Thomas Willday

Details:
Club: Trinity/Perth
DOB: 6 March 1986 Hgt: 196cm Wgt: 82kg
Position: Ruck
Natural Foot: Right

2004 WAFL Stats:
Colts: 14 games, 3 goals, 6.9 PPG
Reserves: 3 games, 2 goals, 8.0 PPG

Strengths: Willday is a skinny, developing ruckman from Perth who spent most of his junior football career playing school footy. He is very athletic and a good tap ruckman.

Willday impressed throughout the season, eventually getting promoted to the Perth Reserves late in the year.

Weaknesses: Doesn't get many possessions at this stage, and needs to put on a lot of weight. Queries over his commitment as it appears he will stay in Perth in 2005 to study.

Footydraft.com comment: Hawks definitely needed a young ruckman to develop and Willday was worth a punt.
