Foxtel Cup Semi-Final: Williamstown vs East Perth

Re: Foxtel Cup Semi-Final: Williamstown vs East Perth

Minson dominant in the ruck that quarter, he watches his opponent in the ruck rather than the ball, he's been penalised a couple of times even when winning the hitout.

Vez has 3 and is applying good defensive pressure

Roughy has dropped a few marks and missed some gettable shots

Stack been good across

Mulligan had his hands full with Smith

DJ some good inside work

Hahn been good across half forward

Libba been a little quiet but has done some nice things

Addison been pretty good through the midfield

Skinner has been quiet but what he's done has been very impressive

Re: Foxtel Cup Semi-Final: Williamstown vs East Perth

Will just dosn't hold his marks. He is playing against a skinny kid. It continues to be his archilles heel unfortunatly, as his endevour has been fantastic.

Tutt, Vesper and Greg Williams oops I meant Libba have been livley. All will be in the side in the coming weeks no doubt.

I saw it written that Zac Clarke from Freo was playing. Is that the skinny kid Will is rucking against.

There main ruckman is ?? Higgins.

When in attack our talls have a definite height & weight advantage.

Re: Foxtel Cup Semi-Final: Williamstown vs East Perth

I do like the clash jumper Willy are wearing, all yellow with a blue sash.

Same here. I also like the contrasting shorts

Re: Foxtel Cup Semi-Final: Williamstown vs East Perth

Will just dominates the clearances at this level.

Vez looked very lively but doesn't look fit enough to step up to AFL level.

Libba's clearance work and hands a highlight.

Impressed with Panos as a backman, seems a very smart footballer

Hahn very good, Howard hardly sighted, Addison has to get a call up.

Re: Foxtel Cup Semi-Final: Williamstown vs East Perth

Just a few things

Minson- dominant at state level as always but really vindicated his non selection as 2nd ruck. Dropped a heap of marks he should have easily taken against smaller opponents. He simply cannot play unless he is the 1st ruck.

Addison- I know he has his limitations but I really want him in our 22. His overhead marking has been fantastic the last 2 games and he just seems a more confident player overall.

Libba- Hands in close are exceptional. He is another player I want in our 22 but do we have too many clearance/stoppage types already? If we can squeeze him in, I really hope we can do it.

Vez- He was great but is it too harsh to say it's his level? He is a state league flat track bully to me at the moment, I hope he can show the same form against better opponents in the VFL.

Where do you see Dylan playing in the senior team?

Is it a case of a boy playing a man's role to why he is struggling to come up every week? Agree that his hands are exceptional, but I don't want to see him getting whacked around by bigger bodies week after week which is what is happening when in Dogs colours.

Defensive forward. I know his agility and speed aren't great but he has great work ethic, a growing ability to get to the ball, tough, strong and as I've said, his over head marking is improving by the week.

He just looks a different man confidence wise at the moment. For a long time he used to go back to Willy and his fans would say he doesn't dominate at the level because he is a stopper etc but now he is really becoming a star performer as a defensive player in the VFL week in, week out.

Agree with that mate. His tank isn't really up to the grind of playing each week too. I said earlier in the year that I would have liked to see him him have a crack at the sub role.

Has he been playing this role for Williamstown? Watched a bit today and he seemd to be playing as an on-ball tagger and was going ok.

I guess his ability to break back into the team and to play in the forwardline might be dependent upon Hooper performing well tomorrow.

TBH I don't mind Reid getting a game ahead of him at the minute. Reid hasn't had much luck in his time and is pretty much playing for his career with us. Libba has time on his side and looks to be a 200 gamer in waiting, but Reid who plays a similiar role deserves to be given a decent run at it.
