I did some fact checking....
Willo played in 15 matches back in 2017.
The best and fairest votes for that year display players who got 5 or more votes in any given game. The amount of players who achieve that can vary from 4 to 15 or more and probably average about 9 or so players a game.
How many times from those 15 games did Willo make it in category of 5+ votes? Once.
He was 1 of 9 players who got votes.
....and what about his 2 games in 2019? Did not get a single vote in his 2 appearances.
In round 9, 19 of 22 players got votes, he was one of 3 players who did not.
So he has made it in the 'bests', once at best.
What parallel universe do i have to be in for him to be compared to Simmo who has played 300+ games, or Doc who is current (co)captain, former B+F winner and AA....or even a former premiership player and AA in Christou.
I wish nothing against the kid, but seriously, he has shown 3/5's of F*** all so far....and nothing to warrant the hype he seems to receive on here.
Some players look the part from day 1...Williamson is one of those players...Stocker is another, they just have that intrinsic
quality that they can handle the step up to senior footy better than some other kids and mix it with senior players.
eg Dow and Obrien might have been higher draft pick wise for example but dont give you that same maturity or confidence.
Not sure if he will make it back to regular senior footy given his injuries but he is a serious footballer when fit and gives you that
mix of defense and attack. He is quick for a 190cm player and kicks the ball as well as anyone on the list plus can actually defend a man unlike a lot of our rebound defenders who are purely rebounders only. Sure he has only a small sample of work to go by but I have seen enough to know he has been a big loss IMHO.
