Remember that Sutherland also briefly considered a switch to footy a few years back, and trained with the Pies

Parker the sub is what I'm thinking.

Hmm - depends. Does he usually open or just come in down the order?

Did he train with the pies?

I was right in saying Ed would play. We need his running power.
Having a sneaking suspicion Markov will play as well, with IQ to possibly miss through injury.
Parker the sub.
By no means an expert on the sub rule.

Good on the victorian fitness staff to help him through the transition. They knew he was about to switch and put him on a different program than what you would see from a cricketer.
No wonder his first session he looked good, his fitness levels were good. Eased through drills and running pretty easily

Get in his ear Will

That was doing the rounds on the weekend when Rory McIlroy filed for divorce and Scottie Scheffler got arrested. Together they formed an aggregate Tiger.

Haha that’s brilliant. The Scheffler incident was bonkers (sad about the tragedy which preceded it, obviously).

Collingwood will get blamed for covid now.

Antivaxxers are saying Covid and Collingwood don’t exist.

Selections like this are very 1982.

Well his cricket nickname was "Ferret" so likely sub.

This smells like a bitter cricket person who hates we stole one back he will be a much better footballer and he made the right choice

The article says he was a likely second or third not first round draft pick.

ignore that.
He was touted to be a possible late 1st or early second.

Thanks for posting the article.

Plus he never had the chance to shine as a top age player in the TAC Cup. Was always a gun from a young age.

Yeah, never had a full footy pre-season, as kept swapping between footy and cricket. He still hasn't, not even at afl level yet.

Alot have been surprised by this given his short time in the system. I reckon if we saw his 5 games without knowing he had just come into an AFL system there would be little suprise. I have been so impressed with what I have seen from Wil. He seems very composed, doesn't fumble, makes good decisions and kicks well. He also looks to be quite hard at it. Obviously its a very big step up but I defiantly think he has the tools.

Agree
He's slotted into those vfl games without any trouble, last time he played footy was as a 16 year/17 year old, he handled the jump up to VFL easily. And he didn't look out of place at all.

Hope he keeps the number, need someone to write a decent chapter for it. Matty Ryan the only player I can remember who wore it who did it any justice.

Who wore 45 before Carmichael? I can’t even recall.
