Is this fact?
Would not surprise me after he got Dunstan over to the club. He obviously rated Billings a lot higher than Ross does too.
Would be a nice fit in Melbourne's side I think also.

liking this,dees with a whack of 2nd round picks i think i read somewhere,most likely another on way for Grundy,could be a Henry pick in there somewhere for saints
Freo seems like the perfect fit for Billings.
Can play forward or wing and Freo are losing Schultz and Henry.

Given he seems free to a good home and we should have some spare capspace, I'd be interested. Our injury team is a lot better these days and it's worth the punt IMO
Would happily take at the Dees
Keen for us to come up with a genius plan to play him in a Daicos like capacity only for it to fail a few rounds in and have him sit in the 2s all year after that.
He can then request a trade after a year due to limited game time and we can do it all over again.
We love those type of plays down at the Dees

Will most probably end up at Collingwood

Will probably go OK at another club
Imagine playing at St Kilda for the last few years and then waking up one morning to find Ross had been appointed the new (old) coach

100% this and not only that he would suit Freos game style perfectly.
Problem is he wont wanna leave mummy to do a good thing for his career

can he? his kicking isn't that great. horrendous ball drop. He's always been pretty horrendous in front goals too. He's soft too.
really? I rate him, and are hoping geelong enquire with a late pick, but I wouldn't say his kicking is his best weapon.
I know goalkicking may be considered a different thing to field kicking. But his accuracy at goal is well under 50% over his career (108 goals, 123 behinds, not including complete misses/OOF)

His field kicking is brilliant.
No it's not.. It's good but not brilliant.
I would describe his kicking as neat and reliable and with pretty decent penetration.
His kicking would be more of a weapon if he took on more aggressive options which he rarely does.

Would like to think this is the cheaper option for Collingwood to Schultz if Freo want to play hard ball and request our F1 with this year’s first.
They’re different types of forwards, but Billings would have more strings to his bow.

Why don't the Crows have a crack at JB ?
Wouldn't cost much and they need a bit more players of class in his position

What is his position now? I guess half forward. Adelaide are pretty well stocked for small forwards but it seems like Rachelle and Pedlar will be transitioned into midfielders (which are desperately needed) over the next couple of years so he would possibly have a role. I could also see him having a spot as a starting wingman if that is a position that he can play.

It's a big if, but if his body does hold up, I would play him on the wing, that is probably his best position, and he would certain give good delivery to all your forwards.
Depends if you have faith in your club's medical/fitness staff to get him on the field regularly.

I raised this on the Crows board... as we need his type more than another key position player.

We could play him through the midfield/forward line, including off a wing.
We have a shortage of wingmen.
