Im happy we drafted Dunstan over him frankly.

dunstan was pick 15, and we know the bigger inside mids always start out quick and the skinnier type kids eventually always catch them, look at ollie at port

 

[King Bont]

Billings will be the more consistent player week in week out and will be better for our team (we have the tall timber and 3rd tall sorted so) Bonts will be the more mercuiral and match winning type who can fill in anywhere.

Pretty much the next gen Buckley and Hird just minus the drugs and figjamness.

Can't go wrong with either! Just wanted everyone's thoughts, thanks guys!!

Holy s**t.

Hey guys, onviously by my name sake I love the kid, but what are your thoughts on Bontempelli? Are you guys still happy you guys drafted jack billings ahead of Bont? (I know it's very early days) and i also know that Billings has massive potential if he can get his body right, but just seems that Bont is that once in a generation player

Noooooo I can't believe we picked Billings because Bonti will be the best player we've ever seen based on a really good preseason game and none of us will be able to sleep at night. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Bonti will be a star, Billings will be a star but that doesn't matter because it's the other 21 players that run out there with them that matter.

Adrian McAdam had a good first 17 games, didn't he?

Once in a generation player meanes he'll finish his career being talked along the lines of Whitten, Matthews, Carey, Ablett ect, i mean it's all good to get excited but I have a feeling you're a young fella getting way ahead of yourself.
Also if you want people to take you seriously you need to get your facts right, Dunstan wasn't pick 15.

For a second year player to be a proven match winner, and be getting the opposition teams #1 tagger at 19 and be playing as a 194 cm midfielder, their just simply isn't many of those that have been produced, a far cry from a Dunstan and Billings type each draft produces 70-80% of those types of players and size

Is the bucket full yet from the amount of crap you've been talking?

When was Ollie skinny?

Never said he was skinny, I meant he was head and shoulders above everyone else in that draft and as the others put size on the gap has narrowed considerably

Bonts will be a brendon Goddard. Great player but he is not a once in a generation.

Infact if I compare Bonts and billings their stat's last year are incredibly even and Bonts is currently in a much better side.

And I'm not knocking him just feel like your overrating him. Which is fine I'm sure we would of done the same. But the real stuff will start in 2 weeks. Let's see how he goes then before you come onto our board calling him a once a generation player.

Sorry mate, I think you're delusional.

Show us the facts where he is a proven match winner? And I really hope for your sake you aren't going to bring up the Nab challenge match against Collingwood on the weekend.

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Let's just wait until Jack Billings *s the dogs in Prelims, shall we.

 

[holllywood]

Saints fan are stoked with Billings who is an elite user of the ball, which we desperately need.

Dogs fans are stoked with Bonts as he has shown glimpses of being a dominant, 194cm midfielder.

And both teams should be happy we passed on Scharenberg (poor bloke).

Where did you get the percentages from?

Can you tell me the percentage of the cap that is going to Boyd?

 

[HayesTheChamp]

I actually don't think so. I'd say Wines is pretty up there, probably in the top 30-40mids in the comp already. He dominated Fyfe in last year's semi final. He's probably gonna explode even more this year, I would take Wines over Macrae FWIW.

This guy needs to change his name to "King Spud"

Because he posts a lot of crap.

 

[saintsrfreak]

For what it's worth, Billings' game against West Coast where he had 25 disposals at 100% efficiency, 8 marks and 3 goals was just as good as Bontempelli's NAB challenge performance.

He's claiming on the dogs board that none of us rate Bont and that we think Dunstan is way better. Cringeworthy stuff.
