I think for Billings to be a gun he needs to improve his running - he's never going to be tough and hard - but not everyone on the team has to be a hard man - he should be a link man with excellent disposal - needs to get himself in the right spot to make that happen 30+ times a game - he will never be a Dustin Martin so needs to be able to get round the park more like Tom Scully

Tom Scully is an aerobic machine.... Like Kelly

Billings needs to improve in all aspects...including running... Like all of the younger players

I think you're right - but to be fair to him he has been plagued by injury which makes it hard to get the miles into the legs.

Richmond laid 44 tackles & applied minimal pressure. Billings needs to start playing well when the heat is on & be a more damaging player. That was his pre-draft bio. He's still young & has time on his side. But we invested pick 3 on the kid so the bar has been set high.
You mean like the game against Hawthorn earlier in the season? :shock:

He sunk Collingwood at the G in Round 3 when he dropped a goal from 50 under a heap of pressure.
