I’ll say the same thing I said about Jones… there’s always something.
Put a line through him

Fortunately he's a player we have backup for. Crickey we are only one injury to another key position player away from ensuring we end up bottom 4.
Imagine if someone like RoMa was to go down...touch wood.

WTF Our club has definitely upset the footy karma gods - we cant take a trick. Have to feel for poor Jack after all that time in rehab to break his leg, hopefully the tide turns before too long.

Re: Jack Billings Out Injured For Up to 8 Weeks
In fairness, he was highly unlikely to be a major feature this season anyway

Re: Jack Billings Out Injured For Up to 8 Weeks
Billings took a cheap contract to get himself a chance of recovering or at least being traded. Put a line through him and move on with Byrnes, Windhager, Phillipou, Owens and Hotton.

Re: Jack Billings Out Injured For Up to 8 Weeks
There goes my Jack Sinclair fairytale number two story…
26? 27?
Maybe he could be a Mason Wood..
He got the big contract, faded, got the little contract and he is fading..

Re: Jack Billings Out Injured For Up to 8 Weeks
Hard not to feel gutted for the lad. Tries his hardest and this is cruel. Lots of competition for his spot and this may be the beginning of the end.
summertime and the living is easy ........

I'm beginning to wonder if we should change our nickname to the Quentin's .

I reckon if he was still around his body would hold up better than most of our team .

I thinks Ratts may be driving that Karma bus.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Jack Billings Out Injured For Up to 8 Weeks
Reminds me of Shaun Higgins a bit …except Jack has a smaller noggin
Higgins flourished late in his career when his body finally stood up to the rigours.
Earnt himself 2 x Best and fairests with North Melbourne as well as AA honours in 2018 at the ripe age of 30
Here’s hoping JB has a huge 2024/2025
