Nick (the Pie Man), does WILLIAMS play well when Collingwood does, or does COLLINGWOOD play well when Williams does??? Think about that one...

hmmm no williams plays well when collingwood does.
Be picks up form collingwood as a team plays well, he runs with the momentum.

although i admired williams ability to kick a great goal on the run over the last two seasons the sight of him doing that lately have been few and far between. Compare the work eithic of his to Buckleys and you have a proper comparison of two players one great, the other very good but not great because he is just plain slack. Williams and Buckley could of made a combination like burke and harvey were at ST kilda back in 1997. Ironically back in 1997 was when the two played their best footy together. Buckley will try all day regardless of the team he is playing in and how badly they are playing. Williams seems to go out of the play when the team is down and guys like nick davis and buckley keep pluggin away - they are our future. Williams can go play bottom of the top eight finals footy with the swans. The swans are not gonna be much anyway kelly is old dunkley is old luff, schwarz, alison etc all on the wrong side of 30. In a couple of years we will finish ahead of the swans and they wont have won a flag. Malthouse is following the Bombers model of getting a core of talented youngsters all around the same age and getting them to peak at the same time, rather than as we do now where we have Buckley peaking and the rest like williams, Sav crosisca and brown all past it and us dwelling on their past feats. no disrepect to the two Gavs, or Sav just that they were past their best football and we have to move on quickly rather than stay in the doldrums for more years. best offload the any slackers like Willo and build a team now for the future then wait any longer.
something else could someone tell me all the Official De-listings so far this year?

I too have admired William's ability, all over the ground but the fact is his consistency has been apalling. Newelly, I agree with you totally there.

Collingwood must build a great side through its youth, it is a policy that will work and we must stick by it. Will people also remember that Essendon finished 14th in 1997, look at the difference a couple of years has made.
