played 'ok'?... Really?
that was the best i've seen him play for ages. Was very creative in close and laid 10 tackles. If that was him playing 'ok' then his bad games must be diabolical!
pretty sure the Herald Sun rated him our best.
Yep, only ok Willy. To me he showed many good signs but he is a midfielder whose role appears to be extraction from traffic and in that role I would think he needs to get more than 16 disposals over 4 quarters to be rated good. Yes, I agree it was his best effort for a while but imho he will still need to improve a fair bit to be considered one of our better footballers. More pleasing was his tackle count of 9; that says to me he is reaping some benefit from the weight and strength work he is reported to have done over summer, and if that continues into the season then we can sit back and say he is well in our best 22 but we have had a few false dawns with Edwards already so that's why I didn't get overly excited about his game. Happy with it - yes but not over the moon by any stretch.
As for the Hun rating him our best, he only scored 73 DT points and was not mentioned in the best at all in some media reports so I don't think I am alone in thinking only ok.
