Goals. That is what will transform Billings career. If we can get him back to being a goal kicking half forward who can share the load in the middle then I think he can move into elite territory. A goal a game with a sprinkling of 3 and 4 and we will suddenly look at him a little differently.
Jack needs to be a fraction less about the link up and more about going to goal. He is good above his head, reads play well, tackles and contests the groundball well too. I feel like under Richardson, his game went from being more of a Jack Higgins type to a Seb Ross type. He needs to rediscover his love for a goal. Get on the end of a few chains Jack!
It's the one reason many want Gresham to play forward. He is goal hungry. I remember Gresh running past Riewoldt as a draftee to take the responsibility of kicking for goal. And that's what it is...a responsibility. King, Membrey and Sharman are all willing conduits to goal. We need our smalls to be the same. Billings needs to play more like Higgins. And Kent and Long, who often look like they would rather go to the dentist than shoot on goal should consider themselves lucky if they crack the best 22.
