Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Do you think Longer could pat his head and rub his tummy at the same time?

Probably not, but Hickey.couldn't do either at the moment and that's the whole f****** problem!!!!!Goose is king wrote:Do you think Longer could pat his head and rub his tummy at the same time?

Witts and Wright both towelled him up tonight. 18 kicks, 10 marks and 3.3 compared to 1 kick... @_o

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Hardly gets to any marking contests around the ground. And when he does he has absolutely no impact on it.

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Could we go into a game without a ruckman at all?
Say use the seventh defender as a ruck in the back half and the nearest reasonably tall player elsewhere.Would give us an extra midfielder with which to try and compete around the ruck contest.

Witts - 9 kicks, 4 marks, 6 tackles, 31 hitouts, 1.1, 109 DT
Longer - 1 kick, 0 marks, 3 tackles, 30 hitouts, 0.0, 58 DT
And we all know how much of a gun Witts is...
Clear enough?

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Billy unfortunately does not seem to be a "footballer". Even if he does win a number of possessions he does not seem to be ever able to use them to an advantage.
He wins quite a few taps outs, but does not really seem to direct them.
Against Mummy he was excellent, but in his other games he has not really been able to exert any real positive influence.

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Someone needs to tell him he is allowed to put his arms above his head and go for the ball with his hands - he looks like Timmy Cahill trying to compete against a team full of goal keeperskosifantutti wrote:Hardly gets to any marking contests around the ground.

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Have you seen him get the ball in general play? Throws the hands up to get the ball above his head so arms aren't pinned, then just stands there like that. It's like he doesn't know how to dish it off.saint6709 wrote:Someone needs to tell him he is allowed to put his arms above his head and go for the ball with his hands - he looks like Timmy Cahill trying to compete against a team full of goal keeperskosifantutti wrote:Hardly gets to any marking contests around the ground.

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
We have him on the team virtually as ballast. He's there to contest ruck duels and that's about all he can do.
I don't see the harm in us looking to recruiting or trading for another ruckman come end of season.

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
Would be disappointed to see him play again this year. If Hickey not available give Holmes or Pierce a chance - couldn't do any worse!

Probably scared of the contact it would create. Also seems very lazyGoose is king wrote:Do you think Longer could pat his head and rub his tummy at the same time?

Witts and Wright have Lynch; they rotate them around for a chop out, and we want to have a crack at Billy's numbers?
It wasn't his best game by any measure, but I could have lived without the Bronz cheers at the ground from some of our "faithful".
Always loyal
Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
He was farking hopeless... Witts flogged him, and he's rubbish!!!!
Tom was also flogged yesterday
Pierce probably flogged in the thirds
I'd actually go Holmes

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
If Hickey's currently not up to it then give Holmes a go.

Re: Longer - say it loud and proud
What game were you guys watching? There were times when Billy was the only saints player trying to win a contested ball in the middle against 3-4 suns players. This happened more then once. I don't think he's lazy, he's not very good, but you shouldn't question his intent

He's a trier alright, I don't think anyone questions that.
