Universal Love The Billy Hartung Bandwagon thread

[Dave Id]

What does this mean?

Drunk.

 

[Brishawk]

Seriously, we should get Billy back to the Hawks.

He certainly would fill a need

As someone to clean Conor Nash's boots

Water boy?

 

[macdaddio]

They got one up on us with Jed

Not really, he’s had one good year in how many years with them.

Water boy?

read the white text.

 

[Glacier]

This thread is pretty harsh, getting stuck into an ex player after he’s been delisted
Poor form I think

Not in this case mate.

Remember 'if you embrace Hawthorn, Hawthorn will embrace you'?

Billy didn't.

Surely clubs like Gold Coast or Carlton could give him a game.

Fair enough

 

[jameses]

You don't think you are all a bit harsh on Billy? What's with the vitriol?

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Hartung believed he belonged and was devastated in 2015. His opportunity was missed and he never truly recovered. Lacked desperation and aggression.

The north delisting was justification for a player who was always a downhill skier that lacked hardness and talent going the other way. Selfish comes to mind for Billy and he will not be remembered. May be drafted by Bolton ...

KOLOKOTRONIS

 

[Milkshaker]

North getting Polec imo. A North mate tied up with AFL Tas is convinced they have Gaff sorted as well. Add academy prospect Tarryn Thomas who is a massive talent and Billy was going to feel the squeeze.

GCS should rookie him.

(Not convinced they have Gaff)

Water boy?

He would be the fastest water boy ever!

 

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

Even if he thought he was better than he was I wish him the best of luck. It’s a tough competition and the majority of the players are arrogant to a degree, it’s what gives them an edge mentally over players in lesser leagues. Look at US sports.

Confidence in your ability is required.

But, listening to coaches on how to improve is more important.

Scapegoat.

Haven't followed Norf much last few months so was surprised to read he as been delisted and indeed on the outer recently.
Seemed to be a lot of buzz about him in the first few rounds and thought he had turned the corner.

Sad if the post about a family member having a run in with a staff member is true.

Saw Josh Williams was cut as well. Is he worth a rookie spot somewhere ? What is his dad like ?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

What's this about Hartung's old man? Typical deadbeat footy dad?

A lot of buzz = he was at about his usual level of output, which for us earned him whipping boy status but for Norf meant a B&F contender.

 

[LuckyHawk]

Billy should have been a jockey, had the two main attributes - small in stature and a loud mouth.

 

[The Bearded Hawk]

Delete thread, move on.

 

[bag_end420]

yea i noticed he was very demanding when he was at the hawks too, had an attitude on him especially around the coaches at training, too bad he couldnt handle a contact sport, i reckon he'd make a fine netballer or soccer player...

Track and field.

 

[Vyrone Trickery]

What’s the story re Papa Hartung?

 

[hamohawk1]

Reckon he has too much speed and elite endurance for a team not to at least rookie list him
