Player Watch Tom Wilson (Delisted 2023)

[Anzacday]

Today is his VFL debut @ Victoria Park.
There's big wraps on him and some say we're very fortunate to have him, (pipping Geelong).
I for one am interested to see how he goes and whether Darkyprotector is on the money.
Please keep this thread on topic and only post about his games and training etc.

Looking forward to see how he performs. Been training forward, so I assume that's the role they have in mind for him. At least for the moment.

Good luck young Willo. Hope it is the start of a long successful career in the black and white. Baby steps first and no huge expectations for this year.

 

[Vicky Park]

I hope Tom likes rain. And slippery conditions. And wind. Because that's what he'll get at Vic Park today. Melbourne winter footy, with no roof over.

I'll be watching from the shelter of the Sherrin Stand.

Make it worth sitting in the Rain to Watch him

Anyone know what position they are looking for him to fill? Forward or Back?

I know someone mentioned tall mid but i hope that is incorrect imo we are in need of young KPF talent.

He’s been training as a tall forward iirc

Our VFL social media team just tweeted that he's gone to defence.

Interesting he chose to play in the wet rather than play tonight under the roof

Delist him, quarter time and still nothing on the stat sheet

Moved Well and Nice Leap.

But with how Bad the Weather is and him playing his 1st AFL Game in 6 years. Not a huge shock he did next to nothing.

Be better for the Run

 

[Apex36]

Anyone expecting big things from him in his first run for 6 years was crazy. Happy to watch him develop this year, hopefully he can even get a kick next week

Yeah. Almost a Pre-Season for Wilson.

That why I like going to VFL as you can see these Kids Develop and Improve

Dare I say it maybe we went a tad early on the kid? Maybe my MCG statue call was slightly premature...

Im not sure hes worthy of a statue yet either. Maybe after he gets at least a kick

IMO its strange that after missing so much footy and without a preseason that they are starting him up forward.

Play him behind the ball at half back and ease him into it. Then have him transition to a forwards role at years end over the preseason.
