This Sunday, both the reserves and seniors host Nth Ballarat. The reserves commence at 11.15am with the seniors kicking off at 2pm.
I urge everyone to make the effort in getting to this game, the second last home game of the season.
If it stays dry, and it's not too cold, I'll be able to take some pics which will be posted here as soon as I can.

Williamstown were once again unimpressive in their 26-point victory over Nth Ballarat today.
Inaccurate kicking, again, could have cost them dearly as Nth Ballarat never showed signs of giving in. Right up until late in the last quarter, when tempers flared and things looked like they were going to get nasty, Williamstown struggled to shake the determined Roosters.
Late withdrawals of Dimattina and Hill gave Collingwood rookie-list player Leith Teakle his debut in senior company.
Today's win now sees The Seagulls sitting in seventh position, on percentage, on the TXU-VFL Premiership ladder. With four games remaining until the VFL Finals series, Williamstown face Carlton (eighth) next week at Optus Oval, Box Hill (fifth) at Point Gellibrand, Essendon (13th) at Windy Hill and Springvale (ninth) at Moorabbin. Carlton and Springvale are currently equal with Williamstown on 36 points, so The Seagulls must at least win against these two teams to possibly see finals action.
Scores:
Will: 2.6.18 ~ 7.11.53 ~ 9.17.71 ~ 11.23.89
Nth Ball: 0.2.2 ~ 2.4.16 ~ 5.8.38 ~ 9.9.63
Goals: Kinnear 2, McGough 2, Pearce 2, Smoker 2, Anderson, Holland, Ralph.
Best: Fletcher, Cole, Lloyd, McGough, Kinnear, Anderson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Williamstown reserves set the day for inaccuracy as they wasted many opporunities in front of goal looking for a big win.
However, facing a 13-point deficit at the main break, their persistence paid off and eventually defeated Nth Ballarat by 27 points.
Scores:
Will: 4.5.29 ~ 5.10.40 ~ 9.17.71 ~ 13.22.100
Nth Ball: 3.2.20 ~ 8.5.53 ~ 8.6.54 ~ 11.7.73
Goals: Ramsay 4, Porter 3, Basile 2, Dukes, LaVerde, Rippon, Sheehan.
Best: Fonua, Basile, Tavelangi, Knights, Ramsay, Twomey.

Richie Cole got a lot of the ball, but his disposal often let him down. Then again, it seemed as though the Williamstown players thought this was going to be an easy win, and just kept blazing away without thinking.
Rhyce Shaw would get the ball deep in defence, then switch play by out-running the opposition, take one or two bounces, then just kick to open spaces. Quite often we would kick to a team mate who was double-teamed, which would result in a turnover.
However, when we were given open passage, the slightly higher skill level of the Williamstown team showed that their handpassing from defence and through the centre would allow a forward to find space and take the mark.
Mark McGough was again amongst the best. He did some good things both in defence and in the forward line, as he and Brad Lloyd were changing through the centre. His last kick of the day, a set shot for goal, missed everything and closed what was a shocking display of goal kicking.
Brodie played well and seems to have recovered from his hamstring problem. He played the whole game and seemed to come through unscathed.
Kinnear was again strong at CHF, and his standing-jump ability proved to be too much for his Nth Ballarat opponents. Most times, he would drag his opponent under the flight of the ball, then he would jump, catching his opponent out of position and taking the grab. His kicking let him down as his 2 goals should have been 7 or 8.
Adrian Fletcher was again the general, directing play from the centre and giving encouragement all day. His drive through the centre allows Williamstown to play a fast flowing game, which sometimes comes unstuck when handballs miss targets. This would then result in a goal for the opposition as they then have two or three loose men in attack.
Tom Davidson was, to me, disappointing. He seemed to lack direction and intensity and just couldn't find the leather. Too many fumbles cost him too many possessions. A key forward needs sure hands to be effective.
Paul Dooley was a tower in the ruck, but when resting on the bench, Justin Crow was well beaten on the day. His lack of size should be a worry for the match committee as he was easily shoved aside in the ruck contests.
Dane Swan was-there abouts and got some tough balls, but was also ineffective at times.
James Podsiadly was the danger man at FF, but his kicking for goal let him down. Good positive leads, and strong pack marks is showing us that Pods could be groomed as a future FF for CFC.
Rookie-list player Leith Teakle made his senior debut from the bench, but didn't see much first half action. He put his body on the line several times, and got out a couple of clever handpasses, but whether he remembers the game is another thing as he got crunched early in the last quarter and was assisted off. The 'wobbly boots' where on and I doubt if he knew where he was, but he did return later in the quarter.

From the Williamstown Advertiser.
WILLIAMSTOWN centreman Adrian Fletcher is the hot tip to have the Liston Medal dangling around his neck.
The AFL 200-gamer gathered an extraordinary 42 possessions as the Seagulls outgunned North Ballarat at Point Gellibrand Oval last Sunday.
"He'd have to get the three votes ,"club general manager Brendan Curry said.
"He's certainly had some outstanding games. You'd think he'd be favourite to win our best anf fairest."
Collingwood whiz kid Mark McGough also blitzed in the midfield against the Roosters.
Half-back flanker Richard Cole starred.
Seventh-placed Williamstown play fellow finals contender Carlton at Optus Oval this Saturday from 2pm.
