The Gresh Prince
Let’s face it the Gresh Prince is the only player we have with x-factor that we can get excited about ( also hoping Jack Steele turns into consistent Beast mode). This is why I hope we get Rankine as he also has x-factor. I digress, back to The Gresh Prince, obviously the articles and logic suggest he is moving to the midfield and I’m sure he has been working very hard on his tank. Evidence page 72 of the herald sun. His legs used to be so thick, they looked like legs of ham. Now they are slim and as that transition has happened in only 3 months he must of worked hard in the off season and I can’t wait to watch him next year. Get around him

Re: The Gresh Prince
I’d say they don’t. Once every 5 weeks maybe. Long too soon to write off as X factor but the other two don’t excite me.

Re: The Gresh Prince
Billings has certainly shown some x factor qualities, especially unusual but brilliant passes, but, as he should, is concentrating on consistency and quality, which he generally achieved in the latter half of this year, and the previous year. Hopefully he keeps improving. Lonie, no.

Re: The Gresh Prince
Long and Gresham. Our 2 biggest X factor players. I would even throw Membrey in there.
Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.
Total = 1.

Re: The Gresh Prince
Righto. Lonie kicked 11 in his last 5 games where Champion Data rated him as elite for score assists and above average for kicking efficiency and forward half pressure. Have a look at Billings 2018 highlights - he also got 30 and kicked 5 in a game against Carlton last year. If that's not X-factor then I'm not sure what is...
27 disps (14 kicks 13 hballs), 6 marks and a goal in Rd 22 4-pt loss to Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium (18 Aug 2018)
25 disps (14 kicks 11 hballs), 7 marks and 2 goals in Rd 21 43-pt loss to Essendon at Marvel Stadium (10 Aug 2018)
27 disps (13 kicks 14 hballs), 8 marks, 5 tackles and a goal in Rd 20 35-pt loss to the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium (4 Aug 2018)
30 disps (17 kicks 13 hballs), 7 marks and 2 goals in Rd 17 64-pt win over Carlton at Marvel Stadium (13 Jul 2018)
24 disps (13 kicks 11 hballs), 9 marks and a goal in Rd 15 2-pt win over Melbourne at the MCG (1 Jul 2018)
27 disps (15 kicks 12 hballs), 6 marks and 4 tackles in Rd 13 2-pt win over Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium (16 Jun 2018)
26 disps (18 kicks 8 hballs), 9 marks and 2 goals in Rd 1 25-pt win over Brisbane at Marvel Stadium (24 Mar 2018)

Re: The Gresh Prince
Another negative Nelly it would seem... Check out JB's highlights for this year. Once the team collectively pull their finger out then I'd expect this to be more in line of what to expect from JB each week.

Re: The Gresh Prince
Billings absolutely has X factor.
X factor is what I would consider being able to do things which change the course of a game that others can't.
Gresham & Billings can do this.
Lonie has some X factor.
Jack Steven has X factor.
Membrey is just a solid player who reads the game well, no real X factor.
Battle may have some, same with Clark and Long… we need more data.

Re: The Gresh Prince
Gresham, Billings and Steven for me, unfortunately to win a heap of games these guys need at least another 10/12 players to stand up and support them otherwise that X factor is wasteddragit wrote: ↑Mon 12 Nov 2018 12:24pm Billings absolutely has X factor.
