Seems as though the times were wrong on the website as the games have again been changed.

The reserves are back to a 10.30am start, with the Seniors kicking off at 1pm.

What I posted above was EXACTLY how it was on the WFC web site.

In front of a crowd in the 10's, Williamstown gave Geelong an absolute lesson, but not sure whether it was due to Geelong being so bad, or Williamstown being so good. I've got no other games to compare this one to, so if it is the latter, Williamstown are looking at a very successful 2006.

Final scores:
Geelong: 2.1.13 - 3.1.19 - 6.4.40 - 9.5.59
Williamstown: 3.6.24 - 9.9.63 - 11.10.76 - 15.15.105

No goal kickers available, but Danny Nicholls and David Fanning kicked a few, C2 missed more than he got (could have had a lazy six), and Andrew Williams absolutely starred, along with Steven Greene and Brad Lloyd.

Booch also did a lot of good things, Steven Brewer will be a good pick-up from the Scorpions, Pendles started well, but drifted out towards the end of the game (as would be expected), and Sam Iles was lively early.

Brent Hall has absolutely NFI and won't see another senior game this year (only if out of sympathy), and the Chad was strong across HB.

Couldn't really get into the game as much as I would have liked as this is possibly the only Williamstown game I'll get to this year, but it was good to see a game live again.

Collingwood listed players who had a run: Scott Pendlebury, Danny Stanley, Ryan Cook, David Fanning, Cameron Cloke, Sam Iles, Adam Iacobucci, Brent Hall, Danny Nicholls and Chad Morrison.

There may be pics later, but I have to edit them first.

Unfortunately the win was soured by injuries to 2 of our young guns.
Danny Stanley didnt even make it pass the warm up where he strained his hamstring!! This was the same hamstring that had sidelined him a few weeks earlier. Not a good sign for the young fella..
Also Scott Pendlebury did not reappear after halftime. He appeared to either injure his quad or groin. Crying or Very sad
