Williamstown want to join Frankston and Port Melbourne as stand alone teams in 2013.
This would mean a 15 team competition in 2013.
Thoughts?

any mention of Ned Kelly,gullible? ;-)
apparently there is a meeting on Tuesday re the alignment.
Interesting to see the stronger language come out of Williamstown about wanting to be a stand-alone club again.
Does pull on my heart strings a bit!
Lets face it Footscray is the weakest of all the Melbourne clubs with the lowest membership and the side going nowhere and millions in the red.
They are in no position to dictate to Williamstown about anything.Willy at least still represent a local community something Footscray dumped many years back.
Spot on Billy. They got rid of Footscray for the stupid name Western Bulldogs. Nothing worse than an Americanised crap name.
Western what ? No locality. Everyone knows they are Footscray.
Almost as stupid as when Preston changed to Preston Knights and the ridiculous jumper. Then went on to the Northern Bullants and the rest we all know.
The dogs have not much $$ and who do they think they are to control a club as old as Williamstown that have more funds and is a community rather than a name like Western Bulldogs.
Being a bit harsh on the dogs but it is time now for Williamstown to join Port Melbourne, Frankston and Bendigo. In the words of John Kennedy, don't say DO !!!
Willy! Stand Alone!?
What will Brekky DJ do?
Perhaps he'll do a "Judy" and change colours according to the state of the game!;);-)
Didnt hear any whisper of wanting to stand alone when they had a good influx of Collingwood or Bulldog players... With the Bulldogs starting to rebuild in would mean another 2-3 yrs of Willy not being in the premiership mix. Hopefully they start 2013 as a stand alone side.
Article in today's Herald Sun on Williamstown/Footscray.
Pretty sure that the seagulls will be standalone in a 15 team comp.
Will be 16 in 2014 with Coburg and Richmond splitting.
One wonders if Coburg and the Bulldogs will have a chat?
They could join forces in 2014 if the dogs struggle on their own and Coburg struggle for funds.
on behalf of all seagull supporters congratulations to the willi boys for a courageous victory today over the burra !!!! so many people have written the seagulls off but to defeat our 2 greatest rivals within 6 days and to come from behind both weeks speaks volumes of the character of the coaching and playing staff !!!
Ben Jolley is a star
