WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH

[jazza 1,323]

18, but cross has that.

54.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Great result, very happy, was a little worried he rocketed himself up to an early second round pick but what a bargain

What did Moore go for? Hopefully so eons before collingwoods first bid in him

Collingwood had to take him with their first rounder apparently.

Interesting to see the Dees use pick 2 for Isaac Heeney forcing the Swans to take him with their first pick....

Welcome to the club Billy!!

Have a really good feeling about this kid, I reckon he'll really come on as a player once his body gets a few pre-seasons into it.

Absolutely stoked to officially be a demon! Thanks to everyone for the help and support. Can't wait to get into it! #myheartbeatstrue

As many have already alluded to.....people that want to be part of our club and take it forward.

[Cards13 9,117]

What is he going to say?

"Oh ffs Melb has picked me up?! Career over, what a waste. I really had some good chats with the Giants and they said they might grab me."

[Pates 9,541]

Sounds like an excellent result to nab him with our third rounder. He sounded like he was doing really well at the draft combine (something people on here didn't seem to like ) so welcome to the club Stretch, and good luck!

If he didn't want to come to Melbourne he didn't need to nominate under F/S rule.

Could have stayed in Adelaide and gone to Adelaide.

[Vanilla Gorilla 204]

Who ended up bidding for him?

[SaberFang 7,141]

Adelaide at pick 25 or so.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Pick 39 yay

common sense prevails....

welcome aboard, young Billy 'Stretcha'

[Machsy 2,858]

Interesting that we bid pick 2 on Heeney, I wonder if the club will try and poach him in the future

Adds credence to the equalisation argument in future: "swans got a freebie that we'd have paid pick 2 for..."

Not what I'm saying, was making a point that no players would come out saying they don't want to be at a club they were picked up by.

Anyway great to have young Billy onboard, hopefully in 2-3 years he is making a contribution to the cause.

Welcome Billy! Just put your head down, work hard and you will reap the multiple benefits of becoming an AFL listed player. Best of luck and soon we might all be yelling Go Billy or "Stretcha"!

[InVINCEable 358]

Wow I remember when this Stretch thread was started

Weclone Billy!

I'm all for cloning him, but how many do we have in mind?

Half a dozen maybe.......at a stretch !!!

Billy was on Trade Radio today. For anyone that missed it, here's the link. He sounds very excited to be joining the dees.

[manny100 1,089]

Great get!!!! He should be the start of a great trading season for us. Add, Brayshaw, Lubamba, and some more. Plus Hogan and Trengove to come back....................... YES!!!!

[DTJ 95]

Really impressed with how he presented himself on Trade Radio.

Do you think that Roos was making a statement, that he is worth 2, but going for 19 to the Swans.

[whatwhat say what 19,942]

hope everyone is in agreement that it's SOS as a nickname.

I would be almost sure of it...

[demon-4-life 467]

For those thinking Sydney are getting another leg up, lets not forget, we snared a young J.Viney for an absolute bargain as well...

I liked his comments on the website and l am convinced that he is going to be a big part of the future of this Club along with Viney, Salem, JKH, Toumpas, Tyson, Hogan and Brayshaw! (and a reborn Trengrove!)
