        Never forget that goal against Richmond and the throwing fist pump celebration. Thanks and good luck Will

          That my memory, when Lake faked an injury and Will kicked it securing us a draw from nowhere. It was great to be in the crowd that day, it was like Will won the game for us.

            And Nafan celebrated like they had won and Hargrave laughed at him.

                Terrific fella who really appreciated all the bulldog people and staff. A true gentlemen off the field, who gave his all on it. Going to miss shouting "UP BIG WILL"!!

                  Mighty Will, titan and gentleman, subject of the love of my daughter (and me). Thank you Will, you are up there with John Schultz as a ruckman of great fairness, strength and courage for the Bulldogs. You are blessed with physical characteristics that are larger than life but your character was the real giant.

                        In light of new speculation about his future, I heard Cooney earlier today mention that Minson weighed up an opportunity to go elsewhere a couple of years back, but eventually declined it.

                          I'm a big Willy man.

                          Some of us SA boys referred to him as Optimus when he first came in.

                          I thought he copped a raw deal from Rocket.

                            There was a form for writing a personal message to one of our players on the WB website. Mine went to Will. What a champ over a long period.

                                I've always had a soft spot for Wil and sad that he's finishing up with us. Selfishly I'd like him to retire as I don't want to see him in opposition colours. I would be happy for him if he chose to play on and found a new home. Good luck which ever road you take big fella and thanks for your many years of service.
