This isn't a 'my club is better than yours' contest, keep discussion relevant to Zac Williams please

but Williams – from country New South Wales – should be a coveted signature, too. Averaged near-on 24 disposals this year playing mostly across half-back but his star showing as a midfielder against Collingwood in their preliminary final proved his first-class ability.

As an aside, Whitfield has already re-signed.

How on earth will they pay this bloke as well?

A united club that hasn’t won a flag.

Your mob held onto their team after winning 2 flags and brought in 1 of the best young fwds in the game.

Cameron will be getting massive offers from Victorian clubs one of Willaims or Whitfield will get squeezed out.

As much as I really really really want him to stay can see him being the 1 pushed out.

Whitfield did a great job back there (all Australian) covering for him and with Whitters locked away and Jezza obviously the one being chased the most can just see it happening.

Contract year... you would think he would come close to an AA this season?

 

[Arr0w]

Free hit and can play in any arc

Would take him in a heartbeat and will be on every club's wishlist

 

[Donakebab]

Great half back but looked brilliant when given a chance in the midfield. Will get massive offers.

 

[The Nostradamus]

750k x 5 would be reasonable

 

[lionshine]

750k x 5 would be reasonable

850k I reckon. Absolute gun and is somewhat forgotten about in the stacked Giants team with the likes of Conilgio, Kelly and Whitfield getting a lot of the plaudits but Williams is an AA level player. As has already been said will be a target of every club in the league. Could see the Suns throwing huge coin at him. Hawks and Blues will go hard for him too. He seems very loyal though. Being a NSW boy I wouldn't be surprised if he accepted under's to stay with the Giants in his home state and compete for flags. He'll turn down loads of money if he does stay though.

 

[Inveigh Slang]

Could see him at Freo next year on a 800k x 5 year contract

 

[Orange Agent]

Could see him at Freo next year on a 800k x 5 year contract

I can't.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Most likely to leave in my opinion.

 

[Mofra]

Giants have had a helluva cap cleanout in the past two years. They're not spending any money on rucks and not giving big money to high draft picks a la Ahern. They might just find a way to keep him.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good "Gill pays Giants players out of his own salary" narrative Mofra

They've priced themselves out by taking Scully and Patton off our hands. All hail king Clarkson.

We've pretty much openly stated we will have cap space for a big free agent at the end of this year.
Martin, Lyons, Lynch, May, Ah Chee off the books replaced with Ellis, Greenwood, Miles and rookies

Whether we can entice one remains to be seen.
We need half back runners, I'd be throwing cash at the man.

The chance to get his pic taken with the 3 Peat cups, do you think that would get it done?

Possibly, but you should hope your president isn’t involved in the discussions considering his outspoken thoughts on anyone not white.
Then there’s also having to wear brown and yellow.

I know your trying to bait but I would offer him 750k x 5 years would be a great wing replacement for the older Smith and Henderson. But can’t see him leaving
