Player Watch Pick #23 (2019) - Dylan Williams

[Ford Fairlane]

Height 185cm
Weight 81kg
Origin Team Oakleigh Chargers, Vic Metro
Birthday July 1, 2001

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A damaging small forward at his best, Williams has all the hallmarks of being a serious player at the elite level if he can build his consistency and up his defensive pressure."

A SPECIAL talent, Williams is a player who burst onto the scene last year as a bottom-ager, lightning up the finals series and finishing the year with 26 goals from 16 games. Due to a combination of injury and form this year, Williams has not been able to rekindle his top form, but a full pre-season at an AFL club and fully recovering from the back stress fractures that ended his year prematurely should rectify that. A first round prospect on talent, he is not expected to fall too far outside the top 10, and will be great value if taken in the second round. He has a high level ceiling that could see him become a really damaging player in the air or on the lead inside 50, with his consistency, versatility and defensive pressure the key areas for Williams to develop going forward.

Wanted him pre-draft at either our second or third. Glad we still got him and gained picks in the meantime. Great to have options now going forward

I liked Sharp more looking at their footage, but he seems like a reasonable pick.

His recent injury history, and that awkward kicking style appear to be the major concerns. Love that we've picked a few guys that are good overhead though, always helps to have players that can mark in the modern game. Would love to get a real gauge on his speed, our number one need is speed so I hope he is a quick player.

Welcome Dylan, hopefully you're pushing for AFL games in no time.

So stoked we picked him up. Never thought he'd be a Port Adelaide player. Has more x-factor and genuine match winning ability than just about any other player this draft. Could be the best value pick of the draft.

Was my number 2 heading into the year, was a few others I'd prefer at the pick but certainly a player I'm getting around early

It tingles my balls a little bit
