WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH

[Return to Glory 7,779]

I would of stepped back. Going to school with Carl Dietrich in the sixties taught me life-long survival skills.

You need to understand that no one here at Demonland has ever squibbed a contest

Basically goes on to explain that Billy is giving up football for a life as a Buddhist monk.

And that he would like to get a tattoo of Satan across his forehead while he does his studies.

[Roger Mellie 3,568]

Need to keep No. 18 free for him

I heard he was getting schooled by Glen Benton in regards to this Biffen.

[dees189227 10,910]

Well thats great that he wants to play for us. Hopefully another great father/son pick up.

[Biffen 12,385]

I heard he was getting schooled by Glen Benton in regards to this Biffen.

The article also goes on to say that he has a large butterfly collection and that he is interested in making ships in a bottle.

After he has been initiated by the Hells Angels ,he will be eligible for the draft if his solo yacht trip around the world goes OK.

[rpfc 27,591]

We should get him and do him a favour and not play him until he is 20.

Young Billy has made the AIS-AFL Academy Squad for next season.

[Machsy 2,858]

Begin the campaign to discredit his character for father-son bidding purposes............

[angrydee 842]

Jordie is from Terang, Riv is from S.A- Adelaide...

Rivers is from Broken Hill

[Slartibartfast 15,922]

Rivers is from Broken Hill

No, Port Augusta.

[spirit of norm smith 13,204]

Billy Stretch - yes to father/son pick. He wants to be at MFC. That's step 1 for me. And he has talent. Lock it in.

[dazzledavey36 49,025]

^{Don't know if anyone knows but Billy was selected in the level 2 AIS team earlier this month.}

^{Hearing good things about Billy!}

^{Also there is a kid by the name of Harry Viney who plays for North Adelaide under 18s and bit of a goal kicking forward? The son of Jay Viney but haven't heard much else..}

[Machsy 2,858]

No, Port Augusta.

Pronounced "Port Augutta"

[dazzledavey36 49,025]

Billy Stretch has played the last four games for Glenelg reserves and been named in the best twice for 6 goals. I believe he will play in the grand final this week aswell which will be interesting.

Have heard he is a very quick wingman who can push forward and kick goals plus also a 15.4 beep test as well. Another good young mid to add to our table next year.

I am unsure how many games Jay played for us, but it certainly wasn't near enough for a FS qualification, for what it is worth.

I haven't followed this thread throughout - which year draft is Billy set for?

[dazzledavey36 49,025]

He will get picked up in next years draft meaning he can play in 2015.

Jay? Isn't his father Steven stretch? Played plenty of games I think

[dazzledavey36 49,025]

He was talking about Harry Vineys dad Jay in whether he is eligible for father son.

[darkhorse72 1,743]

it seems we need all our father/sons to move to S.A. as it looks like a good production line coming out of that state..of good hard footy players

Interesting with the article. I could read it straight up on the iPad but got the paywall on the desktop?

[whatwhat say what 19,314]

I really hope he comes through for us, and turns into a star.

Used to love watching his dad take hangers

Sorry - I should have included the post to which I was replying - there was a reference to Harry Viney, son of Jay in one of the posts and I was referring to him.
