All aboard!
Seats will be strictly limited, so jump on while you still can.
Billy is a prodigious runner. Having watched him a few times this season he bolts up and down the wings of Box Hill City Oval, often without reward( which will change over time). It's not uncommon for Billy to be part of a chain of handballs at the half back line only to see him streaming into the forward pocket screaming for the ball to be delivered to him, after running his arse off to make himself dangerous ahead of the play.
He is quite good by foot, and has shown a willingness to take the game on.
On Saturday night he had what Damien Carroll termed his best game for the club since being drafted.
Hartung gathered 25 disposals in the victory, with his run and carry through the midfield of particular importance.
“That was his best game at senior VFL level,” Caroll said.
“He used the ball really well, linked up well and he was able to spread well to help us get a lot of ball on the outside, which helped us with our forward momentum with the footy.
“He’s coming along really well and we’re really happy he could put together that performance.”
So get in early, he's got a way to go, but Billy looks very likely to have his own fan club in no time.
