Mad_Melbourne 877 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 if you read the article it says he'd like to play for melbourne, we have had a little bit of contact but basically only said look we want to watch you over the year and see how you go, so he would be feeling the better he plays the better his chances which is exactly what we want. my point is that why would he say "melbourne have been in serious contact with me, they are stoked that i have been able to put some muscle on my body and follow the gym program they have provided me over the last 18 months. Now that i have been able to get into the senior side at glenelg the coaching staff have all but assured me they will pick me up with a father sone pick." that neither benefits the club nor him

Except it's not really his form that will dictate whether he comes to us. As he projects from anywhere between a late first rounder and a 3rd or 4th round pick it's all going to come down to the bidding system I think. As long as he plays well and keeps improving I've got no doubt we will look to have him as a father son nomination but if someone says he's worth a late first round pick we might have to make a tough choice to take him with a second rounder. I'm sure that's the reason for the lack of commitment from both sides. It's the unfortunate problem with the changed father son system that you really don't know if you'll commit to someone unless they are Jack Viney or Joe Daniher level good.

It's the unfortunate problem with the changed father son system that you really don't know if you'll commit to someone unless they are Jack Viney or Joe Daniher level good. the thing is he has to show he is better than the other players around the mark of each pick we have, we don't just pick him because his dad played for us and he's forms okay, we have to pick the best player that's there with every pick, if that means overlooking billy so be it having said that i think he probably will come to us as an early 3rd round pick and that might be abit of a steal, i rate billy about the pick 30 mark atm, but like we saw with Zac Jones last year, solid form could see his standing rise significantly.
Earl Hood 6,167 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Billy Stretch 24 possessions for SA under 18 team's win against Vic Country played today. The kid is looking like a good prospect.
Demanding Success 298 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Billie had 24 possessions today in SA dominant win over Vic Country.
Machsy 2,858 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I wish Billy would pump the brakes a bit. It's important for him to develop well, but a foot stress fracture wouldn't go astray at this stage.
Matt Demon 1,597 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I wish Billy would pump the brakes a bit. It's important for him to develop well, but a foot stress fracture wouldn't go astray at this stage. I'd settle for just doing his hammy
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I'd settle for just doing his hammy Clearly 426.
jabberwocky 2,301 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Clearly time for Billy to be suspended from school for some undisclosed indiscretions.
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Roosy should put in a call telling him to settle down
Machsy 2,858 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Someone just start some 'drunken sex romp' rumours Or rumours that he's mates with Tony Abbott.
RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Someone just start some 'drunken sex romp' rumours I'm not sure about the drunken part, but I did hear that he got stoned and took part in a bondage orgy after the game. He wore his studs for the whole night.
Curry & Beer 5,444 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 wonder if we will see a STRETCH VINEY LOVETT centreline
What 18,810 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Yes Exciting, Cant wait Need to hunt down some footage of the boy
hells bells 2,023 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Apparently he had a good game this week in the SA Under 18s. But needs to work on his disposal.
robbo24 66 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 A bit on Billy Stretch here. Apparently dominated on the weekend. Team high 24 disposals at 75% efficiency. SA win at a Stretch
rpfc 29,044 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Yes, or he was in the bests and they wanted to pun a headline so people would click on it...
Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Someone just start some 'drunken sex romp' rumours We don't want that. The Blues, Filth and Bummers will be queueing up to nab him.
nutbean 8,838 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Or rumours that he's mates with Tony Abbott. or mates with Jack Darling ?
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Or rumours that he's mates with Tony Abbott. I heard he's currently dating the Mad Monk's daughters..... all of them.
Biffen 12,949 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 He has attitude issues and will not be taken in the draft any higher than 60th or so . This is the news we should be circulating about him. The Crows are trying to inflate his worth.
