He's 22 so the kid excuse has a very short lifespan by this point.
I think it's appropriate. He does some poor and selfish things, messes up simple opportunities but also pulls things out of no where and creates chances that weren't there.
He does indeed both rule and suck.

I must say he needs a new barber. With so many good players at our club, no doubt the boys will put the heat on him to lift. Lift BG.

He kicks goals, I like Billy. Genuine goal sense and a strut is a positive on a list that has a lot of 'nice' guys on it.

Re: Billy Gowers (BG) You both rule AND suck
Just have to treat Gowers as a bit of fun.
He'll do some good things, he'll do some bad things, but it will average out to be a plus and it will be great fun along the way.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

I agree.
It's never going to be a dull moment with Billy. He appears to be a heart & soul player too.

Another 2 goals from Billy. What we need.

Re: Billy Gowers (BG) You both rule AND suck
If he can average 2 goals a game I think we would all be happy with that.
Could you put Hunter under a simular title?

Re: Billy Gowers (BG) You both rule AND suck
He is the replacement to Stringer and if you compare the two they are very similar in doing the amazing but we got the better deal as Billy won’t die not trying, he is fit,he wants to be successful and is fully committed, I think if we looked at stats since the Stringer move , Gowers would be ahead in everything.
Not a bad deal when Billy came as cheap as chips.
I don’t regret the clubs decision at all.
More to spend in the cap and a better consistent player.
Bring back the biff

He also misses sitters. I like Billy. I like the mecurial x-factor about him, BUT, he is the type of player that will lose you a GF through errant kicking as much as win you one with a bit of play that is breathtaking.

This I agree with. I'd take Gowers over Stringer any day, specially after watching the Ess vs GWS game from the weekend. Gowers will continue to grow, and he has great swagger about him.
Frustrating at times, sure, but I think we all feel that with how the dogs are up forward.

Couldn’t agree more. Love him but gee it’s frustrating when he has 2 acres of space, is 35m out in front and he chips it across his body to a contest.
Imagine if he was a regular goal scoring mid.

Makes the ridiculously hard look easy but can also make the easy look ridiculously hard. Likes to try and sneak out the back for the cheapies but looks a better player leading up to the ball carrier. Stringer Version 2 (just costing us a little less).

From memory he played mainly as a defender in his TAC days and I wonder if that might be his more natural position.

Hunter is great, won the B&F last year but his kicking can be poor even without pressure. Hope he gets on top of it.

He was delisted by Carlton after playing as a defender.
We lack goal sense as a team, anyone with real goal sense needs to be played forward.
We're also stacked for medium defenders.
