Really good appointment, with such a wealth of young talent, he will  be a great fit , he has a great footy mind and great footy person.

Great appointment.

I like this. If Goody falls on his sword we have a natural back up; sort of a reverse succession plan.

                         

 

 

Don’t mind it. Reeeeeeally don’t mind it!

Good to see the club on the front foot and reckon Choco will be give great guidance to some of our leaders as well as youngsters. 

Welcome!

 

Very very good get, success has followed him everywhere he has been.  Great backboard for goody and apparently is on of the best at getting talent out of individuals especially in young kids.  Not his role but hope he still has a bit to do with the playing group!

Can someone explain why everyone is so excited. Do any of you actually know what he brings?

AFL premiership coach at Port and key in developing Richmond into a premiership dynasty. Helped develop Dusty into a star and Cotchin from worst captain in the league to 3 time premiership captain? Nah his CV is rubbish ;)

Maybe you can start by enlightening us all of what he 'doesn't' bring.

The only thing missing now is to see the coaching set up to work to a common goal for the good of the Club and to get the glory of a first premiership in six decades. mark williams may prove to be the best appointement of them all.

cant wait to watch the transformation in Clarry, Kossie, Gus, LJ, Riv and Weids.

I wasn’t criticising the appointment at all just looking for some detail but I guess it’s fairly obvious 


I think even Kane Cornes will like this appointment....not that we need to pass the Kane test but he is a big wrap for Williams.

 Best news of the season so far. Great get, he knows his stuff inside and out. 
 

Good insurance too if Goodwin doesn’t perform again next season. Would be happy to see him in the top job if the opportunity arises.

Have you forgotten Yze? I sure he has come on board with the view to coach us in a year or two.


This is a very, very good get by the club.

Well done Pert and co.

 

We have a former premiership coach coming in as an assistant coach specialised the area where he has perhaps even better reputation than as a head coach?

Well, I'll be darned.

Burgess, Yze, Williams...  we are not messing around when it comes to securing footy department people to fill specific identified needs.

Is his nickname still Choco and is that in anyway referencing his complexion?

Just a straight answer here please. I don't want to derail the bloody thread..

No mate but Williams is a premiership winning coach and a good track record m developing players. 
 

Cant beat that. 
 

I like Yze but I really am not in favour of another rookie coach.

Both great appointments but Williams has more runs on the board. If i had to choose between the 2 i'd choose Chocco.


As I heard from the horses mouth, Chocco came asking for a job in 2019 and was knocked back. Good to have him where he clearly wants to be.

Given how bad our player development has been this is a great appointment imo.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
