Honestly a pick in the 20s would be right but the saints would never agree to that given what they gave up for him.

Billings wouldn't get a game for us and this is from someone who was a massive fan pre-draft.

Happens at every club every year because that is how they are taught to interact with the media.

Going to have to start doing that with 2016....and 2017....and 2018....and 2019.....and 2020...and...

I've been watching out for 16s but don't see many. Have to reprogram the brain after all this time

 

[bontshow]

Billings has got skills, I can see him developing in the Eddie Betts mould

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Stevo saying just after he announced Caleb's re-signing that the talks with JJ would be much more complicated.

As long as it's drawn up into their contract that they can't support Chelsea.

Didier Drogba is my spirit animal.

I know that after the game in 2015, and again in round 4 2016, some saints fans were going on about billings>bont, but I reckon we should let it go now. It's not even close, we know it, they know it. Just let it go.

 

[jdz101]

I still think Billings will come good. Not Bontempelli good but good nonetheless.

You could have 5 drafts with high picks in each and not get a player that's bontempelli good.

Would have no issues if this was the case... but a fair few are still pushing that Billings is going to be better. E.g the "Billings has the look of genius in his eyes that Bontempelli doesn't".

I usually ignore/avoid crackheads.

The joke here being that Bontempelli already IS a Genius, and the poor saints supporters are still hoping based on a look in his eyes. If they want to know what the eyes of a genius footballer look like, tell em to check out the number 4 in the red white and blue.

Ahh. It's the eyes!
See I think my problem is that I've been looking at their respective stats, skills and success. I should have been looking at their eyes.

Very true. Look at Gold Coast.

Holy s**t did someone actually say that?

 

[Super Hans]

Holy s**t did someone actually say that?

Yep.

So while their dumbarse supporters continue to talk complete an utter garbage like that, I'll keep bringing up the Bontempelli/Billings argument. Atleast until they retire/get delisted..

 

[compact72]

Yep.

So while their dumbarse supporters continue to talk complete an utter garbage like that, I'll keep brining up the Bontempelli/Billings argument. Atleast until they retire/get delisted..

Loved that FAT T0NY has liked it already

 

[compact72]

Well that's awkward

 

[AFDogs]

Why are we even caring about this stuff?

 

[Super Hans]

Why are we even caring about this stuff?

Because we're petty. We copped it all year from them arseholes about Boyd, no chance in hell they aren't getting it back.

 

[Ozil]

Yeah I'm not about that magnanimous, enlightened, perspective-having s**t.

Time to give a bit back.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Yep.

Holy s**t, I never knew such delusion existed

I'll happily support that assertion as soon as Billings is the B&F in a premiership side at age 20 and smashes all time champion data records for players under 21.

Billings is more likely to again feature in your Bottom 50 Mofra.
