you guys seem to be bagging him out a lot on the main board - so what in the blue hell is going on with Billy Morrison?

considering you guys used a first round pick on him 2 years ago, something must have gone drastically wrong here - so what's happened (or not happened)?

will he really be delisted?

Pick 17 is barely a first round pick. He's not the first top 20 pick to not make the grade and he wont be the last. He was drafted on speculation based on junior footy form, and it didnt work. Simply not athletic enough nor hungry enough (for the ball, not food). Will probably develop into a good VFL standard full forward, but he's not up to AFL.

Bottom line, it's hard to polish a ********. Noel Judkins fell in love with him after he had dinner with his old man in Ireland. He stuffed his shoulder and didn't play much the year he was drafted, so you can say he showed nothing and we drafted him on that basis. He might very well be a 'quality person' as Mick likes to say, but he can't play and thats all that really counts. I was prepared to give him time but he has the speed and dexterity of a lamp post, no mobility, no chance. Travis who has had an impact in year one has made him redundant.

Brent Hall has made him redundant. Tristan Walker has made him redundant. The rejuvenated Jason Cloke has made him redundant. An inanimate carbon rod would make him redundant.

Hope he goes out on a high and leads Williamstown reserves to a Premiership.

He will be traded to the Bulldogs (under fellow Tasweigans Eade and Clayton) for a late pick and be the tall forward the Dogs have been searching for.

Rawlings kicked eight for Werribee on the weekend. Plus if they are going to pick anybody from the VFL they'll draft Podsiadly who is leading the VFL goalkicking.
