Are you suggesting that Williamstown has virtually had it's indentity taken away by Collingwood? The same could be asked about Coburg.

Put it this way if Malthouse told Gotch to jump he would say to Malthouse how high. I follow Williamstown and cannot stand Collingwood. I would rather come second last and build a team rather than use it for training purposes for Collingwood and Malthouse. Look at Frankston's team spirit. They could be the big smoky come September. Might not win a flag but can win a final or two for sure. Aaron Edwards has been outstanding of late nad if they can win in the midfield and deliver the ball to him in open space they will go a long way. As for Williamstown they fell in to Bendigo at Windy Hill, got thrashed at home to both North Ballarat and Sandringham. A bloke like Rhys Shaw runs around like a headless chook and would not give a rats about the seagulls. Very poor player and when you look at him you wonder how ever played in an AFL Grand Final.

Have spoken to Andy collins throughout the year and there is no way that Coburg are anywhere near the same boat, nor river as williamstown. Andy is extremely and genuinly excitied with the talented youth of VFL Listed players coming through. And is prepared to give them a go if they show form. That list aslone shows however the importance of experienced VFL listed players hanging around, the less a team is changed the easier it is. Bullants 4 Sandy 6 Nth Ballarat 5 Geelong, though a bit different 5 Collins has done a great job with Coburg this year. with 9 and = 4th Great to see Frankston with 12, and should make the 8. It's now retaining these players and Building around them which is the next step. Suprised the Bomber are only on six. Though there was a bit more talent than that running around the 2's. WIlliamstown if they keep this up will fall apart before collingwoods eyes, young players at VFL level still have opportunities if they are givin a chance. Just on that Note, anyone think players from their clubs are draft prospects??? Caseys front runners would be Kyle Mathews and Alex Silvagni.

Andy Collins is great with the kids. He was good at Box Hill and know is doing well with the youngsters at Coburg. A mate of mine played at Mitcham when Collins was coach and he was held in very high regard. Of the kids from a draft perspective, Kyle Matthews for sure. I watched the 2nd Division Grand Final in the EFL between Ringwood v Rowville at Mitcham last year and Mathews was best on ground. He has taken the next step to vfl level and deserves to be at least a rookie. Box Hill- Jason Cook and Sam Gibson have done well. Coburg maybe Jacob King. Frankston Aaron Edwards is a gun player. Myles Krakouer is raw and we will get a better idea after a few more games. Warren Carlisle and Mat Smith have done well with Port. Galea is a very good player with the seagulls when Gotch gives him a run which is rare as he has to look after Malthouse's players first.

Club unity is an issue at Williamstown, based on what I have noticed after games when we have played at Burbank Oval. At the aftermatch functions, all the VFL listed players are there but the Collingwood players shower and just head off although the Cloke boys normally hand around for a drink as a well as a chat. Shannon Cox was waiting outside with his girlfriend and didn't even set foot in the social club. All the Bulldogs layers come to ouraftermatch functions and eve at way games, they are always there excpet on the odd time that they have had a club function they have had to head off to. For example, they had to head off from Port Melbourne last week as they had a function for Chris Grant's milestone.
