Very unlucky. Year he was cut, between him and S. Lonergan. Wish we kept him.

Casey's Justin Plapp named State coach for this year. Surprising choice for me; his Granny performance was poor.

They had a good year; however he choked in the big dance. Williamstown's coach is better.

Maybe Collo couldn't be arsed doing it?
Perhaps the VFL may see more benefits in a developing 39 year old coach at the helm - he is 12 years younger and has a brighter coaching future in front of him.

Look, he had a good year and is clearly a talented coach but considering Victoria haven't won a state match in yonks I'd sooner see the more experienced and better coach take the helm.
If Williamstown's coach was picked, the entire team would just be Williamstown or players who Williamstown want to recruit! It's right to rotate the coach between different teams and Casey made the final last year so it's fair to let Plappy take charge!

AFL Victoria obviously either don't share your concerns, or don't agree with your views.
Plapp will do an excellent job in my opinion. I respect your right to disagree.
Was Matthew Knights asked?

Given he finished up as a VFL coach in 2015 and continues on in 2017 as Geelong's AFL midfield line coach, probably not a relevant person to ask don't you think?

Yeah it should be the Williamstown coach again, just so he will play the 12 players like he did last year!?!?!? It really worked for them didn't it!!! And did they make it to the Granny last year, oh that's right, knocked out in the prelim by Casey!

What's the strategy / thinking around the change of name for the TAC North Ballarat Rebels to the "Greater Western Victoria Rebels" and what if any, implications are there for the VFL team at North? Wonder if the VFL strategy is to replace the VFL Roosters with a more representative team including Western Victoria to garner more support? Maybe no impact at all.

Well it's close finishes galore in round 1. The three games so far this weekend have had a total margin of 11 points, the largest of which was 7 points between Sandringham and Essendon.

Well that's impossible, because they didn't win a game two years agoI think Franston beat us two years ago

Yep. Won two games last year, one against Richmond, the other North Ballarat.

Frankston in 2015 only conceded 30 goals once, in the final round to Port Melbourne. North Ballarat have started worse, and will be lucky to see out the season IMO.

A percentage of 14 isn't great.
Still, twice as good as the St. Mary's 3rd's. Have a % of 7 after one game...

Pfft. That's a local amateur club's thirds.
Happens all the time.
Try Ardmona SENIORS in the KDFL - 2 games, percentage of 3.37 after losing rd 1 by 274-20, and then slumping to a 349-1 result in rd 2.
