I think Billy is a lot better value than you make out EB, at least he has pace, something out list has very little of.  That puts him ahead of plonker like Boyd et al

You think every player is better than people make out.
Every player that gets delisted at seasons end was a good player that year in your eyes.

How come all these players are playing vfl and our afl and vfl teams are largely crap?

That's right, we often see things differently.
We have set ideas about what we look for in players and sometimes their good is maginfied as is the bad depending on those perceptions.
I'm finding that seems to be magnified for some reasons this year...and there is a lot of difference of opinion over individuals.


Agree on the magnification of opinions this season, think its such a crunch year for the club, players and coach that hardcore fans in particular are more critical and less forgiving about failure and impatient about where the direction of the club is going.
I know I am ....

Team: C

3  Pittonet - His best season by far, so far.
3  Cripps - Busted his arse all night. No help from the maggots. If only he could kick.
2  Walsh - On a flyer until our coach stopped his momentum
1  E Hollands - Creative as always. If only he was faster.
1  Haynes - Was a different player after the rain storm in the 3rd
1  Carroll - I think this bloke doesn't get enought credit. Works hard. Good kick
1  McGovern - Consistantly pops up with a couple of goals
1  Newman - Our best defender.
1  McKay - Did not get outmarked. Presented at every opportunity. Brought the ball to ground. Can't ask for more on a wet night.
1  Evans - Don't understand the hate for Frankie. ALWAYS tries to create something from nothing. 6 tackles (4 i50), 5 I50's and kicks a goal. Not bad for the little man

Thats fair enough Prof, each to there own with opinions on players, Im probably swimming against the tide with regards my views on Billy but we will see how he works out for the season.

Sorry but Wilson would be delist material if I was list Manager, wouldn't get a game at any other club imo.
Getting cheap possessions in the VFL and then picking him and playing on the best player in the comp would be the type of lunacy our MC and coaching staff specialize in...

We'll bookmark this one and see how it pans out. ;)  :D
A few of Billy's cheap possessions.

His attributes are exactly what we need, is he ready to go? If so, get him in.

Wilson is a VFL player and regardless how fast he can run you cant put that calibre of player on the best player in the comp and expect to get a reasonable result.
