Traded Jack Billings [Traded to Melbourne for F3 (Melb)]

Fantastic field kick and decision maker

People have talked about Billings as a good kick literally since he was drafted, but I've watched every one of his senior games and a bunch of his reserves games and never really seen it. He's serviceable, like 70% of the players in the AFL, but he's not Errol Gulden.

I think he's a good kick, but often a slow decision maker. He'll take a nice lead up mark on the wing but takes too long to keep it moving so the easy option dries up. He always seems to play "nervous".

Agree if the Dees can get his confidence up he could be a nice icing player. Someone mentioned Jack Watts a few pages back - agree with that comparison 100%.

I don't see anything wrong with that statement. Would have been a good get to add to our other recycled first round picks from other clubs

Why hasn't he been delisted yet? Even if there's a year remaining on his contract, there's no excuse for him to still be on the list. Same with Lachie Hunter for that matter.

Did you expect him to be any better than he has been this year?

No. No idea why Tim Lamb, dees list manager, even has a job to be honest.

He can't resist a "bargain". Dunstan, Grundy, Hunter, Billings etc

Tell me something I don't know. Fullarton too. McAdam.

The guy clearly watches clips from Moneyball every time he takes a shit and thinks he’s Jonah Hill. I hate it when list managers think they’re smart and start looking for bargains. 90% of them aren’t anywhere near competent enough for that - they should just do the simple things well. Take the picks to the draft.
