Re: Williamstown vs Bendigo

Why - unless you were there and can give us a report?

Getting in the bests as a defender in a 100pt drubbing doesn't tell you much IMO

If anything, it show's he kept his head up and is still having a crack.

Getting in the bests as a defender in 100pt drubbing is beter than bests as forward IMO

Re: Williamstown vs Bendigo

Not sure about that, a defender in such a big win wouldn't normally see enough of the ball to get in the bests.

Will be interesting to see if we can get an eye witness account of what he achieved.

Besides you'd give a pat on the back to any player who showed something after struggling I assume.

I'm don't always trust the VFL bests and generally don't give a player a wrap based on them. If Wight did play well, then good on him.

I'll admit, I am bitter that he continues to get a run in the seniors whilst Boumann languishes in the reserves.

Why? You'd imagine the ball was down Willy's end most of the day so the defenders would most likely be under less pressure than if the ball was coming into the 50 time and time again. I hope he did play well, don't get me wrong - I'd just like more information before giving him a wrap.

You are over thinking it Comrade. All i said was "well done". I didnt say, back to the senior's, 20 pack marks and a dominate performance".

More of a ' you most likely of improved this week, keep it up'.

You're right - sorry for banging on.

Having heard Rocket talk about both the upside and the down side of Bou I conclude that they have put a lot of thought into his development and where he is playing and what he is doing.

If he's not in the firsts it will be for good reasons that Bou knows about; they won't be wasting his time nor frustrating his develeopment. I suspect he's got to tick off a few items with regular performances and by sticking to the rules on and off the field.

So let me get this right. You are disappointed that a listed player is working hard and playing good footy in the Williamstown seniors because you have a man crush on a player who is yet to demonstrate he is willing to do the hard work necessary for success, or is yet to give any real evidence that he has the talent to succeed at AFL level.

With Williams and Everitt's current form, Wight may become very important very soon. I don't care what name the player has or what his history has been. If he is wearing the red, white and blue and is playing good footy, then I am a fan.

No, you're not right.

Where did you get the impression I was disappointed that Wight is playing good football?

Of course I'm happy for him if he had a good game - my mail is he played on Lucas who still kicked 3 out of the 10 Bendigo goals - and I've never doubted his work ethic. What I doubt is his ability to improve and help push my club to a premiership

What it boils down to is that I'm disappointed that Boumann hasn't had an opportunity to play at senior level, (and let's be honest, he is probably battling it out with Wight for a key defensive post), because IMO he has shown more in the 5 practice matches and 4 regular season matches that I have seen in person.

Also, please don't suggest I'm not a fan of a player because I have an opinion that differs from yours.

Re: Williamstown vs Bendigo

No, you're not right..

I may have been guilty of a little over reaction there, particularly the "man crush" line. I know you are a regular Willy watcher and I appreciate your game reviews which are measured and informative. I do think your inference was still a little harsh on Wight, but I also know that all of us who post on WOOF are motivated by a common goal. Go Doggies.

Match Report - via Williamstown homepage

Williamstown travelled to Bendigo on Saturday which saw the top side against the winless bottom side.

Williamstown made 3 changes to the side which had a hard fought 6 point victory away at Frankston the pervious Sunday. Ayce Cordy and Stephen Tiller returned from injury and Ben Jolley from illness to strengthen the Seagulls side. Out of the side went Dylan Addison who was promoted to the Western Bulldogs and Dean Galea and Easton Wood were demoted to the reserves.

First Quarter
Williamstown open the game in a blistering fashion with Ben Davies and Matthew Little kicking early goals. Wayde Skipper was continuing his excellent form and was providing Guy O'Keefe, Brett Johnson, Sam Reid and Ben Jolley with plenty of opportunities. Leroy Jetta was at his explosive best and kicked 3 first quarter goals on Cameron Lockwood and Henry White. Stephen Tiller, Cam Wight and Tim Callan were very constructive up back and Dylan Joyce was again having an impact off the bench.

Williamstown 6.3 Bendigo 3.2

Second Quarter
Matthew Little continued his fine form by kicking his third and fourth goal. Cal Ward kicked a great running goal as the seagulls began to extend their lead. Scott Lucas kicked 2 goals in 5 minutes as the Bombers tried to remain in the contest. Jarrad Grant and Ayce Cordy had fine quarters and Scott Meyer was enjoying his stint in the ruck. Jason Cloke was again a solid contributor and Brendan Stack continued his weekly improvement by using his pace to great effect. At half time Willi established a 45 point lead.

Williamstown 13.6 Bendigo 6.3

Third Quarter
Willi continued to extend their lead, but was off target in the third quarter by adding 6 goals and 8 behinds. Stephen Tiller was enjoying an outstanding game and Cameron Lockwood was again at his best rebounding from defence. Ben Davies and David Stretton continued to link up through the midfield and Chris Egan had quality touches with both hand and foot. Cam Wight continued to blanket Scott Lucas who was not the beneficiary of good ball supply from his midfield.

Williamstown 19.14 Bendigo 9.4

Fourth Quarter
Any thoughts of cruising through the fourth quarter was quickly dispelled when Williamstown kicked 3 goals in the opening 5 minutes of the final quarter. Patrick Rose who had been fairly quite came to life and kicked 2 goals and Chris Egan intercepted an errant Bombers handball to stroll into an open goal. Dylan Joyce, Brett Johnson, Ben Jolley, Guy O'Keefe, Tim Callan and Sam Reid continued to dominate the midfield as the Seagulls cruised to a 101 point victory.

Williamstown 25.17 (167) Bendigo 10.6 (66)

Goal Kickers- Little 6, Rose 2, Egan 2, Grant 2, Reid 2, O'Keefe 2, Cloke 2, Davies 1, Jolley 1, Joyce 1, Ward 1, Stack 1, Stretton 1, Cordy 1.

Best Players- Tiller, Davies, O'Keefe, Callan, Stretton, Wight

Reserves Wrap

Williamstwon continued its unbeaten run by defeating Bendigo by 198 points in a very lopsided contest. Coach Saade Ghazi switched his players continuously which probably shows why there were 16 individual goal kickers amongst the 33 goals scored.
Tom Langlands and Matthew Cravino were outstanding with 42 and 38 touches respectively and Easton Wood responded in a very positive manner after being dropped.

Williamstown 9.8 17.14 26.17 33.23 (221)
Bendigo 0.0 1.4 2.5 3.5 (23)

Goal Kickers: Galea 4, Georgiadis 4, Miller 3, Wood 3, Cartelli 3, Shaw 2, Langlands 2, Boumann 2, Cravino 2, Kelly 2, Rampe 1, Lee 1, Lynch 1, Isbister 1, Roughhead1.

Best Players: Langlands, Cravino, Wood, Georgiadis, Gotch, Grossman

Re: Williamstown vs Bendigo

Stack and O'Keefe cannot be far away........ Stack might be one of those players that will only play in bursts.

Re: Williamstown vs Bendigo

So Tiller was named at CHF but played back and got best, i am a little dissappointed as i looked forward to seeing how he would go at CHF, we lack a strong marking forward and he came as a forward but we play him back.

My only question on our draft picks is why do we pick up forwards because we need them and then turn them into backmen?

With Williams, Everitt and Lake looking like being our main Tall backman why not let Tiller become the forward he was recruited as?

He should have been the 3 year gap filler between Grant coming up in my opinion.
