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?
