After speaking to many people pre-match at the Lexus centre and at the ground social club, if these two are on the list next year alot of Collingwood memberships will be lost.

They are absolutely disgracfull

They will both (most likely) be traded for next season. I'm pretty sure Willo is out of contract, and will be dumped whilst O'Bree is a strange one. He has one good game that saves him for six weeks. He has many turnovers which come from his tendancy to use his left boot and also to do 'chippy kicks'. It is very annoying, but the best thing is, we should get someone for him.

Williams will be retained.

i agree cam, i've got a funny feeling that malthouse will want to keep him. He did play reasonable well up forward on Friday Night and i think we know he's capable he just hasn't shown anything until then. But Malthouse might persist. Time will tell.

I reckon Williams will go. His game on Friday would have given a bit of trade value. O'Bree should go as well. Time is up for cheesy.

Williams will be traded and don't kid yourselves, no one will want him. Why would u? He's played 2 average games against Carlton and 1 against Richmond in 2 years.

Think about it, if no - one wanted Betheras, who on earth would waste their time on Williams.

O'Bree should b traded. He won't b worth anything soon. He's made glaring errors in critacal points in the game against Carlton, Melbourne, and again Carlton. I don't believe he has tried hard enough this year, many a time I have seen him not willing to chase his man or lead to creat play. I wasn't @ the game on Friday but I suspect if he was trying, it was because he knows his number is up.

Williams is a dud, and O'Bree isn't much better, but i think we will keep the latter just because he at least puts in a few outstading performances a year.

Both have seen better days, however I have a gut wrenching feeling Willo will be back for round 2 next year Rolling Eyes

The thing is he should go, but MM will have seen enough in him in the last round to retain him. Thats another season of Willo and BK. At least Willo has a bit of talent.

Lokan,Obree,Rhyce Shaw,Mcgough,Kinnear,King,Swan and -possably 3 or 4 more are nowhere near AFL standard.It is so frustrating.I do make bold statements about burning my membership if things aren't changed etc.But with the new season comes renewed optimism and i'm sure most of us are the same.I reckon that either Judkins should have the heat put on him or the drafting criteria that MM gives Judkins should change dramatically.Slow, poorly skilled players aint gunna get you nowhere and when it comes to turnovers,we are the kings of the castle.The only positives i can see that have come out of this season are Ben Johnsons improvement and Guy Richards's emergence.I honestly reckon we have got the equal worst list in the league with the Western Bulldogs and Carlton and MM deserves a Knighthood with the miracles he has worked in the last 2 seasons.Anyone who has been criticle of MM should learn a little bit about the game.
