Universal Love The Billy Hartung Bandwagon thread

[MC_9]

Billy is our bad luck sub. Has only come on after major hamstring injuries to our best players.

Hopefully next game he is in the best 21.

Gun

His kicking is elite. WOWEE

 

[jiphoc]

Why hasn't this thread been bumped.....
Was great again .......composure ....tick.

Yes although he struggled to get into the game in the last quarter which hurt us.

Has shown a lot in his 2 games as sub. Still a long, long way to go.

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

Seems to have been a good pick up for you guys. These two head to head would be tantalising.

 

[Buckemenico]

Clear AFL standard and great pickup. The way the game is headed, elite pace endurance and kicking skills is invaluable to the breaking the rolling maul. Well done hawks,

 

[hawkstars]

Needs a full game

 

[PenAndPaper]

Will play against port. Will need his run at the end of the game to combat ports

Yep for that reason I think he should start.

 

[MoscowHawk]

What a goal tonight!

Dermie called him "Sonic the Hedgehog" a couple of weeks ago. It's such a fitting nickname.

 

[lethal03]

Seems high class to me.

 

[Davo-27]

great goal and has high energy, another quick youngster, can't wait until he has got the body and tank for 22+ AFL games per season, i reckon he will be inspired to work hard in the pre-season so he can be that type of player next yr or the year after........

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

You'll never be able to catch the Billy Hartung wagon!

 

[Furn2]

Where are we at with nicknames for this kid?

The Kid?
The Tongue?
The DJ, as per Gibbo?



Or just plain-old "Twenty"?

El Chivato

Seems high class to me.

Do people know whether we can play 3 runners, Hill/Hartung/Smith in same team in future as they all seem pure outside runners. They don't seem to be able to do the inside work like Langford can. They cannot win their own ball. I know he has endurance and speed.

Do people know why Lewis Taylor who was talked about a late top 10 slipped to Brisbane, we overlooked him. He seems to have more meat on him. WHat is his advantage/disadvantage to Hartung, he has some speed too, assume not the endurance.

 

[Pessimistic]

Surprised he didnt get on the park at half time

 

[Hawks_2008]

I think he can develop himself into an 'inside' player. He shows this consistantly in VFL games. Just needs to take the next step. Would like to see him play 4 quarters.

Compared to Sammy interestingly enough maybe because of the kicking on both sides but what really seems Sammyesque to me is his lightning fast good decision making

 

[grumbleguts]

50 DT points in a single qtr of football is pretty decent for a 1st year player.

as a nickname how about Victor Chang (The h(e)art specialist)

And playing for Hawthorn, you know he will get murdered

Good point.

I used to work with the victor chang heart research institute designing molecules to mitigate heart pump function for blood pressure meds. He was an absolute legend. What a travesty.

 

[threesixpio]

What about Dr Reitz the first person to perform a H(e)art (l)ung transplant?

Or maybe a Heart Toungue transplant? Has that ever been performed?

I felt bad for joking about it. Terrible thing to happen

This along with 10 disposals and a goal. Seems to play much better as a sub. Round 7 is another fine example of this.

I'd rather him burning opposition on the outside with his partner in crime Hill
