The Dark Side of Greg Williams! You Won't Believe What He Did...

#gregwilliams #afl #aussierulesfootball
Greg Williams was a master of the field, and a master of causing chaos off of it. His brilliance as a player was often overshadowed by his knack for stirring up trouble. Let's dive into the wild ride that was his career.
Williams, born on September 30, 1963, in Victoria, Australia, gained renown as one of the finest centers in AFL history. Known for his exceptional hand passing skills, he was the standout player of his era in this regard. Williams grew up in Melbourne and later moved to Bendigo at age 10. He played football for the Golden Square Football Club in the Bendigo Football League, where he quickly earned praise for his talent. His skills were evident early on, leading him to represent Victoria in the Teal Cup in 1980.
Before the 1982 VFL season, Williams trained in the pre-season with the Carlton Football Club, which was his zone from the Bendigo Football League. However, Carlton turned him down due to concerns about his speed and fitness. He went back to Golden Square and had a stellar season, winning the Michelsen Medal as the league's best and fairest player. Carlton gave him another chance in the 1983 pre-season, but once again, he was rejected. Williams returned to Golden Square and once again claimed the Michelsen Medal.
Regarding his brief tenure in the AFL,
Williams started his AFL journey with Geelong in 1984 under coach Tom Hafey, where his remarkable hand-passing skills immediately made waves. He set records and earned accolades before moving to Sydney in 1986, where he continued to shine brightly. Williams not only won the prestigious Brownlow Medal but also earned All-Australian honors multiple times during his tenure with the Swans.

IMO there is no player in the last 40-50 years that I’ve seen that could claim to be a better player. By any measure. And I’m not Victorian and never supported any team he played for.

Gary Ablett snr. Greatest I’ve ever seen. I would have quite a few before Williams. I’ve watched plenty of footy over many years also..
