    Did Skinner not play?
    Yep he played. Didn't have a great game. I wonder if he has ever played in mud like that before?

        I was thinking the same thing, those conditions would've been so foreign for him. Having said that, he was far from the Seagulls worst - he competed well at times and should've had a goal.

            I think it is a concern but he has battled injuries early in the season and has missed a few games.

            Skinner played, a couple of spectacular things with his marking attempts but the conditions didn't suit him.

                Hooper. I thought the conditions would have suited him.
                Redpath looked a bit lost.
                Fletcher Roberts has bulked up hasn't he? Check out his photo in the Bulldogs magazine compared to now. Glad to have him.
                Jin Long - I'm not sure if it was because it was so wet, but he kicked into the man on the mark and generally couldn\t get his kicking right. Hard day to judge his performance and is certainly willing.

                    I've said it before but Redpath looks like a big lumbering ruckman resting forward, except of course he isn't primary a ruckman, he is meant to actually be a key forward.

                        Read a spot in the local paper that Williamstown play Coburg ( on the weekend of 22 23 May)
                        At the Whitten Oval. Not surprisingly Free entry

                            Willy were bloody awful. As someone posted earlier - was men against boys and they were never in the hunt.

                            I can't claim to be a regular Willy watcher - but what I've seen of Skinner (just the odd game on TV) - he looks miles off being an AFL player. The wet obviously didn't suit him - so its not based on Saturday - but I'd be staggered if he was ever a regular player.

                            I would be suprised if Talia didn't make it though - he looks a smart player to me.

                            I'm looking forward to a fit Tutt getting back in the AFL side....think he is actually more suited to AFL than VFL.

                                Was thinking the same this morning regarding Tutt, he missed a bit of preseason so will need some continuity of football before getting a shot a AFL level. But would like to see him playing for the dogs soon.

                                    He looked even slower than usual, which I wasn't sure was possible.

                                        I've only seen a little bit of Williamstown, but I'm not really convinced on Talia yet like a few are.

                                            He looks a fairly solid defender but I'm not sure he's got much else. Best case might be a solid Prestigiacomo type.

                                                Looks like a natural defender to me and generally reads the play well. Liking the fact the club have Roberts and Talia manning key positions in defence for Willy, think these two can form a long term duo for the footy club if given a chance. Certainly a lot to work with in regards to development.


                                                Have no problem if he were to end up as a Prestigiacomo type.

                                                    If he ends up that good I'd be over the moon.
