Not a good time (player availability wise) to try and make an example of someone....especially given our month of games.Id replace him with Cincotta.....
I reckon Vossy definitely would've highlighted what Williams did wrong, but done so behind closed doors. I doubt we'll see another one of them in a hurry.
Browny was even more scathing than King.Not wrong...its a fair spray...
We need to start striking blokes softly off the ball. The fines are worth it if you can get a few goals out of it.Knowing our luck there would be a crackdown and one of our blokes would be made an example of and get a long holiday...interesting the Henry hit has been deemed low impact , intentional and body contact yet Zac was holding his head?
If he staged then he should be suspended. I would like the AFL to come out and say it was a free kick or he staged.Watched it a few times on video and there appears to be high contact of sorts but ZW also appears to have exaggerated the force of the contact and the umpires ignored it due to the extra mayo he applied.
Williams is not a defender per se', we all know that and Chris Scott exploited it to perfection. Unfortunately, his team mates (in defence) let him down by lack of support. Zac is a creative run and carry HB with good disposal skills, yesterday he was taken to places he just didn't want to go to. He and his team mates will review it and learn. The key to a premiership is a solid, consistant back 6 or 7, whilst we are treading water at the minute, we aren't are premiership threat right now due to the disruption of the defensive unit. Once we get them back and they can regain their cohesion and consistency, then will we see if we are contenders or not.You cant be on 800k a year and turn the ball over like he did vs good teams like Geelong. As was pointed out by "Pinot"his efforts or lack of led to 3-4 goals being scored by Geelong and the attacking value he gives isnt worth his lack of defensive prowess. His disposal is way overrated imho and I wouldnt have him in my best 22 and he is very fortunate we are down on troops with injury and he doesnt have much competition for his spot.
Williams isn't in my best best 22 - doesn't defend anywhere near hard enough. Great when he has the ball running down field, it's the other stuff.Agree he was disappointing yesterday the media have accused him of staging for a free where he appeared to be caught high and then that passage of play produced a important goal for Geelong.
Who's on Dempsey?Acres..
Need to pick him up
Yeah EB I just noticed that too.Maybe S Durdin as sub just in case JW starts feeling that corkie?.....Cincotta seems a perfect replacement for Williams....
Maybe Binns comes in for Fantasia and starts as the sub.....Carroll into the 22? Or maybe Cincotta in for Fantasia and starts as the sub....in case we need some more in the backline.
Voss seemed adamant that Weitering and Williams were right to go.
We need to keep a close eye on Myers. I'd run Cottrell on him and make him accountable. Maybe put Acres on Cameron and make Cameron gut run up and down all day.No Saad is going to make it difficult with Stengle too, maybe Boyd gets the job although I'd like Boyd for Myers.
