So he kicked a few points today. Lets trade him. I haven't even seen the game today, but I bet he was in the best again as a 19 year old.
No delist him, at seasons end, he hasn't won us a premiership this year.
I mean isn't that what everyone expects?
I remembers bj being bagged out like this as well, and Lenny.
Billings has class all written all over him, and comparing him after a handful of games to others is idiocy at the highest levels.

He's shitting all over Salam and on par with Bonty.

Better than both in my opinion wand will be an absolute star

Did you actually watch his game today?
In a very poor team he did all the right things. Ran to right spots at the right time. Took a good mark. The only ting that spoilt his game today was his kicking was not as good as it normally is. So we know that is not an ongoing problem.
HF is a hard place to play. When your team is getting thumped it is a bad position to be playing. As it is he gained 20 disposals. Joey was midfield and only got 13.
Kid oozes class.
Nah, don't have foxtel, only the radio lol.. unfortunately couldnt be at the match today.. good to hear he had a good game

Certainly an argument for Billings. Both been very good. Actually all the teams that got Aish, Kolojdashnji, Kelly, Billings and Bontempelli will be very happy so far.

Is your judgment based on listening to games on the wireless, or have you actually seen him play?

Yeah I've seen him play at the match and on tele, saw him in his best game against Essendon and that really good game he had a couple of weeks ago against WC
God damn. People on here have such short memory's. Just tonight I've read posts about how none of our young guys look like becoming the next dal/Goddard/Montagna ect ect.
Goddard was one of the sookiest and softest players when he was young and was looking like a complete rubbish number 1 pick.
2010 was when he really found some serious form and consistency. He was good before then obviously. But that's really when he came to be a star.
Montagna was pretty rubbish early on. Soft outside inconsistent runner.
Kids need bloody time. They aren't just going to come out and be fantastic.
Last week the kid had 25 touches at 100% and kicked goals.
And now people are questioning him.
Some of the comments in this thread are solid evidence that the availability of illicit drugs in this country is at a very concerning level.
Have we seriously got people suggesting that an 18 year old kid after a dozen games in the forward line of a team getting routinely smashed by over 12 goals is a bad number 3 draft selection, despite racking up 23 disposals a week ago at 100% DE ???
There are some serious flogs inhabiting this joint. You should all pray like hell that we can convince this kid to stay with us after the end of next year.....

IF you look around the room and can't identify who the sucker is, then it's probably you!
I'm happy with him, if we chose one of the other guys, billings wouldn't be in a uncompetitive team and we would all be saying " maybe we should have picked that guy ", he would shine in other teams whose % isn't 50%.

First year, no preseason, missed most of 2013, and is playing in worst team as a forward!
He is a gun and will make people look very silly, but what would you expect from the morons on this page.
This site is now full of wanker sooks who can F*** off as far as I am concerned.
Billings in a top 4 team would easily be the best prospect from the draft.
Think a few people need to log off for a few years, this site is depressingly sad.
I'm glad someone said it!! This KID had a seriously interrupted preseason after playing bugger all footy in 2013. He is now being asked to play as a small forward in the worst team in the league.
Despite all that he has been in our best handful of players, a shining light in a pretty dark period.
Surely most have watched enough footy to understand that his limited preseason and fitness levels have hampered his kicking skills.
He will be a star. What he is doing at the moment is remarkable.

Agree with you personally he will be fine.
Jack Steven is more the worry making heaps of mistakes ..basic kicking always rushed never gets composed (this year) handballs over teammates heads (panics )
Really needs to work really hard on ( kicking skills ) next 12 months (slowing the kicking process down making sure he hit's target )
