Re: Williams vs Everritt
The only thing that is holding back Everitt is his frame.
He's proving himself already to be a very skilled and talented defender as well as a booming kick. Would provide another viable option other than Gilbee at kick-ins. The repeated kick-out in the second quarter was a debacle that could have and should have been avoided.Comment

Re: Williams vs Everritt
To be frank I think that in terms of form, Everitt is in front of Wight. Cam had a good start to the season and played well toward the end of last year, but going on current form, it has to be said, he's in trouble.
The question to be asked now is, can Everitt hold his feet against bigger, more experienced opponents? At the moment, despite his form, I'm not 100% sure.
If, hypothetically, he were to be selected for this week's game, who would he take?Comment

Re: Williams vs Everritt
I feel Cam has been serviceable this year, although not outstanding. No way is he ready for the ruck yet where he has been thrown a few times, still needs another pre-season to see some more significant improvement, but that doesn't mean he can't do a reasonable job as a third tall defender. He could be a useful option up forward perhaps too imo, just needs more confidence over head.
Everitt will overtake Cam you would think, although I wouldn't downplay Wight's chances of becoming a reasonable footballer in his own right.
In relation to the actual thread question, I agree with GVGjr that both will come under serious consideration this week, certainly as Eade has said Darcy will probably be retained and he won't play '3 ruckmen' so Minson could possibly have another week in the B's. That leaves Williams and Everitt as two with a pretty good chance, considering Ray and perhaps McDougall are the others in line for a recall along with Murphy of course.Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment

Re: Williams vs Everritt
i think williams may get a go this week ahead of everitt. although both are good players and which ever one doesn't get choosen it won't be too long until one of them is.Comment

Re: Williams vs Everritt
I am leaning towards this as well. Williams probably has a better match-ups on the resting ruckman against the Lions. Last time we played them in the pre-season cup Charman caused us all sorts of problems. With Harris otherwise occupied with Brown, Williams appears to be a good option. We could stick with Wight but he is down on form.Bulldog Pride will never die

Re: Williams vs Everritt
Everitt is still young and very lightly framed, whereas Williams has already developed as far as the body goes.

Tom L. Williams

However, as far as football brain goes, Everitt is probaly ahead as he has probably played more games even thou he is 3 years younger. Its very hard to come from a Rugby background to Aussie rules.
Either way, the future for both boys is looking good.FFC: Established 1883

Re: Williams vs Everritt
I feel sorry for Wight in a way as he has been thrown into the ruck alot this season due to Darcy's poor form and has not been allowed to settle in the CHB position. If they want to make him a ruckman, then fair enough he is learning, but we can't then turn around and criticize him for not being a good backman. I think its hard for a player that has played less than 30 games to be thrown around like he has.FFC: Established 1883
