is getting a $1m p.a contract offer?

 

[bird_man]

Mate they have been banking for 5 years and have no other players to front load. Just have a look at their list
Ziebull , Goldstein , Cunnington are all coming to the end and salaries will be under 500k

They will struggle to meet the 95% and probably have $3 mill banked already
Who will they pay ? They need to utilise free agency and front load as Carlton did with Martin

There are plenty of other options for spending money rather than paying a bloke almost double what he us worth.

First would be getting their young existing players on some longer term deals which would allow them to front load and leave more money for when they look to be more competitive.

They could also target 2 or 3 young players for the money they'd be spending on Billings by giving them healthy contracts and offering them more opportunity.

Billings isn't going to turn them into a finals side.

Dogs all over Billing’s

If the Dunkley deal goes down as I still think it will Billing’s is a dog next year.

He does play his best against the Dogs and Bains knows him well, they could make a push. Is he what they need?

 

[Marcel Proust]

I’d be surprised if tigers recruited anyone of note at years end unless they plan on losing a few like Bolton, balta etc out of contract

Strange they were linked to hogan. Treloar. Crouch. Etc if there was fear is losing those types.

Any club who is throwing that money around to a B grader like Billings is completely off their rocker.

It'd be a strange signing for the Dogs with Hunter owning the left wing. I would have thought key backs would be your priority.

Don't know why you guys were interested in Hogan. I know Fonzie Riewoldt is probably in his final season but Hogan is totally cooked.

Richmond were only linked to hogan because his management approached richmond. Richmond never really entertained it.

Reported today that Riewoldt is expected to sign a contract extension soon

I think billing’s would fit in well at the dogs but I can’t ever see dodoro giving up what the dogs would want in return for Dunkley

Reported today that Riewoldt is expected to sign a contract extension soon

Most likely a 1 year extension at reduced money to play out his last year in 2022

 

[The Nostradamus]

26 touches and 2 goals continues his good form in contract years

 

[aussierulesrules]

26 touches and 2 goals continues his good form in contract years

Also 12 contested possessions (while playing almost exclusively forward), 12 score involvements and 3 tackles inside 50.

For the year he’s averaging

24 disposals
1.5 goals
7 marks
7 score involvements
100 fantasy points

 

[Blackhawk42]

I'd take him in our midfield in a heartbeat.

Would offer something different to Mitchell, O'Meara, Worpel and Shiels at least.

Better used in Breust’s role.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Wingard, Moore and Brockman look talented enough to cover that I reckon. Wingard and Billings splitting their time 50/50 forward and midfield would be pretty neat.

Played injured last week apparently which explains his worst performance so far this year

Reportedly tore his plantar fascia in the warmup, so was a fair effort to play the game after that.

Second time in a week we’ve had someone do that either during or before the game.

This then begs the question on why they played him in the game ?
Why wouldn't they just replace him with 1 of the emergencies

Well we’d already made two late changes, on top of all our other injuries, so we probably figured we’d be better off with an injured Billings than any other option.

Coming up against the best running team as well as one of the fastest with a manic game plan
Not sure you take injured player into that game - Usually wont end too well

Played all his junior footy as a high half forward that’s definitely his best position we’re he plays best but we for some reason have always been hell bent on turning him into a pure midfielder

 

[The Nostradamus]

Another 32 touches on the weekend

Has to be considered one of the better wingman this year

 

[puppy_dog7]

Why is it Carlton supporters throwing shade at Billings? I’d have thought they’d be the last club to do so after all the trash they’ve traded in.
Or maybe it has something to do with Billings averaging 23 disposals and 1.7 goals against them?

 

[Sphynx]

He's an interesting one.

He might get pushed out by the St Kilda spending spree of the last few years.

Can see a similar situation and contract to Brad Crouch last year.

St Kilda fans seem OK about his potential departure as well.
