Jonesy that's gold.
For those that talk about Billings showing glimpses, well Fiora also showed glimpses for 8 years.

As I said, do some research and gather an understanding of modern day footy and roles within it!!!!!BigMart wrote:What

Best we tell Adelaide
Problem is the only club who will stump up a first rounder for Billings has already given us their 2017 first rounder as part of the JOM dealBigMart wrote:First round pick

That's why I'm hoping that Billings becomes the player that delivers it lace out. Has the skills. Just needs to get it more often and be more damaging with it.Kick-it-lace-out wrote:I think folks need to give Paddy a break. The delivery to him yesterday was appalling. In fact the delivery into our forward line overall was shocking. So many times our midfield just kicked long bombs iinto our forwards, that they never stood a chance. So many times Paddy would lead out for the ball, to only have it bombed in well over his head. We also should give Brisbane some credit. They defended quite well and forced us to kick wide inside our forward 50, with many of our shots on goal being on quite accute angles, hence the poor conversion rate.
Paddy will be a star, he has unbelievable presence, but please give the kid a chance. Maybe instead of bagging him, take a look at how our midfield are bringing the ball into our forward 50. Unfortunately our midfield don't have the elite foot skills lof a Dal Santo, Hayes or Goddard.

Good, that, JM.Johnny Member wrote:BigMart wrote:Objectively compare the agility and running capacity of Roughead and Paddy.
Roughead, Cloke, Brown, Hall, Tex and all of those lead up Power Forwards we can compare him to, have one major advantage.
All were also powerful runners, who got separation and had huge engines for big men

How many games had those blokes played at that stage though?Con Gorozidis wrote:Lance kicked 73 goals in his third season
Roughead kicked 40 goals in his third season
*Barry Hall didnt do much until his 4th season.
Walker kicked 150 goals in his first 4 seasons.
Travis Cloke kicked 39 goals in his 3rd season.
*So Barry Hall gives us hope. His 3rd season was an absolute stinker. 6 goals from 13 games.
