Mark Williams - a great option

Featured Replies

Mark Williams is a great footy guy, plenty of ticker, a smart tactician and has the fire in the belly to ruffle few feathers here and there. The longer the discussions go with Essendon, j feel we need to pick him up on our way up. We have lost premiership experience in wellman. I could not see a better pick up out there. While we are improving I feel we need the pure mongrel of Williams, not saying Bailey doesn't have it, but would it not great to have more?

Well they did used to work alongside one another not long ago...

Who knows.

worth a couple of phone calls. Remember our home ground is where he won his flag.

but who knows what his attitude is.

 

The game is changing so rapidly that you really need people who are on the ball with the latest tactics and strategies. I'm not so certain that this aspect is Choko's strong suit.

No. Just No.

He fluked a flag, and has overseen a divided club since he went to port.

Williams is about Williams, pure and simple. The MFC is a very tight group atm. Keep it that way and leave Williams well alone.

 

I'd like to see as much innovation in our coaching department as there is in every other department of the club. I want to see more growth and development in this area of our club. I fear we think it will just happen.

Shane is off to work under Voss at Brisbane.

Really? thats no good was hoping he would come back!

No one flukes a flag, from memory he finished on top twice aswell.

We cannot expect our players to simply get better by osmosis, we need to innovate and be ahead of the curve, not saying they are gone but Geelong was so far of everyone it was not funny, now 2 sides have their measure and more to come.

If you are not moving forward you are going backward.

Yeah, But he doesn't like Ties!

Seems to me like the kind of bloke who would struggle being second fiddle to someone else. Also appears a little loose and wirey. I'd rather go for someone with a little more decorum.. a Laidley type. "Allan Scott, you were wrong", no Mark Williams- sore winners and people who publicaly humiliate club sponsors are wrong, and ipso facto that makes you wrong!

The guy has about five kids and would cost us some serious coin. I just don't think he'd bring enough to justify that. Bailey has plenty of mongrel about him and doesn't need someone like Choco to provide it. Agree that Laidley would be a much better option. He's a thinker and ferocious competitor. But again, I don't think Bailey needs someone to hold his hand. Just good assistants.

Bailey's already got CC. It'd be a horrible waste of money if Choco came to the club. Not that it's likely anyway.

Personally I think he's had it.


In what capacity? 'Director of coaching'?

Past his used by date IMO.

Agree.

I'd like to see as much innovation in our coaching department as there is in every other department of the club. I want to see more growth and development in this area of our club. I fear we think it will just happen.

And Williams is the answer or is this just whinge #101?

Bailey has plenty of mongrel about him

I've read similar in other threads but can't remember an example , can someone provide 1 or 2 ?

It was embarrassing and he made a goose of himself when the world was his oyster.

He could have basked in the glory of his victory but chose to do so in a vindictive, unprofessional and immature fashion. Its no wonder he burnt so many bridges at Port.

Exactly, that's why it was so funny.....so Port Adelaide!!!! B)

I can tell you the story of what he said to Chris Johnson on his way out.

I love it.

Others don't think it was proper.

I think that if you don't want to play for this club you can get (oh, that is censored!) .

I also think that if you rock up to training in your MFC gear after your agent has informed the club of your decision, you can get double (oh my, even more censored!) .

Bringing in Williams will be destabilising.

3 losses in a row and the fans see this Premiership coach sitting there waiting to take over.

I want us to get a really good, young defensive coach from a pool of applicants.

You know, the way good clubs do it...

Didn't know we had to pay his kids. ;)

Is that what you think, or is that what Bailey said?

I'm sure I heard at the time, but I can't recall the exact details.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
