Universal Love The Billy Hartung Bandwagon thread

[Coathanger]

Gilpender must be thrashing the keyboard over at the Shinw***er board by now!

 

[seysearles]

Not really, no.

His win/loss % is certainly impressive.

 

[Slysh]

Oh dear please no more Billy Hartung talk in this thread

Not keen on talking about tinned tuna in a big fish thread

 

[TheFourPillars]

He just doesn't take criticism well.

 

[TAITA]

But why is that?
Attitude?
s**t bloke?
His old man?
???

The original Wizard of Oz mate - no brain, no heart and no courage, and did I mention no brain?

He had one job........

 

[Aramis]

Promised the world and delivered an Atlas...great stats for the Nuffies early then dropped away like a turd in a toilet...

Bigfooty poeticism never fails to deliver.

 

[MrPremiership]

Odd delisting.

He played 14 straight until he did his hammy, then hard to get back in. Wasn't he given a automatic 2 year contract as taken via draft? So they're paying him out? Or prob taking back as a rookie?

Might mean they're confident they've landed Polec and Gaff

Or is it his father who can' stand others criticising his 'little willie.'

 

[bag_end420]

What attitude though? Not following instructions?

He obviously works hard on the track.

Given the way the game is heading, it is staggering he is not on a list.

That's his problem... he ONLY works hard on the track. Same with Hill before him. Run and carry only goes so far, at some stage there needs to be development in other aspects of the game like tackling and kicking accuracy. He's always been better suited for marathons than footy.

not odd at all
North wanted him so much they picked him up at the end of the draft, didn't trade for him
They worked out why Hawks didn't care if he left
He was probably on a one year minimum chips deal as he wasn't a first year player or free agent

Nothing wrong with Bradley mate - if Hartung had of spent some time studying his game and modeled his own on it he would be cutting it up for us now.

Clarko would have him back in an instant please stop comparing one of our premiership heroes with Hartung.

Didn't take Wikipedia long to get updated.

"William Hartung (born 24 January 1995) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club and the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL)."

Still remember all the North fans earlier this year when they touched us up st Shitihad, on how did you let this jet go.
Love to see their mugs now!

 

[Brishawk]

Really liked him but Port went with Impey, hoping to see them go one on one over here.

Well this is quite funny in reterospect

Billy now available. Impey at hawthorn

 

[TallyHawk]

I hope Snake_Baker and Groin Guru are coping with this loss.

Lol, the knuckledragger is through. He's clearly picked getting vashnigyered over footy.

 

[Jaeger]

Thought he was okay for North but they are probably confident of landing Polec, maybe also Gaff/Kelly.
No need for Billy if that's the case.

Won't be surprised if another club picks him up cheaply.

 

[LRobbo]

Suppose that’s what’s going to happen to a bloke who is allergic to going near any physical contact.

 

[marklar]

Gilpender must be thrashing the keyboard over at the Shinw***er board by now!

Maybe over at the Saints and Bloos boards looking for one of them to take him on?

What does this mean?

Those lying bastards both told me Billy was better than Issac Smith.

 

[Jables]

His delisting actually makes zero sense at North though, he played every single game before his injury.

He's no Brad Hill but I think he's an acceptable fringe player, gotta be pretty unlucky to get delisted twice in seasons where you've played nearly every possibly game you could. The softness thing I always rolled my eyes at, you see most outside players accused of it, in his first game he completed a tackle with a torn shoulder or something like that grimacing all the while. Crows fans hate Ricky Henderson because he played an outside role, I dunnoh about you but he's pretty great for a reject.

Wasn't crying when he was delisted for us mind especially with Morrison taking his place, just confused a bit and North fans are too.

Only half of what you’ve written is in English.

 

[Hawkboy62]

Maybe a bit of latent racism here. If his name was Zachary Merrett rather than Billy Hartung he would still be on our list.
