VFL 2021 Rd 4: Carlton vs the Footscray

[kruddler]

Whats happened to Willo? Was a lethal left footer who could run all day, it seems after a few years in our system...well you know the story.

Not so sure about lethal left foot. We didn't see too much of him initially, so perhaps the good kicks you remember to give him the title lethal were the exception not the rule.

I've been questioning him for a while and my comparisons to Paul Bower got laughed off.
Now, Bower had some very good attributes, he was CHB in U18 AA side, but he also had some questionable traits that made it hard to love him. This is what i see in Willo. Plenty of run, dash and athleticism, with dodgy decision making/disposal skills.....and neither of them can handball in a conventional manner.

As an 18yo, you love seeing some of those things. As a 20-whatever-yo, you can't put up with them week in week out.
I don't think Willo has gotten any worse, i just don't think he has improved. You need to improve on what you do as a n00b coming into the system....and i don't see that.

Williamson has come back from injury a changed player, poor decision making, foot skills have disappeared and his lack of a right side in his play is more apparent. The reality is he is a delist or rookie case at best and he has lost his position to Parks.
Any comparison with Bower is probably the final nail in Williamson's career with us, Bower was a lunatic with ball in hand, never have I seen a player who could find trouble so easily after being in clear space...

As a junior the left was lethal.

As a junior the left was lethal.

His 2017 season pretty decent IMO.
