He is in AA form you could see his determination in his eyes in the JLT series.
His body and conditioning are now matching his talent he is now elite.
On ball/ Midfield now with Marshall, Billings, Gresham, Steele, Ross, Steven, Sinclair and others like Newnes, Dunstan and Clark is still maturing bats deep now.
Definitely in contention for AA and could be BB the way he is travelling 'Brownlow Billings' but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm so happy for the young man because there was never any doubting the talent but he's now putting it all together and it's just magnificent.
Read a couple of weeks back an interview in the Herald Sun with veteran fighter Sam Soliman, who said Billings has become a serious boxer. He said something to the effect that Billings is the only AFL player who could last six rounds with him.
You wouldn’t think that to look at Billings, but maybe the fact that he feels he can really take care of himself now has helped his confidence.
As I said in my voting comment he is suddenly a man playing footy. Fantastic
He could do anything this year and beyond.

Great game from Jack yesterday.
The article said that at the end of the training, Jack was crawling out on his hands and knees but absolutely loved it
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Jack's kick after the siren and the roar of approval that followed, was symbolic. The arrival of Billings as an elite player. On the day we saw the arrival of Acres as an AFL player.

I reckon he could have fast forwarded his 'development' if he hung around with a few 'players' who could have 'shown him the ropes' a lot earlier
I suggested when Sammy Fisher was still on our list that I thought it would do JB the world of good to get out on the town over the offseason with Dusty, Swanny, Chips and Armo. Would have had the same effect imo.
edit: scratch that. Doesn't suit JB's character

I heard an interview with Sam on SEN radio and he says that JB had actually gone a full 12 rounds sparring with Sam. Really helped his stamina....and his confidence.
