Mark Williams' move to Melbourne as a Development Coach has already been mentioned on this site. Here's a tribute to the highly successful Zebra coach from the Bayside Leader newspaper courtesy of vflfooty.com - Triple premiership coach departs Zebras.

It's an exciting opportunity for the 43-year-old, who has ambitions to be an AFL senior coach.

"My ambitions are to hopefully become a senior coach if I can, so this was a step forward in that regard," he said. "I went for the senior job last year at Melbourne and they basically said to me if I want to move forward I've got to do some assistant coaching and go from there."

The article mentions that the Zebras have managed the first recruiting coup of the VFL off season - "Sandringham is set to sign former Western Bulldogs forward Matthew Robbins. The 30-year-old played 146 AFL games after being recruited from Ormond Amateurs." Robbins will make a handy aquisition to the Zebra ranks in 2008.

    I am glad MFC has given MW the opportunity, after all what else could he achieve in the VFL?

    Well they didn't manage to sign him apparently as he's decided to go back to wherehe started out as a footballer - Ormond Amateurs in C Grade VAFA.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
