The Williamstown Football Club is proud to announce Brett Johnson as the new Captain and the naming of Steven Greene and Andrew Williams as Joint Vice- Captains for the upcoming 2007 VFL Season. Johnson arrived at Williamstown in 2006 after spending 5 years in the AFL system with Hawthorn and Carlton. Johnson established himself in the VFL as an influential figure on and off the field throughout the year. This was reflected when he finished runner up in the 2006 Liston Medal behind Frankston full forward Aaron Edwards and runner up in the 2006 Gerry Callahan Medal behind Steven Greene. Johnson takes over the captaincy from Brad Lloyd who has retired from VFL football. Steven Greene and Andrew Williams both arrived at the club last year with Johnson and both demonstrated fine leadership skills on and off the field and were rewarded by being named as Joint Vice Captains for the 2007 season. The club has also signed James Beaumont from Old Melburnians in the VAFA. James is a utility type player capable of playing multiple roles on the ground. James is former Carlton and Hawthorn player Simon Beaumont’s younger brother.
