Williamstown

[bradf]

One way that I feel Collingwood could improve is to make Williamstown a premiership contender every year. We have the cash to score the better VFL players. To obtain ex-afl players who are hard, good kicks and great work ethics. Players that are too old/slow to now make it in AFL but are perfect for VFL for a few years. If we can install a winning feeling into Williamstown, then when the Collingwood listed players get call up to the seniors they will play with more confidents.

If you have the right players in the VFL it may show the youngers to value of training hard on and off the track, the right way to kick during a game, or just to get the general skill level up overall. Even just to listen to the Ex-AFL players stories and experiences can help teach a rookie what it takes to have a long AFL career.

I read that Andrew Williams has been sign to Williamstown

This guy never had the overall talent for AFL, but was an extremely hard worker. A gym addict. To retain the service of Andrew is the right direction. He will lead by example in the gym.

Willo's still a spak at VFL level, but he's good enough for VFL level, and is flexible. He's a good pick up for the Towners and good comedy value for the games I attend!

Andrew Williams will be fantastic at Williamstown. Willy won the flag a few years ago partly because they had bigger older stronger bodies and experienced football brains, eg Mark Richardson Adrian Fletcher Rupert Betheras, Brad Lloyd and Ben Kinnear.

Its a good move to retain him.

The way I see it is if the 1's have an injury free year, more mid range players are available for Williamstown who will excell at VFL level.

A better coach might help.

Nothing wrong with Gotchy. He has a good coaching brain.

Hopefully he has a good year with Willi so we can pick him up again.

Willo will go ok in the VFL. Rupe actually played one or two matches for the reserves there back in '04.

Get rid of Greg Swan's mob and put a Collingwood side in the VFL. WTF are we going to do with our profits anyway? Don't let Andrew Williams anywhere near it. Get Mick McGuane to coach it and see if he's the man to take over from MM at about round 3.
