Welcome to the Western bulldogs Billy Gowers

[Bulldog4life]

Apart from his playing prowess I love Bill's enthusiasm for the contest and his bullish way of giving it to the opposition. Mitch Wallis mentioned on television on Sunday that Billy was a leader too. A great compliment for a player just starting out too.

Brad Lynch also mentioned he plays like a 200 game player and was the first on gameday to settle him down pre-game.

Love ya Billy.

Love that he always gives a contest. If it's in his vicinity he will almost always have an influence on the contest, and despite his mistakes I love that unlike many on our list he isn't afraid to try stuff and back himself in when he gets it.

Here is your 2018 WBFC Leading Goal Kicking Medalist

20 Games
26 Goals - 20 Behinds

(2017 was 24 Goals by Picken & Stringer - So he's the highest single year goal kicker for two full seasons. In his first year as a rookie)

[bulldogtragic]

Or another way to put it.... In the years since the Premiership, no senior listed or rookie listed player has kicked more goals than Billy Gowers.

Billy Gowers has had an excellent first year. Like the way he plays.

Really good year. Great presence he has been up forward. Scored a goal at least in the first 8 rounds of the year.

Billy has fractured his wrist in a car accident. I now understand the joke on Instagram where he was asking when preseason starts.

This year's leading goalkicker will be sidelined for a short period as he recovers http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-11-02/exciting-bulldog-fractures-wrist-in-car-accident

What is it with car crashes lately? Smith & Collins (I think was the passenger) English & now Gowers.

Looking at the phones might be one explanation Hopefully this won't impact Gowers too much and the good news is everyone is OK.

Actually there are a lot of car accidents lately now that you mention it.

Glad he is ok. I really like the way he attacks the ball. He has that get out of my way attitude we need. Remember Max Rooke used to put fear in the opposition with his tackling. Just watched the last Quarter of the prelim and the Grand final. We were ferocious at the ball and the man. We really miss M Boyd. He was a brick wall to try get past. Hope billy has a big year and no second year blues
