark as quick as possible is by persisting.

Same goes for gross, Allan, dewar etc. get em in. Keep em in.

I reckon Williams is trade fodder for Cameron… and therefore you need to starve him enough that he wants to move, and still get games into the bloke that will still be there when he’s gone.

If so, it's a pretty stupid idea tbh.

Jack Williams looks like he'd be valuable to any team. That's not the type you push out, it's the type you try to hold onto.

There's 1 year and 9 months that separates Jack and Archer Reid in age. Anyone would think Willo is 30 and we're putting him out to pasture.

It's Bailey Williams that should be shopped. Blokes been here long enough still without a set role in our team.

Cameron will be 31 next year. Williams is almost 8.5 years younger than Cameron and probably has shown more than what Cameron did at the same age. Could be one of the all time great trade blunders.

Sure hope JW isn't the sacrificial lamb. There are other talls I'd let go before him.

Didn't he play a bit in defence - may have shown attributes not obvious to BF.

No, that was Shanahan.

And today we're trading JWilliams for Cameron and melting about it.

We’re throwing in Hawthorn’s first rounder too. Don’t know what Clarke is playing at.

It's almost like this is an actual forum where people discuss footy and football related content relating to their team.

One bloke threw and opinion out there and a couple have responded. That's it.

FTFY.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Bit of hyperbole there.

Seems like a pretty low stake discussion to me.

If you filtered every single thread from comments of things that haven't happened yet, including the 40 pages of back and forth you have trying to gazump nuffies each week, there'd be 5 threads on this entire board.

I heard Brisbane have cooled on Oscar and are now focused on JWilliams in a trade that could net us Dev and CEY.

 

[THE A5]

people bang on about his athleticism and tank but the only time I’ve seen Jack moving like a truck was last week in the WAFL. That could be the wet or he was carrying a niggle. The kids alright

Who do you want playing for us in a final in 3 years time, Jobe Shanahan or Jack Williams?

Bailey Williams is a great fit for a team with a solid #1 ruckman and an iffy forward line. Would be perfect at the Dees if Max Gawn wasn't 34.

My words have been twisted or interpreted to " some fat bloke who has reached his ceiling cant get a game "
How about lose some weight and hit your ceiling

Kietel was better

Loking at BBW, JW and AR.
BB is the best second ruck/forward.Definitely the least footy nous.
J and A are both very smart footballers.A is bigger and faster and more potential to go back.
J is the best kick at goal,good mark and quite handy against wrestling type rucks.I think he has the best footy brain of the three.Has the worst tank and doesn’t impact for long enough.
.Looking at a Geelong/Richmond hybrid I think we could play all of them in the same side.
We would need more pace in the forward line.
I may be wrong but does JW kick his AFL goals later in games?? Pace off.

JW has the worst tank
JW kicks his goals late in games because the pace is off
