Our on field performances certainly failed to reach the level of success which we all craved in 2009 and significant changes have been made in our Football Department. In our December Newsletter I outlined the process which took place in not re-contracting Brad Gotch and the appointment of Peter German. I again extend my personal appreciation and the appreciation of the Williamstown Football Club to Brad Gotch, for his 8 years as Senior Coach of the Club. However, I am excited about the qualities Peter German will introduce into our Club. I am also excited about the prospects of an improved on-field performance for Season 2010. Williamstown won a second consecutive Gary Gilchrist Trophy in 2009 but undoubtedly our club wants to taste premiership success. The VFL competition continues to evolve with all clubs struggling to recruit key ex-AFL players with local, country and interstate clubs offering bigger cash incentives. The best news for our competition was the recent National and Rookie Drafts which saw 10 players selected from VFL clubs. This is a result of players like Liam Picken and Robin Nahas being recruited as mature aged rookies and having success at AFL level in 2009. Undoubtedly the introduction of new AFL franchises Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney will see more players drafted from VFL Clubs.
