Billings

Swap with parish and a second rounder

We have already spent our second rounder.
Anyhow Dildo would demand our first rounder and Billings to give us Parish.

Parish is simply not available. Simple as that. Waste of time even mentioning him.

Well it's quite said that the bummers took parish with no.5 whilst we took billings with no.3 the year before

FFS he's played 38 games with about 7 in a row without injury. Was fantastic last week was BOG v Coll and close v Hwathorn.

I think his injury woes are irrelevant to him looking soft. Acres has already passed him now. It's simple, billings needs to develop in the 2s rather than being crushed every week

[Jacks Back]

Disappointing for most of the year unfortunately.
How's the bont and cripps going?

He's a pick 3 and nowhere near it at the moment.

[8856brother]

He was extremely disappointing. There have been excuses for Jack for a long time now. He played like a first gamer tonight and unfortunately for Jack he will always be judged against the Bont. Not his fault of course but is how it is. He's miles behind him and getting further behind every week. Hope for our sake he comes good after his 4th pre season.

We could have picked the bont. Exactly what we need really, Can tear the game apart. Crips nearly just as good. Billings just has beautiful kicking skills but doesn't look up to afl standard

He's not soft he's learning to play AFL. His natural game to fly for grabs snap goals has been changed completely.

If he's learning he should start with his set shots.

Word is hes going to bombers for hurley. I just hope we dont give a first round too.
Billings and future second round would be fair.

Maybe needs a whole year in VFL to adjust and get confidence back?

OK, I only saw the first quarter, but the criticism of Billings does seem a bit disproportionate on here recently.

Last year when we beat the Dogs in that comeback, he was justabout BOG, and had some very good games for us earlier in the year.

Obviously he is out of form, possibly carrying something and down on confidence....but we all know the kid can play, and play very well.

Another preseason and more games will see him turn into a really good player for us.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'word'?

Lots of people claiming inside knowledge from the club.

Hard to make sense of it all.

A whole year would be ridiculous. He costed us the third pick. Fingers crossed that he will have a break through season next year after his 4 preseason

That game for him was a fluke. He never backed it up

His beautiful kicking isnt even all that beautiful. Has kicked 5.12 this season.
Had the ball in the clear tonight probably only once and kicked it 5m over Roo's head on the lead.

[Con Gorozidis]

Not sure but Billings has a bit of of a Jimmy Toumpas feel about him at the minute.

[bigcarl]

Give him time. Class will show through.

[George27]

Jack was very poor tonight . Did not commit to winning the ball in contests. A spectator, unfortunately.

[Con Gorozidis]

Give him time. Class will show through.

That is what they said about Jimmy Toumpas and Troy Menzel.

[Mr Magic]

Jimmy Toumpas never won a game off his 'own bat'.
I can recall a couple at least that Jack Billings has greatly influenced.

[Johnny Member]

The elephant in the room is that he's a wuss.


And after two years, I'm still trying to understand why people think he's a good kick.

[whiskers3614]

With a touch of Fiora?

Fizzer managed 140 games....
