Draft Profile Billy Stretch

[LeverPuller]

Trying to dig up info on him. He's Steven Stretch's son, will qualify for F/S for Melbourne. Plays for Glenelg - may be U18s this year, otherwise he's top end U16s. Anyone got anything on him, his play style etc?

I honestly don't even know if he's a 2014 or 2015 prospect.

2014 prospect, will be bottom age 18s this year.

If he isnt a Ruck I would be seriously upset for his namesake.

He's playing u18's this season. He's been ok, not going to get excited yet, in his last game he had 34 touches and 6 goals, but let's wait to see how he goes next year when he's playing against kids his own age.

And yes, I was being sarcastic, I'm a bit excited over Billy.

Think he might be making a debut in the Ressies this week, not named in the u18s after a 34 disposal, 6 goal performance.

I just came across this article today and wondered If any of the draft gurus have any info or have heard anything about Billy?

As I understand It he's been invited to SA U18 tryouts, would be a good effort to make the cut as an underage kid.

SA lad who is eligible for melb fson. Rubbish rule.

Dad a former Melbourne player, kid loves the Dees - good rule.

Why does it matter where the kid lives?

It's a great rule.

Can always do a marc murphy if he wants, players can go where they want when they are good enough

Just because he's from SA? What's the difference to the normal draft with kids having to move states? No guarantee he'd go to Port or the Crows anyway.

Kids from SA move to Victoria all the time and vice versa.

That's true. I just don't like the rule at all. All draftees are equal except some are more equal than others and get to choose where they go. Kill the rule entirely. And I say this wiht the Crows now finally having some kids coming through that might be F/S relevant.

The kid used to wear the Demon costume at AAMI games, don't think he'll be doing a Murphy.

quality player. will go round one next year

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

What chance this lad gets a 2nd chance at it, seemed quite impressive when given a run in the 1s.

Hasn’t got better since 2016. Think he tried to bulk up too much which affected his outside ability

At his best a great runner with poise using the footy.
