Player Watch Will Hoskin-Elliott

[whiskeytown]

Will play next week I reckon. Theories that the faster ball movement will help his consistency of output have merit… but I’m not convinced

With his skill set…Needs to average 18-20 touches and 0.75- 1 goal a game to be worth persisting with

Otherwise just play youth instead

In what role?

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

In what role?

The replace Bianco role.

 

[Rorzza]

Wilbur was all class in the wet yesterday!

 

[domus]

Wilbur was all class in the wet yesterday!

Yes. His best game in a long time.

 

[adammania9]

It’s when he hits the scoreboard that turns poor or average games into good ones. He was outstanding yesterday

 

[whiskeytown]

I’m not a fan… but credit where it’s due, he’s been better in recent weeks

It’s essential that he hits the scoreboard… otherwise his 13 touches a week on their own don’t cut it

He's playing low possession roles well. Things happen when WHE gets the footy - no danger of getting dropped.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Yes. His best game in a long time.

Nah, he’s been really consistent all year. People just feel a need to downplay his contribution more often than not.

Nah. People are just fickle. Has kicked goals in all but 3 games this year. Only difference yesterday was he didn’t appear to venture as far out of F50.

 

[domus]

Disagree. I think his occasional goal was camouflaging some very insipid games. I want him to succeed and have no agenda. He was involved and up and about in a way he hasn't been in recent weeks. If I wanted to downplay his past efforts why would I suddenly change my tune? I could continue to say the same thing.

Happy for you to disagree. My comment on downplaying his contribution was a general observation, not aimed at anyone specifically, just the routine hyperbole.

 

[hellfire]

Cracking game from him yesterday, I thought. He is having a good patch.

Looked Better up Forward then on the Wing

 

[sr36]

Looked Better up Forward then on the Wing

I've always thought that. He's always pretty low in terms of possession, but he makes them pay when he gets his hands on the footy in the front half. I do think he could play defence though.

Yeah I doubt could shut a Player Down.

Also is a Reliable Shot for Goal

Also is a Reliable Shot for Goal

With Elliott, WHE and Ginnivan we've got a few who are deadly kicks for goal. If Brodie and Henry can gain consistency, we'll be one of the most accurate teams for the first time that I can remember.

Cameron seems like a dead eye, he seems to take his opportunities most weeks.

Yeah he does. Not sure if he'll maintain it though, as his misses are really horrible shanks.

Also Mccreery is arguably the best kick in our forward line. He just doesn5 get enough of it. Cameron too has a good reliable set shot technique.

Edit… oops Cameron has already been mentioned

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Nah, he’s been really consistent all year. People just feel a need to downplay his contribution more often than not.

All WHE did differently was kick two goals instead of one. He has been consistently good all year and right on most of his career averages.

. Today was the last straw. He soccers the ball instead of trying to possess it because he's afraid of contact. He kicked the ball out on the full twice because he flinched at pressure. In the last quarter, with the game on the line, he half arses a marking contest attempting a chest mark, lets his opponent mark the ball and walk it out of defence. It's time he spends some time in the VFL.

How he hasn't been dropped once in the last 3 years is completely beyond me. He is dead wood and quite honestly he has to know he's fighting for his career this season. Show him the door.

Very overrated player. Get one good game from him every 6 weeks…

Yep I’m done. Was done a while ago truth be told but today just made me angry!
