He will get slaughtered.....Nick would have 40 plus on him....Wilson is barely VFL standard.

I personally wouldn't do it.
He's more an attacking half back and probably lacking a bit in terms of match fitness following an interupted pre-season

But seriously...."barely VFL standard."

The "barely VFL standard" player had our second most possessions in the VFL last week.
I wouldn't be the least surprise if the "barely VFL standard" player is in the side against Collingwood.
But I'm not sure Daicos is the match-up.
Boyd is barely VFL standard, Wilson is more than VFL, almost ready for AFL. Has the tools, decision making is the issue as far as I can see.

It may not, but Wilson isn't slow. Staying with him wouldn't be the issue

My obvious question: are we going to allow Daicos, Sidebottom, etc, to run around with nobody near them?
I'd be tempted to have Wilson play a negative role on Nick Daicos. But will our match committee use their brains?
Crash, was thinking the exact same thing. Has the pace. Would commit to the task IMO. Left field sort of move so no chance our selectors would go for it.

And Billy would hold Nick accountability through his own ability to get aggott and run forward with it. That's another aspect about such a creative move.

However, we are making an assumption about our conservative, stick with tried & true and safe MC. When they think they're being bold, they're often perplexing... eg Hewett demoted on a wet night, out of form HOK in for a small, quickish forward...
