And I think Billings kicking is overrated his set shots under pressure are always a disappointment
But hey you’re all for stats.....and that’s all that matter right?
However, sometimes they are all you have to try to sway a person's view when they don't watch games, or watch games with a unfavorable prepossession towards some players.

Good move by dogs. Removes the problem of Billings killing it every time he plays them.
So you are searching everywhere for ideas to get rid of Billings? Where's that one from? ........ Ah, BF ... Thanks Pebbles.

Re: Tom Phillips??
Trading Billings????
Can I ask, and I'm sure many forumites would agree, that the source of these type of rumours please be posted. Love to know where this stuff originates. That way if I start reading "someone posted on big footy" I can immediately stop and move to another thread.
Cheers.

Re: Tom Phillips??
Don't want Billings as a mid - Ratts has already indicated he wants him to spend more time forward as he hits the scoreboard, and moving between HF and wing & even around half back, plus a bit of mid time.Teflon wrote: ↑Tue 20 Oct 2020 8:01pmErr....if it secures us a gun mid that Jack ain’t and ever gonna be....come on down Dunkley!!takeaway wrote: ↑Tue 20 Oct 2020 7:34amGood move by dogs.

Billings vs Dogs? You're right, no need to go back 4-5 years. Sorry, no option but to use stats for reasons outlined in earlier post.
Let's see, last 3 H & A games ..... 2020 - 24 disposals, 3 goals, 2019 - 27 disposals 2 goals, 2018 - 27 disposals and a goal. Even the final this year, was tagged, and not as prolific, but was part of quite a few vital plays which resulted in goals or saving goals. Likely would not have won without him. Suggest you have a look at the game, Billings is No.15.
Seeing you won't get anywhere this year, suggest you revisit your trade JB topic next year, he will be RFA, that will give you more excitement. Unless Club re-signs him beforehand of course, which is very likely.
