Hard to imagine a bigger put down than the appointment of Cameron at GWS. Clearly, Williams was shown the door.

FWIW, imo they got it right; Williams fluked the Port flag, then screwed the club $s wise to the point of oblivion. Walked out with full payout into GWS job. God help the tiges.

Gotta say, if Hinkley gets the port job, god help them; his repute from SW Vic is that of a nutter. Might well finish the club. :unsure:

 

How many minor premierships did they win before getting a flag? Hardly a fluke, especially against that lions side

And I've only heard good things about Hinkley, so you aren't really hitting the mark for me I must admit...

Just remind me how you fluke a premiership? I'd be happy if Melb fluked a top-eight spot! Has the runs on the board. Wouldn't be the first person to disagree with the eccentric Sheedy.

 

Williams wife and children hated West Sydney, wished to return to Melbourne.

Mono, I have non-Dee supporter friends who were saying the same thing about Bailey in '07.


lol fluking minor premierships and and a flag whilst dealing with some pretty important injuries to the side is a lot a flukin'.

I'm surprised he lasted 10 minutes under Sheedy, thought he had more sense than that.

Bluey I believe that is true.

However I think the main reason is he was told he would not get the Main job when Sheedy left.

I believe after the last GWS Game he left the ground without even going into the rooms. Walk from the field to his car and drove away.

Me thinks he was more than a little [censored] off!

Williams was right to be [censored] as I imagine he took the role after being informed he would take over after 1 year. When Sheedy got the extension he was out of there.

He's better off in Melbourne than that hole.

As for the flag, it was a few years coming and then he got a side into the GF that shouldn't have been there. Smart but whether still good enough for the main job who knows.

 

He is known to be a below average people-manager, and too many clubs believe this to be essential in modern coaching. For mine, he is a premiership coach and I remember the days of Tredrea, Cornes x2, Francou, Burgoyne x2. There are some flaky footballers in that list and he was able to harness their best, mould them into a team and beat the Lions often during thier 3 year reign.

He seems to be more of an old fashioned ranter like Eade but in some way he gets results out of people. It appears that GWS young players developed quicker than the Gold Coast boys and this is due almost entirely to him.. But his greatest strength - even admitted by people who despise him - is his development of younger players, new draftees, in a teaching role. This is a great move from Williams and the Tiges will benefit from his appointment.

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
