Suprise pick.

But i trust Austin & Co. whole-heartedly. So if they like him, I like him.

Welcome to the greatest football club, Billy

 

[LanceRomance]

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle, I had this guy at number 2

 

[Kismet]

Another player with good disposal skills. Like it.

 

[Aphrodite]

Billy the kid welcome

 

[agro]

Ranked 69 - but looks like we have picked for need - with his speed.

 

[Juice030103]

i mean got no clue about him

Feels like an eh pick but he’s one of us now so good luck Billy

 

[BlueGum]

Billy, don't be a hero.

Work hard, love the jumper and give us a way out of the back half. Have fun.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Don't mind it. Had him as the second best running defender after Hastie who was taken the pick before.

Saad isn't getting any younger... Can have a few years under him to learn the run-and-gun style.

Austin’s blurb on Billy makes him sound very impressive…good luck Bill.

 

[BlueTongue]

No Idea on Billy but looking at the AFL live draft highlights he breaks lines and has great footskills which we badly need, so gotta be happy with that.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Welcome Billy - work hard and show us that Austin and Co made a great selection rather than a reach!

Wasn't Fox Footys knock on him that his disposal needed work

 

[LanceRomance]

We want billy willy

Yeah they might’ve been wrong though. Austin is quoted as saying his skills are very good and his highlights suggest so too.

albeit a bit shorter. Great skills. Wheels. Not afraid to take risks and get the ball moving quickly. Exactly what we wanted Austin to target pre-draft.

Go well Billy!

I trust rookiemecentral more than Fox Footy.

Billy Wilson Draft Profile

Dandenong Stingrays vice-captain Billy Wilson is a reliable distributor from the back half with speed and sharp kicking.

[Red Bull]

A local boy to the Blues
Gotta be happy with that

 

[The Bighouse]

1st stop = haircut please. Get serious now!

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Welcome Billy

 

[Burgers45]

I like this selection. He's a draft bolter, ranked 69 by Fox Footy. In the short clip I saw he looks quick with excellent disposal. We need these types, line-breakers from defence with overlap transition.



Billy Wilson (Stingrays/Rosebud): A line-breaker with speed and evasiveness, Wilson reads the play well and makes good decisions. Played his best footy off halfback but was also given a chance in the midfield for Dandenong late in the season.
