Player Watch Billy Stretch - delisted

[The Dr]

Really like this kid, clean, quick, makes good decisions.

Secretly hoping you're dumb enough to use him as part of the Hibberd trade.

Thanks for the compliment - but no chance a father-son is going anywhere.

That's like some kinda "Happy Hands Club" (Napoleon Dynamite movie) type thing on acid...

Fortunately they don't have Homer's sweaty hands.

You were kind enough to take Jake off our hands so that gives me a little hope.

Keep dreaming sunshine.

Another bloody good effort from the kid. Has shown plenty this season and certainly surprised me a bit.

Same here... He moves so fast and still makes good decisions. Kids a jet.

Yeah a simple player and very neat. Doesn't get caught either

 

[Topkent]

Very surprised how quickly he's come on
Still a small bastard but such a good decision maker with ball in hand
Rarely blasts the footy, he was of our few players who is capable of finding a team mate with the majority of his touches

 

[Demons Advocate]

He's a proper brave kid. He's not a guy who doesn't see the danger coming, he has very good awareness so you can see him s**t himself and then make a conscious decision to go in anyway.

A wise man once said "the only time a man can truly be brave is when he is afraid".

On Stretch, love the way he is developing. At this rate I don't think he'll suffer from being over hyped but should come along nicely and really compliment our midfield brigade. Decent skills, quick and goes hard enough even though his facial expression clearly show he is shitting them. Good stuff.

I agree, and it's something e you appreciate more when watching in real life too. Has this evasiveness which gets him out of a trouble and allows for a cleaner handball or neat kick rather than 'blasting away' as you said.

How good was his goal in the last?

 

[Canary]

It's amazing how seamlessly he's become a pretty vital member of our midfield. Didn't really have a breakout game but is slowly putting together a collection of solid performances. He generally has the same output in wins and losses as well.

Probably getting way ahead of myself here but premiership teams are won with Stretch-esque players.

 

[LeverPuller]

Important today. He's a lock now for sure

 

[Wizardy]

quickly becoming one of my favourites is stretchy. does all the things a modern mid needs to at a high level.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Most importantly homeboy isn't even 20 yet. Young af

 

[00Stinger]

One of the few players we have where I'm confident he'll pick the best option.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Its easy to talk about Brayshaw Petracca Oliver and Hogan but Stretch is just as impressive and now vital for our outside run and spread.

Seriously underrated

 

[PerfectFooty]

Stetch plays the outside run role well. Very vital to the side now

Yep, and one of the neatest users we've got.
Disposal efficiency is spot on.

 

[Djcjdees]

He's inside too though. Picks up a surprising number of contested possessions.

The main thing he needs to work on his his strength. Have been a few times this year where players have been able to slip out of his tackles. There was one on Breust I think it was where if he'd have stuck it, we'd have run into an open 50. Did all the right work getting into the position to make the tackle, just didn't quite have the strength or stick it.

Ive been saying all year that he's in our top 3 kicks

 

[fushy]

Anyone notice that this is his strategy for not getting caught ?

Your thinking of the one on Gibson when he had him cold as the last man to goal but was thrown off
He's incredibly tough for a small fella

 

[markm106]

How good is this guy going. Gets the footy inside and outside. Great user. Barely rates a mention. Would have to be the most underrated 20yo in the league.
