Warming to the idea of Billings. While he isn't a genuine midfielder at the moment;
1) He may become such a player. Rockliff was for all intents and purposes a medium forward pre-draft, for example.
2) Even if he never becomes a full-time midfielder, he should at the very least be able to rotate through there along with Selwood, Shuey, Masten, Wellingham and probably Gaff, along with any future picks. Our midfield has suffered from a lack of flexibility, something Billings provides more than say Sheed.
3) Quantity of clearances isn't our issue so much as spread, ball delivery and goalkicking from midfield; things Billings does very well.
