Yes. It's so obvious what he should have done that it's not even a learning opportunity.
As stupid as it was, I sincerely hope that the staff and players are supporting Billy. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, who would take a mistake like that to heart.Comment

And after watching the replay multiple times, it was a really poor call from Easton Wood in the corridor. As a leader, he should really have known better than to even consider giving Billy that option.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
Having slept on it, you can find one positive in that Billy presented as an option late on, which worked. If he’s any chance to sustain a league career he just needs to learn from what he did next.
From his earlier efforts, it seemed he was given instruction to crash packs and provide a physical presence, which is something outside of Bruce the forward line has lacked. On a dry day, he may have had more impact.
I’ll back him in if he’s picked next week (weather depending) but don’t think he will beFloat Along - Fill Your LungsComment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
The public opinion of him is a joke. He's easily one of the All Australian back pockets this season but some would genuinely have you believe he's the reason we won't win big games because haha small man can't mark ball brrr.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
Agree Daniel is underappreciated. He can get done once in a marking contest and all of a sudden the commentators are banging on about how he's being exposed and teams are taking advantage.....
His footy IQ is really only matched by Pendles. It's off the charts and his ball use (as we know) is first rate.
My only question at times is if we could do with him playing further up the ground, delivering into F50 because our entries can be a mess.W00F!Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
Daniel has always had far more success competing aerially than he has any right to. Sure put him one on one with a good tall forward and he'll get outmarked more often than not but against anyone sub 193cm he'll normally kill the contest if he has to.
Even as a mid we'd often kick to him in situations where he had to stand his ground and take a hit to mark the ball and he'd always do it.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
He's an absolute jet. The more people dismiss him the more they don't take him killing them seriously, and I'm ok with that.
I've said it before, and others have said it also, but he's actually an excellent one on one defender all things considered. He's mastered the art of applying body pressure in an aerial contest without giving away a free.
Sure, he might get caught one out occasionally (and he's hardly on his own there anyway) but I think that's more to do with a system breakdown than anything else."It's over. It's all over."Comment
