williamstown football club past players

1970’sGreat football clubs are more than successful on and off the field; they are more than a place to play and enjoy the game of Aussie Rules.

Things improved with a 2-point win at Pt Gellibrand over eventual runner-up, Brighton (Frank Rigaldi 7 goals), before two further defeats at the hands of Northcote and Port Melbourne. 19yo Mal Macpherson led the Club goalkicking with 59 while Colin Wilcox won the best and fairest award. He later went to Footscray VFA in 1914. They then downed Essendon at East Melbourne 6.10 to 2.13 before meeting eventual premier Geelong at Gardens Reserve and losing badly 10.14 to 0.8 before a crowd of 3,000. Lawler's 6 goals took his total for the year to 31 and he became the first Williamstown player to lead the VFA goalkicking list for many years. Bert Reitman stepped up to become captain. At the completion of the season, the Cup was awarded to Williamstown, which won 10 of its 12 games with one draw to beat a team called South Park by just one point, 21 to 20, followed by South Melbourne (15 points) and Fawkner (13 points). The new entity was formally known as the Northcote and Preston Football Club but played its games at Northcote, retained Northcote's colours and the team in the VFA was known as Northcote. The Villagers returned to the winners list with successive two-goal victories over Footscray and North Melbourne at Williamstown. Alan Strang came across from South Melbourne, while local talent in John Molyneux, Charlie McLaren, Lou Barker and Max Hughes joined the Club. Carpenter's best return was nine goals against Geelong Association in round 13 at Williamstown. The Tricolours were fifth at the time, two points behind,  and led the Villagers by 3 points only at half-time, but by kicking 5 goals to one in the third quarter they set up a 9.10 to 5.4 victory to displace Williamstown from the final four. One of the victories was at Brunswick, who finished second on the ladder, by 7 points in round 2. There was also the season's biggest win by 78 points over Essendon Association at Windy Hill in round 4. The Club reverted its guernsey design to a yellow waist band instead of the sash for this season, perhaps due to the influx of recruits from Williamstown CYMS which also wore the band, including Bertie Crellin, George Taafe senior, Alf Bliss and 1927 CY's captain J.

During the season, Colin Wilcox passed Arthur Cutting's record of 159 senior games and had 173 by season's end. Conditions were little better the following week at Elsternwick Park for the round 13 clash with Brighton, where The Age described 'the ground, except in one small area near the grandstand, was in a shocking condition, the centre being a soggy mass of  black mud and the remainder water-logged.'
Brunswick had defeated Footscray the week before. In total, 23 people connected to the Club had enlisted and served on the European front during the war, the most of any of the VFA clubs. The 30 year-old Staniland never played again. However, the following Tuesday the Health Department again contacted the Council and declared 'that the temporary installation of sanitary arrangements at the cricket ground did not comply with the requirements, and that the order for the closure, temporarily lifted last Saturday, still remains in force.' Leo Drew joined Williamstown in 1927 from Kingsville and played 83 games up until the end of 1933. Sykes played 125 games over 8 seasons from 1926-34. Sat 16 Feb 1935 - Williamstown Chronicle (Vic. Port then had to play a home game against Preston at Williamstown and Essendon Town at Richmond. There was then a narrow victory at home by 7 points against eventual finalist, Camberwell (Munro 4 goals). He then returned to Port Melbourne for 3 seasons before coming back to Williamstown as captain-coach in 1933 but went to Camberwell as assistant coach during the following year. Williamstown led at every change and was still ahead by a point in time-on in the last quarter before Joe McGrath kicked a long goal to snatch victory for The Villians, an eventual finalist. The Williamstown Football Club was formed in 1864, making it one of the oldest football clubs in Australia. He also represented Williamstown in the State Parliament for many years.
At the annual meeting in respect of the 1909 season, held at the Mechanics Institute in Electra Street in March 1910, life memberships were awarded to Horrie Dick, who played from 1901-06 and was captain in 1905 and was the Club's first official coach in 1906, W. Barnes, who was assistant secretary from 1900-1902 and in 1904 and 1906 and from 1908-09 and was a committeeman in 1903, Wyn Outen, who played from 1899-1909 with a stint at St Kilda from 1903-07 and was Williamstown captain in 1908-09 and vice-captain of the 1907 premiership team, and Dick Bliss, who played from 1906-09.
