THE assurance of a full-time coach has proved the deciding factor in the Western Bulldogs' new partnership with VFL club Williamstown.
Bulldogs president David Smorgon and coach Rodney Eade yesterday announced the new three-year deal.
The agreement comes after the Bulldogs split from former affiliate Werribee.
Collingwood's departure from Williamstown opened the door for the Bulldogs to re-align with the Seagulls after a seven-year hiatus.
Brad Gotch will continue as full-time coach of the Seagulls in conjunction with his new role as development coach of the Bulldogs.
Eade said a strong alignment with a VFL club was second only to the expensive single-club model.
