Will Young effectively retired from AFL

[Damp Squarie]

He played as a defensive forward and kept Harry O'Brien to only a couple possessions for an entire game.

This is my fondest memory of Will; stitching up Hairy Obrien -Goodluck Will

Well in a choice between that and being sent to McGlynn like a lamb to the slaughter, it shouldn't be a hard choice for fondest memory!

Interesting that he plans to take a year off and then come back to Norwood - he'll be 24ish, so certainly not too late to have an AFL career if he gets his body right.

All the best

all the best will

hopefully the year doing nothing will do him good

A disappointing ending to the career of a talented player. Still, he's a pretty rounded individual, having spent a couple of years in America, and now he'll be heading off to London. Best of luck to him in whatever comes next!

Really disappointed for Will...he just did not havy any luck with injuries!

I had the pleasure of meeting Will at season launch this year and he is a ripper bloke, really down to earth and a likeable chap. I can see how he would be popular around the club.

I wish him all the best and hope to see him back on the Crows list or at least in the AFL in the future! He deserves some luck!

EDIT: Hahaha, some funny bits from that podcast!

- Phil Davi$ stitched him up on Kris Kringles by getting him a match payment slip from Ben McGlynn
- Asked if he would go to to watch Port Adelaide play over in London, he said he would rather watch paint dry

I hope that we take another crack at him in a few years when he is back and healthy. I have a feeling that he could become one of those good stories

Thought Crows supporters might be interested , according to a mate that gets to a lot of Vic country football Will Young is apparently back from his overseas sojourn and gunning it up playing up forward for Newlyn in the Central Highlands League [Ballarat surrounds]......would come in handy right now with our lack of genuine KPD's.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Don't remember much of Will aside from having a shocking run with injury at the Crows. Wish him all the best at Newlyn.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Has he still got the TV he won ?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

He was out at Norwood the lad had some talent but seriously shit luck with injuries.
