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.

In what capacity? 'Director of coaching'?

Past his used by date IMO.

would take him as an assistant but would like to give woewodin a go also

Shane is off to work under Voss at Brisbane.

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.

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.

No way he could play 2nd banana, type of guy who must dominate any conversation he is in.

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...

The guy has about five kids and would cost us some serious coin.

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.
