Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
I thought you posted recently, you weren't replying to posters anymore? You were just doing a hit 'n run job now. You would be posting your opinion but not engaging in any retorts etc.To the top wrote:No doubt you have backed Longer and Geary for the Brownlow quinella?
They are both at "Write your own ticket" odds to get a vote.
Ordinary players.
Ordinary results.
So, 99 change hands.
The real problem with Longer is that, as yesterday again confirmed, we can not use him as an around the ground option.
He has no presence except for crashing a ruck contest, if he can get to it.
And come the heat of Finals football that will be telling - as a significant negative for St Kilda.
Has stonecold sucked you in????? Look out, stoney might lure you into reading the Murdoch media shortly!!!!!

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
Billy played well against the Eagles. So did Jack Billings. So did Shane Savage. So did Luke Dunstan. Four much-maligned players who have kept their heads up and are coming good! Rather than take pot shots at other posters, I find it a good opportunity for us ALL to celebrate!

I dont know the intent or inference that the OP wrote this thread - but I took it in the same vein that T Hickey cost us the game against EFC (which you whole heartedly would concur)
As for my footy knowledge - Im assuming it is around abouts similar to yours - maybe more maybe less - it matters little here, & cudos for your staunch support of B Longer over all others
However where we really differ is your belief that the future of ruck work amounts to pure 50/50 tapwork or in other words a dinosaur
AS i said previously if you do then you go into the game an onballer down. Today you need a player who can leap, is quick, skillful by hand and foot, can take a clutch mark in a pack in attack and defence, can kick a goal, and have more endurance than his direct opponent.
Has P Ryder been mentioned before?
ok thats a bit cheeky - sorry

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
Sunsaint, no need to say sorry, everyone on here is entitled to their opinion, yours is different to mine, that's fine!!!!!
Disagree though on any player costing a game in the AFL, (Billy Longer, Tom Hickey or anyone else), but that's just my opinion!!!!!
As for the bigger physical ruckmen, well they are coming back!!!!!
Happy to agree to disagree and move on, at least you have smelt the Humble Pie!!!!!
Bit cheeky on my part!!!!!![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
I take the blame for our losses.
Each time we lost, I had worn my Saints polo shirt before the game.
Tempted as I was to wear it here in Perth last week,
to show the local trailer park trash, I resisted.
It's still hidden in the cupboard like the Man in The Iron Mask- not to see the light of day.

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
There is little doubt that Billy is significantly better than the 2015 model. It shows the value of regular senior football to aid development. I doubt he'd have improved if he'd been languishing in the VFL. The downside is that through a combination of injury and a lack of opportunity (exactly what Billy endured last year) Hickey has regressed. What a dilemma. Hickey's best is very good. Billy's form has been on a steady upward trend all year.
They both offer very different benefits. Hickey was almost an extra midfielder last year. Billy's aggression and strength around the stoppages helps our mids. He's also starting to get more of the ball. At 23, he's still,a long way from his peak. It's a pity there doesn't appear to be room for both in the side. Neither offers enough as a potential forward. That's where Rowan Marshall comes in. He can play forward, back and pinch hit in the ruck. That's if he continues his development over the summer. If all three remain on the list, preseason rucking exercises could get interesting! Kudos to Billy. He was offered as potential trade last year. Now he's our number one ruckman.

Inaccurate kicking for goal has cost us games.
Poor decisions around the ground. Etc etc
One player can't be saddled with the blame.
They say ruckmen get better with age- lots of upside here

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
Right then, so if Billy gets towelled up this week, (against a bloody good ruckman) you will put your hand up and say you got it wrong and you have no idea about footy??? I doubt it. He's been toweled up countless times this year. A week is a long time in footy.stonecold wrote:thejiggingsaint wrote:Billy played well against the Eagles. So did Jack Billings. So did Shane Savage.

People are entitled to their opinions on Billy. I myself was rapt with his game on the weekend. I also agree with TTT in that he has a long way to go with regards to his ground ball work and also marking in the air, decision making etc. Sunday his ruck work was quite exceptional though and he had presence in the packs. He's by no means a star and I hope he becomes one - but I doubt it. If he can play like he did on Sunday on a consistent level I'll be very happy though.
These 'I told you so' threads are extremely tiring and pointless. We do all barrack for the same club. I personally don't have a favourite player per se, I don't care if Jack Lonie comes in and kicks 6 goals or Roo kicks 6. We all just want to win.

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
Whether Billy gets beaten or not this weekend is irrelevant to me. Gawn was AA last year, and along with Ryder (will be AA this year) is the best in the business. I do care that he gives 100% effort and continues his improvement and gives a good account of himself. I think he will be pivotal in our 2019 / 20 tilt at a flagMoods wrote:Right then, so if Billy gets towelled up this week, (against a bloody good ruckman) you will put your hand up and say you got it wrong and you have no idea about footy???

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
Shall do. Clearly we watch the game differently and that ok. Just dont understand the time and effort that goes into raining hate on a developing player for a club you support. i didnt say he was a brilliant footballer, just said he is developing well and will be really good in 2 years (2019 / 20) when it matters most.To the top wrote:1. 7. 1. 29

right now i think he is playing very well and is our best ruckman by some margin.

I do not disagree that Billy could develop into a better ruckman and a very good player. I love his effort, his aggression and he is obviously liked among the group but...
I mean c'mon! WTF is going on when Longer gets more coaches votes than Billings. I just watched the second half for the third time (once live at the ground and now twice on the tv).

Re: Billy Cost Us The Game
I also thought Acres was excellent including the handball he fed at the centre bounce after WCE reduced the margin to 1 point
