This might have already been asked, but i just woke up this morning and thought to myself, is Williams still at Collingwood?

Cheers

Yep. I would think that he will be offered as trade bait, I know people will say no one will want him...but a club may see something in him that we don't. If he isn't traded, then he will probably be delisted. I'm sorry Andrew, but if you aren't delisted, there are problems at the club.

Thanks Joel. He hasnt been spoken about much, thats scary!!!!!!

Let hope we have a good week, if he stays lets all hope he gets back to the form we know he can play at. Last chance

99% sure he'll be at Collingwood next year, Malthouse rates him too highly and his ability to play either end of the ground will probably ensure that he's retained.

Nath, you are probably right. I think I'm hoping he will be delisted, more than anything.

If Williams stays - who goes? with the promotions of Maxwell and crow and only BK and stunner gone so far i'm just a bit worried bout who we lose

Crow is no certainty to be on the list next year. There has been absolutely no guarantee given to him, and he managed only 15 minutes of football for the year and was only even remotely considered because Wakes broke his arm. Yes, you have to promote Maxwell, but not Crow.

As for space on the list, take your pick out of Mullins, Nixon, Shack, Zane Leonard to go and then one or two others, namely McG, Shaw, Swan, maybe another to be traded for a draft pick, that can be ontraded or passed on at the draft and be used in the PSD.

I have it on good authority that Crow has already been delisted.

Williams, I fear, may well stay. That may well prove a master stroke by MM, given that he could become a 'Nick Davis' type player. He does have a little value, and the Crows will be interested.

I thought they had said we where going to retain Crow - but i think Williams does have value i just think list sizes are that small and just dont want to lose some promising kids that we have on the list ie: Nixon, Shack etc.

I'd get rid of Shaw, MCG before both of these kids

I doubt Crow will stay. He looked good in his only game, but the odds are against him.

Williams has absolutely no value to us what so ever. People say he can play either end of the field etc....the guy can't play and I personally can't wait to see the end of him. As soon as he gets picked to play we know we're in the shit !

Williams didn't even play well at Williamstown this year (correct me if I'm wrong Dale). OK, he did well in the last game of the season, but then so does eveybody who knows their time is up!

Unfortunately, I believe he is still on out list.

No one will trade for him and I can't see even MM offering him a new contract.

I still don't understand why people are so keen to dump Nixon and Shackleton too...

And I think Mullins is the 19 year old that Malthouse had to tell was no longer required, because he was actually given pretty decent opportunities, and really showed nothing. At least Shacks and Nixon still have their potential, Mullins has pretty much shown he's not an AFL player.

Meanwhile, after another pretty good year in the VFL with Willi, would anyone else like to see Sam Cranage given a chance?
