Is he getable?
What's he worth?

Billings is still yet to sign with StKilda. The Saints seem to be targeting a few players from other clubs, meanwhile Billings is having a break out year.

Parish is also out of contract at the end of the year, could be involved in a Billings trade. Obviously the Bombers would need to chuck in their first rounder as well.
Then you would obviously give us Hawthorns back in exchange?

He'll sign, in the best 22 playing good footy for a team that's projecting towards finals.

Might sign for 2 or 3 years at 500k-550k. Then go for the big contact.

Is Darcy's old man in a St Kilda coterie? Jack's old man is in an Essendon one. He's spent a bit of time around the club over the years and we haven't been shy about our interest in getting him out of Moorabin / Frankston.

Big deal what would Essendon have that we would want other than Parish who Billings is better than and perhaps Merret but we'd still rather Billings.

Highly doubt he would be going anywhere. He's been building some pretty good form over the past month or so. Before the Carlton match, he had 3 games where he's kicked 1.4, 0.3 and 2.3, so he's had plenty of scoring chances in those games. It really came together against Carlton not only on the scoreboard (5.0) but just his general impact. Keep maintaining the form that he's been building then he should get a pretty good deal something between 500k-600k per year on a 3-4 year deal would be my guess.

I think the teams would figure something out IF he were to demand a trade. Merrett's in a different league so pretty sure his name wouldn't even come up in conversations.

This will all be over nothing - He'll stay at the saints

If his season continues on its current trajectory, I expect some decent coin to be put in front of him. If he starts Struggling again he'll sign as soon as he can.

Correct he will stay but Merret would be the only one of interest to us and thats if we were forced to trade.

Haha classic dons being hard to deal with, you'll have to throw in Hurley if you want our prized 5th rounder.
Hurls is yours but we're going to need your new training facilities thrown in. You can train on our Etihad sized oval for a small rent while you look for something more long term.
