Will Minson = total class. Thanks Will, you gave 100% every time you put the jumper on. You played some terrific footy for us and you will always be remembered and loved by Bulldog supporters. Thank you Big Will. Best wishes for the future and congrats on your up-coming wedding.

"It's not about the destination - it's about the trip."
Best wishes Big Will including for upcoming wedding. Your heart and efforts for the club are matched by your stature. Based upon speeches on Charles Sutton night you are also well respected and loved by your peers as well as a great mentor. Gonna miss ya big fella.
Josie :)
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Just like '54 again.
On Saturday as the game ended Will came down aslie 35 /36 at the Ponsford end and jumped the fence to get on the ground. Of course everyone cheered Will and he turned around gave a thumbs up, a slight wave and then he was offf.
Great career and certainly got the most out of himself.
Will has been a great clubman across his career and for patches an elite contributor, never giving below his best and always doing what the Club needed from him. I will always love Will for his aggressive and physical style of footy, he wasn't dirty but was prepared to put everything on line, his reputation included, to get the job done. The Pearce and Cornes sledges were brilliant, viscious barbs that served their purpose and we didn't look after him very well in the backlash. Despite being hung out to dry he just kept giving his best and showing our jumper the utmost respect.
Wil Minson was one of the reasons I was happy we won the VFL premiership. If anyone deserved to go out with a flag it was Wil. His play was one of the reasons we won it.He was one of the driving forces in the team when he just could have ran around at half pace avoiding the bumps that hurt but Wil threw himself into his game and never shirked an issue. He was always available in the best possible condition despite playing at Footscray.
Thanks Wil.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

He was very good in the VFL Grand Final for sure. He has had some tough times competing with Ben Hudson for a number of years but then when Huddo left he really stepped up.

It's often the way with Ruckmen they really relish the number one role. They can eke away at a club for years until the star leaves or is injured or retires or explodes or something and when they become othe number one ruckman they improve. We had Ian Hampshire for years until Gary Dempsey left for North and Hampshire gets the main job and all of a sudden he's a star.
