Past #33: Ed Vickers-Willis - delisted at end of 2020 season - won't be offered a new contract - 21 NM games - thanks EVW

[SammyRoo]

No good

Really ?

Personally I disagree. He wasn't great but he was also far from a problem. Showcased some bravery going back with the flight, as well as his smarts at times. I will say his skills didn't look as polished as I was expecting though.

Yeah I thought was ok, not his best but a pass.

Plus when your playing well enough to earn 17th ladder position .... defenders almost never get a rest the balls coming in so much

 

[Val Keating]

Made a few blues

 

[GreatBradScott]

Every game has been good to solid (tonight more solid.) Sign on the dotted line please.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Not a good game tonight, reminded me of Majak last week, just absolutely nothing hit the way it should have and there were a few efforts in a contest situation that looked half-arsed.

He needs to really put his stamp on his position if he's gonna make it, and he's not playing like he's got that spot 100% since he's come back in.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Uncharacteristically sloppy tonight.

He'll bounce back.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Still not convinced.

 

[tazaa]

How much impact will the injuries have on his versatility.
I know the player he is today isn’t the one we drafted but is he capable of being the lockdown defending, intercept marking and reliable distributor that we thought he would be?

 

[Caracas]

Like most of our team and supporters, the end of the season can’t come quickly enough. If EVW can get through without further injury, that’ll be a big plus.

Poor game from Ed. Very uncharacteristic.

 

[King Corey]

Good to get more exposed form to make a reasoned judgement.

Does read it well coming in and bodies well for size. But lacks a huge amount of athleticism and has poor use.

If we merged him with Shannon Watt we’d get quite a player.

 

[Horizons_00]

He needs a proper run at it

Confident he will be a solid player for us

Goes back with the flight every. Single. Time. Not sure people should be expecting perfection given his complete lack of any preparation or football in 2 years.

I have said before, he should be afraid after the injuries he has had but isn't. I see fully fit players giving less than him. They could take a cue from Ed I think.

 

[The Nostradamus]

He’s just not that good
24 and out of contract if list size culls are deep he’s in trouble

 

[Devington]

Made a couple of blues and wasn't very aggressive with his disposal, but he went back with the flight multiple times and was equal second for intercepts including two intercept marks and a contested mark.

Still solidly supporting us persisting with him.

1000% wrong.

I would bet any sum you care to name that he will be on the list next year.
EVW is a very handy player.

 

[Passmore]

Should get a 1 year deal. Hopefully an uninterrupted pre season, a decent run of games and we’ll get a clear picture. If not, he’s on the second wave of cuts in 2021.

You just find anyone you can to rip on, with no awareness

 

[Snake_Baker]

He got slaughtered by the umps............and his own midfield.

He got slaughtered by the umps............and his own midfield.

To top it off he was giving up 5cm and 11kg. I know Hogan is in ordinary form but that was not a matchup I fancied.

 

[gustev]

Hates getting beaten by his opponent and loves to get across to help his team-mates who are one out.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

EVW has shown enough to be on the list next year.

However depending upon what FA's we pick up e.g Corr and whether we play J Walker forward or back - EVW may not be best 22.

 

[Roosurgence]

This guy is massively overrated. Your classic tweener defender with no tricks.

If we are serious not sure we should be carrying a bloke that will only ever be average at his ceiling.

 

[Ischenko]

He's the academic Firrito

I feel the need to quote this as it's one of the funniest and most accurate things I've ever read on here. Kudos.

 

[Psicosis]

Yeah I don’t see it with him.

I think if Corr comes in next year he’s done.
