Good win that, considering Williamstown were undefeated in 2nd place and averaging 22 goals a game heading in.

Hope we don't play many more televised games on the ABC. Tend to play a lot worse with the cameras on us than we do without.

Taylor in the best, very nice, as Willi have some good tall forwards.

Good to see Hogan getting a mention again.

Only caught the last quarter. Were wobbly early as Willy made a charge, but steadied in the middle through the good work of some VFL players (Cheep, Firman and Byrne), the power of Lonergan, the Lowe-like mitts of Scott Simpson and the behind kicking prowess of one (ha! appropriate!) Shannon Byrnes.*

Various other thoughts from the game...McKenna is bloody skinny but has a turn of pace, in stark contrast to Dawson Simpson, who is probably the biggest person in the world ever. Moles was good around goal, Harry and DJ showed they were a cut above.

*And yes, apart from that, he was pretty good.

Any word on Varcoe? He ran off the ground with what looked to be an injured arm/shoulder (?).

I didn't realise Scotty Simpson got 8 goals! What a great effort. Byrnes was listed in the 'best' but I didn't think he was good enough to be back in the seniors next week, I suppose it will depend on the match ups.

BTW who's number 49???

Asked the same question midway through the game...thought he was really, really good.

Maybe we're camera shy.

Good call.

According to the 2008 handbook,
Dawson Simpson = Cougar (after Barry Dawson the Cougar bloke)
Scott Simpson = O.J.

I didn't realise any of this bit:

Firman was chosen to play for Essendon in Round 22 last year before tearing his hamstring at the team’s final training session. His disappointment was compounded when he was de-listed at the end of the 2006 season.

Yeah, poor bugger used to play for my old club in Canberra. Good to hear he's going alright
