Williams a chance!

[Matt79]

Just listed on the AFL website that Willo may be a "Surprise selection" for the Swans game this weekend but more likely to return against the Saints.

Also says that Ball trained strongly.

We miss Willo's speed and class, but do we risk him?

[NMWBloods]

Leave him until we're absolutely sure.

I guess it's the same medical staff that decided that Nick Davis was right to play against Essendon too!!

19 seconds in and...POP!!

Surprise selection I don't think so.

He's too valuable to rush back and risk reinjuring it. I'd much prefer them to let him have another week off meaning Moore gets another run this week, because most likely he would be the one to make way when Willo comes back.

I didn't think bodies healed that quickly either.....look at all the problems Jared Crouch had with his. Maybe Willo's break wasn't quite that bad.
I was also surprised at how quickly Nick Riewoldt was brought back from his injury and it didn't seem to affect his play.....I suppose they wouldn't risk Willo unless they were certain that he was OK to play.

I'm not a doc, but I know when I broke my arm, I was in plaster for 6 weeks. I was young, and I thought that younger healed faster. My gut says that a shoulder is more complex and I know he's older than I was at that time, so it seems pretty early to me. But then, I'm amazed that Reiwoldt was back.

Melbourne waited the extra week with Bruce, I say one more.

[Glenn]

Definitely wait one more IMHO, far to valuable player to risk if anything less than 100% and potentially lose him for the rest of the season

I'd wait atleast one more, I dont trust our medical staff

I'm no doc either but I think it depends on the type of break. I broke my collarbone when I was 17 and it had mended in a week.

Give him one more.

He's too important a player to "risk" but I think that we will have to trust the judgement of the experts (the medical staff), despite what happened to Davis.

[punter257]

give him another week off and get him ready for the saints next week.

is playing in the reserves for half a game an option? from what i have read on here its pretty soft, by that i mean no competition
