Geelong VFL Coach expects better effort

From the Geelong Advertiser

AN 'embarrassed' Geelong VFL side will be out to get its season back on track when the Cats host Werribee at Skilled Stadium on Sunday morning.

Coach Leigh Tudor said his players were embarrassed by their performance in the opening round against Coburg last week and were determined to use this week's match against Werribee to prove their doubters wrong.

"It wasn't an acceptable performance by quite a few of them and they know that," Tudor said.

"They're pretty keen to get back out there as quick as they can and show the footy world that they're much better than what they showed last week."

The Cats are coming off a 75-point drubbing at the hands of Coburg, but Tudor conceded there was still teething problems as they adjusted to a vastly different line-up.

WILLIAMSTOWN beat its former friend, now foe, Collingwood, by 68 points yesterday, while Port Melbourne fought hard against Sandringham to win by one point.

The Seagulls kicked nine goals to one in the final term to turn a 21-point three-quarter-time margin into a 68-point thrashing, 25.12 (162) to 14.10 (94).

Williamstown's four big forwards were a handful for Collingwood's defence at Burbank Oval, with Patrick Rose kicking five goals, Dean Galea four and three each to Wayde Skipper and Callum Urch.

Seagulls coach Bradley Gotch said Williamstown's forward line was the side's strength.

"We're going to be hard to match up on for most sides if we can keep rotating around and not be too predictable," Gotch said. "I think that's our strength at the minute."

WILLIAMSTOWN coach Bradley Gotch has admitted to "mixed feelings" leading into his side's round-two match against Collingwood.

Williamstown was aligned with Collingwood's AFL side for six years before the club decided to create a stand-alone VFL team.

Gotch, who coached the Seagulls and had a role at the Magpies during that time, said it felt odd looking at his former players as the opposition.

"After being there for eight years," Gotch said, "and I coached Williamstown and Collingwood for six, it was sort of a funny feeling having a look at the opposition, which is the team you've had a big involvement with."

Gotch said he has used his inside knowledge of the club's players to give his team an edge.
