Not sure what votes your referring to B.M. however by all reports Billings was not BOG Gawn was.
Billings BOG a number of times I agree with you on.that as a VFL player .
BOOM BOOM
.

[B.M]

Didn’t say he was BOG

Said he was near bog - he had a great game at HF 23 and 5t and a goal with a 73% DE

They are elite numbers across HF

Got in the coaches votes

BTW
6 times he’s been voted Best On
Has received 32 Brownlow votes as a HFF

Not bad for a VFL player

He did play a VFL game a few years back - I was there
He had a lazy 54 possessions playing as an inside mid

[magnifisaint]

Open the other eye

Henry
19 disposals
1 tackle
0 goals
56 ranking points
52% DE

Billings
23 disposals
5 tackles
1 goal
140 ranking points
73% DE

To say Henry played better is a ridiculous call!!!

He will be a better player for St Kilda than Billings.

[Scollop]

Umm

He was near BOG in the AFL yesterday

Something he’s done a number of times

It's hilarious that you first think he was "near BOG" and then you mention the coaches votes to back up your argument

Crab is not a player who wins you matches. He wasn't the reason Melbourne dominated. It was the Melbourne mids. He's not a mid. He's a half forward

Billings had 4 contested possessions Liam Henry had 8. Nothing new for Billings. 1 clearance and 5 inside 50s for Jack. 1 clearance and 6 inside 50s for Liam. Jack had a good game, but Liam's was better.

By the way ...who scored more AFLCA votes? Billings or Henry?

Liam Henry will turn out to be a better player than Billings ever was for St.Kilda in.the future
Maybe you should be following Melbourne now that Billings has gone there you seem to be infatuated by him.
Personally I did cart wheels when.told he had been.picked up by Melbourne .
Should of happened earlier overpaid under achieved
BÒOM BOOM

[B.M]

Did Billings never play a good game at StK?

How many HFs in the AFl average 20ppg

Just because you want to believe he was bad - doesn’t make him bad

He plays a tough position- he has finished top 5 in the B&F, polled 32 Brownlow votes
He played 155 games

He’s no Bont - but no one is, he’s the best player in the comp.

But

[skeptic]

I def preferred Henry’s game to Billings’

[D.B.Cooper]

The same he will be doing when.he plays at Casey
Soft as butter.
Great VFL footballer.
BOOM BOOM

Soft as butter?
A guy who played 150 games for the club.
He’s no Jack Steele but that is a disgraceful comment.

I’ll guess who is soft as butter, and it’s not Jack Billings Boom Boom.

And what’s with the Boom Boom crap?
By the style of your writing I’m guessing your not a John Lee Hooker fan so you’re probably an obsessed Boris Becker stalker.

[Scollop]

Ugly Dave Gray used to do jokes and he used to say it on Blankety Blanks...or was it Graham Kennedy who said it? Can't remember

...that was the saying after the punchline

Boom Boom

[asiu]

an earlier poster , from days gone by , also used to finish his posts with the boom boom thingy ... yes ?

[Scollop]

There was Hurricane. He finished with

haha

good get

[Vortex]

Thought I'd add Nick Coffield to the Crab Watch.

Didn't exactly make much of an impression in his first outing for the Dogs. Should get better though as he's missed a lot of footy.

[B.M]

Coffield is not that great - he’s a bit of a cat

[Scollop]

Pussy crabs are the worst crabs of all

[asiu]

i know

i really know

that i should not laugh at that








i did but

[SaintPav]

Coffield is not that great - he’s a bit of a cat

He’s opened up a cafe in Seddon called “Daddy’s Boy”

[B.M]

20 disposals
1 goal

From Billings - in a 9 goal win

[B.M]

Gresham 1st goal

I’m on your side here… but decent games in easy wins against mediocre opposition aren’t making your point for you.

No one ever doubted that Billings can play good games or that he’s a capable performer.

The issue is his ability to produce consistently against quality opposition.

Melbourne have played one quality team so far this year and lost.
In that game, Billings played a quarter and a half for a handball and gave away a free. For his pay cheque you’re wanting marquee performances in big games or at least producing results against the run. Seeing Billings be amongst the best players in a bad loss to Port in Adelaide is a better metric then getting easy kicks vs Hawthorn

[B.M]

Are you saying Billings has never played a good game against good opposition?

Not sure I agree with that?

I just look at his body of work over 160 games as a HF/wing
And his numbers stack up

It’s a bit like the false narrative that he is soft

lol. Well he’s definitely not hard.
Billings is definitely capable of good football and I for one am amazed at the way he’s going the last 2 weeks at Melbourne.
Good luck to him. Apparently was a nice guy so I wish him well, but I’m more than happy with what we have ( Liam Henry) playing his position

[B.M]

And I’m sure Melbourne are happy with what they got for a fourth round pick with StK picking up half his salary

[Yorkeys]

And we are happy Melbourne are happy and Jacks happy he didn't have to play against Maynard Thursday. So it's win win win. Although it is believed Melbourne are slightly upset it didn't know Bonner was available.

[SaintPav]

Gresham 13 possessions and 2 goals.
