Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
I would hate to see DeGoey as a Saint. The bloke has a massive question mark over him. Billings is hopefully not going anywhere and I hope he has a great season. I’m guilty of being to critical of Billings.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

9.999 out of 10 AFL fans would laugh their arses off at that suggestion and take De Goey over billings in less than a heart beat, hell I'd even offer to help pack Billings bags and order him an Uber to his new club.happy feet wrote: ↑Tue 29 Mar 2022 9:01pm I would hate to see DeGoey as a Saint.

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
Wouldn't there need to be an all members motion passed to waive the no dickheads rule? (could mention the possibility of Stringer coming over as an incentive to vote).
Am still trying to remember Jack B being marshmallow-ish - can you refresh my pitiful memory?
Can remember him kicking a bag of 5 to win us a game and slotting some beauties from acute angles, can remember some terrific pack marks on his chest. Just can't remember him squibbing, but I guess it might come to me....no can't remember.
Oh, can remember him playing early last year with a serious and painful foot injury, playing through the pain stuff, but I guess that sort of courage doesn't count? So when did he do the marshmellow thing......

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
@ YORKEYS Your memory will be refreshed when he returns to the side after his hamstring injury as to how often he takes those great chest marks as to how often he kicks those bags of 5 as to how often he drills them both sides of his body left and right foot as to how often he is at the bottom of a pack.
Cannot qait for his return and winning ganes for us.

I keep hearing how Billings was having a great season early last year, was that when we were flying and considered a finals chance, or was that after round one and we were being smashed by on a regular basis.

I think it was before round 5 when he was injured in the warm up against richmond.
We were 2 wins 2 losses and Billings was like Sinclair so far this season.

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
DeGoey plays some good games and a lot of average ones
He is Jake Stringer befor last season
Capable of great, but generally average
Could be a top 20 player in the AFL but is not
Fans rate him because they do what fans do …. Judge players on their best… not necessarily their actual output.

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
He'll give us better service than the bloke on $800 K who Lethlean brought to St Kilda
De Goey brings his best when it is demanded and he's got a good record in finals. He is a proven match winner.
Do we want to try and win a flag or not?
We had our chance to recruit Dustin Martin before Richmond became a powerhouse Football Club and he became a super star but we shhaat our pants
Does St Kilda FC exist only to make up the numbers and provide fodder for the likes of the top teams?
Does De Goey have any existing criminal charges hanging over his head or has he had a conviction of some sort? I understand it's a only few misdemeanors
Did Trout interview him?

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
Can he do any worse than play 15 games in 5 years ?
Is a d!ckhead but certainly has X factor on the field which we need more of.
Why not ask the question- but I doubt he leaves Collingwood.

You'll be waiting a while Yorkeys.

They are mired in their own perceptions of him, wishing he was the Bont. I think we all wish the Bont played for us but the Bont was not rated Top 3 at the time we drafted Billings.

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
When I think of who I'd like Billings to morph into I think of Geoff Cunningham. Now there's ya mans-man. Take me back to the that era please when rehydration after a game was done with VB and Marlboro cigs. And the guy knew how to wear a moustouch. Someone should get him down to the club and mentor Max on the mastery of intimidating facial hair.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Wed 30 Mar 2022 8:42amYou'll be waiting a while Yorkeys.

Re: Should we try and get De Goey as a Free Agent???
I miss those days. Joffa was a legend. He played on one of mates in the ressies one day at Moorabbin. He was actually playing full back and actually taught my mate how and when to lead out from the square. My mate was stoked because he was still a Saints supporter but happened to get picked up by Melbourne.Vortex wrote: ↑Wed 30 Mar 2022 9:39amWhen I think of who I'd like Billings to morph into I think of Geoff Cunningham.

There is an old saying, you lay down with dogs you will catch fleas. We don’t need any DeGoey fleas, let them stay at the filth. Billings does not come with baggage and rhe risk of unacceptable behavior.Vortex wrote: ↑Tue 29 Mar 2022 9:13pm9.999 out of 10 AFL fans would laugh their arses off at that suggestion and take De Goey over billings in less than a heart beat, hell I'd even offer to help pack Billings bags and order him an Uber to his new club.happy feet wrote: ↑Tue 29 Mar 2022 9:01pm I would hate to see DeGoey as a Saint.
