Mark Williams??

Just imagine this:

F: Robertson, Neitz, Williams

HF: Davey, Newton, Yze

Williams would be a massive addition to our side. He is in the Russell Robertson mould and kicked 63 goals in 2005. Sure, he had a knee injury this year but if anything that makes him cheaper to get. What if we got pick 14 or 8 for Johnston and on-traded to Hawthorn for Mark Williams??

    His knee is completely stuffed.

    Will most likely never play again.

    He had a knee injury, big deal. People have knee injuries all the time. I would say it's stuffed forever.

    Russell Robertson is in the Russell Robertson mould and kicked 73 goals in 2005... Sure, he had a knee injury this year but...

    I know it's not a Robertson vs Williams debate, but I think it's a case of the 'ol marginal utility - having one is great, but adding a second one isn't quite as good.

    i'm pretty sure hawthorn rate williams more than you guys are letting on..

    Also is a FF in the context, that he has no defensive qualities.

    With Robbo, Neitz, resting ruckman, possibly Green...

    Nah, good player though.

    I was under the impression he was under contract. If not, how would he slip to pick 3? Even with a stuffed knee the tiggies and Carltank would give him a go.

    What sort of price would be on his head? 200k per year? I would rather not pay him that, and save the forwardline spot for a developing newton/dunn/ garland type.

    Besides, we have 3 top 25 picks, one of them could be a forward.

    If the ox did from 3, he is worth a shot

    I think it's imperative that Newton is played at CHF. If we see him as a replacement for Neitz, or a CHF, we cannot protect him in a pocket because with Neitz and Robertson right next to him, he'll never see it.

    He will have no room and he won't develop. You may aswell play him at Sandy.

    Newton has to be given first crack at CHF in 2008.

    His knee issue aside, I'd look at him if I didn't think that he is only capable of playing a lead and mark type role.

    We don't need anymore marking forwards, we need crumbing forwards and forwards who can apply pressure on the opposition when the ball hits the ground.

    He might be small, but much like Robbo, he plays as a tall leading forward. He'll make our forward line too one-dimensional.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
