Wilson has one AFL attribute and that's straight line pace
Yes. Plus we are a side that lacks pace, Wilson gets 39 touches and he's quick. Is he in, nup. We are 4pts away from being 0-7, give some blokes a go. We have then slowed ourselves up though playing 2 rucks. Rather the extra runner. Do what we did last year. Pitto ruck with relief from Harry. Harry is a much better player when he gets a run around the ground getting his hands on it.

I think the selections are about match ups not necessarily form, I don't think Wilson has the leg speed to do the role Saad might be asked to do.

Saad looked slower than Wilson last week.
I think Saad's a bit below his top speed at the moment.
The only thing I can think of is a specific run with task...but I'm not sure that defensive role is his forte

Saad selection is rubbish.  No form in VFL and has lost a yard in pace, opponents know to push him wide and force a dump kick. The sniffers small forwards will be licking their lips.

And I feel you EB, Williams sh...himself in marking contests and it has cost us games.  Plays across half forward with spells on ball or doesn't play.  His on ball spells have been effective at times.
Cerra going at half rat power still getting games...but lets drop Lord and Hewitt who give 100%.
This smacks of quiet quitting.

He may well have a long career and i expect it to be similar to someone like Houlihan who will constantly be berated for the way he 'looks' when he plays.
There's a difference between someone like The Hyphen or Houlihan who looked laconic but had an impact, even Brad Pearce had moments of what could be best described as appearing to cruise, but they all had an impact and were competitive.

I realise Moir is young, but he needs to find a way to have an impact regardless of how he looks.
