Player Watch Will Hoskin-Elliott

[Sea fog]

The really tragic day will come when we play without Crisp. That'll be like cooking without food

It has been so long we cannot remember what it is like to be without the uber fit Crisp.

The last time Collingwood played a game of senior footy without Jack Crisp …

… Luke Ball played on the wing and Nick Maxwell was on our list.

And AJ and Keeler were just starting their 2km time trials… amIdoingitrite?

Luke Ball was named on the wing but did he actually play there?

Fasolo was named on the other I’m almost certain he didn’t play there.

I do remember him playing on the wing at the end of his career

 

[Rorzza]

Wilbur, 30 years old, 207 games and counting, CFC premiership player, absolutely a jet!

And they were even beaten by Grundy...fair dinkum

Great performance from Will. Usually is a solid contributor, but was definitely one of our best today. No wonder he’s always been a regular every year, despite people always thinking he’ll be squeezed out.

Genuinely turned the game, and possibly our whole season, around today.

 

[Cyclops]

Drop him.

Versatile, durable and professional.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Vintage performance today. Love seeing him take grabs.

Yep for a guy who often gets accused of going missing or being a front-runner, he turned the game in Carey or Ablett-like fashion today.

Those contested plucks were game-changers. He made Aliir and Esava look like they were conceding 10cm and 30kg, when realistically it was the other way round.

He opened up an avenue forward and we never looked back, just an exceptional performance from the Hyphen when we looked like capitulating completely.

 

[jmac70]

Hit a good patch of form… at the right time

but plenty here quick to forget the low possession, low influence games we had from him for years on end

Thoughts on his game today?

 

[Bianconeri]

That was a good throwback to 17/18

 

[Tippy78]

Cracking game by Will!

If he had more games like that he’d never be on the bigfooty ‘out’ list.

 

[anshell]

Loved his game.He kept us in it when we were really struggling.He might just stay on the forward line permanently after that performance today.

 

[domus]

I so happy for Will. He must be aware of the negative feedback he cops at times. This was a game to remember, one he can watch with his grandson (or granddaughter) on his lap many years from now.

 

[Leigh Lowther]

WHE has always had great finesse and today he demonstrated just that and more. He does have valid criticisms concerning his lack of physicality and disposition to go quiet but when he is on he is such a pleasure to watch.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Where are the haters now ?

 

[Soups]

Will is a good player that does all the 1%ers week in week out. All the players would love him in the team just for that. Hard to see if you’re a nuff watching from your couch.

Glad he had a big game.

Wholeheartedly concur, ultra versatile.
Looked great today

 

[Duck River Pie]

Swiss Army Knife, you can play him anywhere! (Fly)

Agree he's one of those players the coach would pick first each week.
