    Was very sad to learn of the death last Thursday of Preston's former JJ Liston Trophy star Matthew Burrows. Apparently he collapsed at his workplace. He was 41.
    Matt was involved in the famous four-way Liston tie in 1990, sharing the Liston with Garbuio, Nichol and Harkins, and was a charging bull of a centre half back. Sad times for the Bullants

    SEN thought it went ahead today despite the weather. If it did, were any of their VFL list used for the game (and how did they go?)

    WILLIAMSTOWN believes in Liam Picken and is prepared to put up money that he will make it as an AFL player.

    The Seagulls have confirmed they gave $20,000 to their VFL partner the Western Bulldogs to help pay for the cost of having him on their rookie list.

    “We think it’s a very good investment in Liam and for our alignment with the Bulldogs,” Willy general manager Brendan Curry said.

    “It will be money well spent. We’ve got enormous faith in him. He’s ready to step up.”

    Liam is the son of former Collingwood champion Billy and shared Willy’s best and fairest last year. He was also selected in the VFL team of the year.

    This is something I mentioned late last year, but this article in this week's Maribrynong Leader, written by Paul Amy, confirms it.

    Seems the Seagulls will get a chance to play Australia's best young players from the AIS academy on a big stage in the first week of April.

    Will look forward to watching it!!!
