It's got to be Williams or Sinclair filling MacCaffers absence.

Both have their arguments either way.

Can MacCaffer come straight back as a tagger? This year... ever? Be very tough.

He did a knee mate, his leg wasn't amputated, he'll probably struggle next year but there's no reason why he won't be firing on all cylinders in 2016.

He's 27 in Feb and lets give him another 12 months to be fully fit which puts him at 28.

Its probably a good opportunity to re-develop a Williams or Sinclair for the next 5-6 years and bring MacCaffer back in a slightly different role. Back as negating forward as we drafted him maybe?

Sinclair has pace but I seriously doubt he has the strength required to be a tagger. Williams could be a great option - if he has the tank to run and run all day. Not bad suggestions though.

One of the really pleasing things about our side so far this year is that Williams has rediscovered his confidence & form.

After a tumultuous start to 2014 he has put his head down & bum up.

Well done Marley, long may it continue.

Always been a fan of Marley. Fantastic to see him playing somewhere close to his potential but I can see further improvement left in him with experience.

Has been great the last couple of weeks, his kicking has improved and his toughness is always there. Give us some decent run

Just when I thought we should cut our losses and clear him at the end of the season, he plays his best game for the season against Carlton. Back to the way he played towards the end of his first season. Got his confidence back and kicking much better. I guess he should take last year as a wipe out in hindsight and build on his performance from the Carlton game to improve his output still further. We need him in the team with the uncertainty of the situation regarding Sinclair constantly breaking down with hamstring injuries.

Very happy he's returning to the type of form we grew to expect from him. Still lots of improvement in this kid.

He works really well with Frost.
On Friday night Frost lent on or blocked the Carlton forward numerous times whilst Marley swept the ball away.
They really have a good understanding of each others roll.
Another one of Buckley's hard nuts!

yep, not sure how much or if last year's events impacted on his form but he's definitely the player he was before that. His kicking seems to have really improved too, not seeing too many of those dinky little sideways, up and unders

Who was that chap wearing Marley's jumper earlier in the season? Did we delist him already? He wasn't one tenth the player Marley is.

Yep: the Frost/Williams team plays were just delightful last week, I haven't seen anything so beautiful since the first time Barbara Hansen took me behind the hayshed and ... um ... let's just say I haven't seen anything so beautiful in a very long time. And the understanding the back six are developing with one another, not to mention the trust between them, is so palpable you could slice it up and sell it by the kilo at a Sunday market.

His kicking over the last two weeks has been excellent. If he can keep it at that level, he'll be a gun because he's already a one-on-one beast.
