Boom! It's like Abbott all over again.
In other news, the player will be s**t. With a name like his, he should have been a French horn player.

I think we'll find out in a few years exactly why all of the draft watchers said this was an especially bad draft... Until then just have fun and support the newbies

Dale Tapping Says: Rupert is a powerful, tall midfielder. He feel like he’s got some really good attributes and is going to learn the game and take a lot out of this year. He’s got really good upside and has some genuine power with the way he plays. He’s quite an exciting player.

Tall mid, fair bit of chunk to him, averaged 17 disposals over 6 games (highest haul was a 23 disposal performance against Casey), at an effectiveness of 67.6%. Averaged 4.83 tackles per game. Had his moments, but I never thought much of his performances, to tell you the truth. If I was going to point to a VFL Pies player who I thought would get a draft pick, I would have though Pendlebury or even Moloney. Obviously Wills has been more of a quiet achiever. They certainly liked what they saw of him...
Last played against Werribee in mid June. Didn't break back into the side after that, which was interesting, considering our VFL midfield was missing guys like Kennedy and Hellier at certain points in that second half of the year. Went back to Old Scotch, I think...?
The moment which immediately comes to mind from watching him was against Werribee (the Abbott 6 goals game), where he stormed through a stoppage deep in our forward line from the knockdown, parted the seas, emerged with the football and thumped it through for a goal. That was nice...
His reviews from each game...
Round 1 vs North Ballarat:
Round 2 vs Essendon:
Round 3 vs Footscray:
Round 5 vs Richmond:
Round 8 vs Casey:
Round 9 vs Werribee:

It has certainly been a theme of this draft that we targeted some big bodied midfield types. Sier and Wills both over 190. Crocker also with some size. Phillips is the smallest but has an AFL frame about him.
Before sen lost the feed Hine was talking about Wills copping a concussion and missing the rest of year, which would explain why he only managed 6 early games.

It's not like the club to not tell us about injuries when they happen.
Also how much better is it when Tapping does the comments. I hope they go back to that this year.
