Ball movement coach Mark Williams speaks exclusively to melbournefc.com.au in the last of a nine-part series about how the Melbourne players are tracking this pre-season

Colin Sylvia
Col’s 2010 was the year we’ve been waiting for. He achieved that because he worked really hard, and he got himself into a playing and training routine. Col realised it wasn’t just one thing that makes you a good footballer - it’s everything. And Col has really got that right, which has continued over the pre-season. He has also stepped up with his leadership, because we know he can be an elite player.
 
Luke Tapscott
Luke had an injury-interrupted first season. It was a frustrating time for him, but he’s got some real grunt - he’s a bit of an old-style footballer. He’s got some genuine aggression, so the challenge for him over the pre-season has been to get his body right. We think Luke can make an impact in the games that he plays in 2011.

Jack Trengove
Jack had a great first year in 2010, but he also learned a lot about his game along the way. He is really intense about his footy, but he is still able to really enjoy it. Jack has trained hard over the pre-season, and has been an example to his teammates with his actions on the training track. This should help him to have a really consistent year in 2011.

Matthew Warnock
Matty had a few ups and downs last year, because he missed a few games. But being the true professional that he is, he got the best out of himself, because he’s gone to the nth degree with his preparation and training. We expect no different from Matty this year, and we expect him to be playing some really good senior footy. He needs to continue to talk up and lead the way with the backline group.

Jack Watts
Jack is now entering his third season, but he was pretty young in his first two years. He has gained a lot of knowledge over the journey so far, and we just need to make sure Jack continues to train well and sticks to his routine. He needs to continue to prepare himself well with everything, including diet and sleep, so we can see the best of him in 2011.

Austin Wonaeamirri
Aussie has had a tough pre-season, due to the tragic and sad passing of his father. Now that he’s back in Melbourne, he needs to keep working hard. If he is fit and going, then he is a genuine asset for the team. We need his ground level pressure and his smart decision making and kicking, plus his goal scoring ability in the forward line. He needs to continue to make sure his body is slim, trim and terrific.
