Assuming his numbers are right, he does have a point. He is a Swans great, a member of their Team Of The Century, and a commentator of some repute. You hope he would know.

I think Williams is best suited to running with the ball, if he must play, keep him on the hbf, not bp.
Use his speed and delivery, minimize his need to defend deep 1 on 1.
With Cotters out I don’t think we will win.

My Side is:
FB Newman Weitering Cincotta
HB Boyd McGovern Kemp
C O Hollands Cripps Acres
HF E Hollands McKay Martin
FF Durdin Curnow Owies
R De Koning Walsh Kennedy
Int Cowan Hewett Carroll Williams
Sub Binns
Out Pittonet Cottrell Cerra
In Carroll Williams Binns
Pitto is a test but won't play
Williams is a test and will play

I like your side, GTC.
Williams: I would definitely roll the dice and throw the Fluffy Ducks a curve ball with him taking Cotters role as a high half forward. With his skills by foot you can bet his delivery into the forward line will be good. A defensive role on the lizard, as well, perhaps.
Then give Cowan, Boyd and Cincotta a bit more license to run and carry. Gov and Kemp will do it any way, plus there has been a change in the way Weiters is playing... more involved up the field.

If we get Fog back, the loss of Cotters won’t be critical. If Fog’s not right, the next man up would be Binns. He isn’t far off Cotters in running power but his lack of experience and defensive intensity could be exploited.
Williams does his best work with the ball in hand and has produced moments of brilliance running off halfback. He is vulnerable when one out and closer to goal, particularly early in games when umpires are more likely to pluck frees. If our defence is well set up, Williams isn’t as vulnerable and can hurt the opposition with his run and creativity.
I guess that it boils down to whether we value rebounds from defence over stifling the opposition forwards.

I'm not seeing any suitable opponents from their forward group..

Martin broken down again! Re injured his calf.
Time to put a line thru this bloke or how long did we re sign our SC guru for again?
Year in year out constantly have the comps
