Holding down a key defensive post for the majority of his 76 game career, Tom Williams showed in 2012 that his athleticism and solid mark can also be utilised across the forward line. While injuries have played a part in restricting his game time over the years, the Queensland recruit has proven to be a very resilient character, never failing to put in the time, effort and patience required to rehabilitate a range of differing setbacks. Williams was drafted with the Bulldogs first round selection (number six overall) in the 2004 AFL National Draft.

Dislocating his shoulder early in the second round of NAB Cup resulted in Williams being forced to watch the majority of the season from the sidelines in 2012. Playing for his first game of season proper in round 16, the 26 year old defender adopted a new role bolstering the tall timber in the forward line. With a return of three goals and two goal assists from three games, Williams showed he can be an imposing marking target. He played three consecutive games before again being ruled out through injury.
