Welcome to the Western bulldogs Billy Gowers

[Twodogs]

We live in a funny society. That photo would be seen as more offensive than if he was holding a gun.

It is a very funny double standard. Guns kill people, Billy is just having fun in that shot.

Excellent. Lucky bugger. His fishnets are an interesting touch.

I like him already.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I clicked the link, but it certainly wasn't that! I've lived a very sheltered life...

Yep, still can’t kick.

It’s quite embarrassing that a professional athlete can’t execute the main skill in the game.

It’s like having a professional swimmer who wears floaties.

We drafted him knowing this too. What have the club done to fix it? It’s confusing to say the least on many aspects with him and club.

We did, well it shouldn’t be ‘we’ as one man was responsible for his recruitment .. many more learned people pointed this issue out, but it wasn’t viewed to be important by the chief.

And given him two crucial games up front.

Jesus Christ never again please.

Awesome. The worst goal kicking team in the AFL went out and recruited a mature player who's now the worst kick at the club. Awesome.

If we are to play Gowers then maybe it should be as a defender. He is a good mark but from what I've seen he is an unreliable goal kicker.

I thought Gowers was ok today, 13 disposals, 8 marks, including 5 inside 50. His kicking for goal was woeful and could have had at least 2 more goals.

Not sure why people are having a go at him, he is not that mature either at 21. Not the worse today.

Do you see a future for him as a forward? He was a good defender as a junior.

If he can't kick those goals then maybe it is the backline.

Awesome. The worst goal kicking team in the AFL went out and recruited a mature player who's now the first kick at the club. Awesome.

Worst kick. Dunno why but first kick made me laugh. I think it reminded me of somebody.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Horrid by foot but at the very least this bloke has a crack and shows some sort of aggression. A move to the back half could be worthwhile exploring.
