I've started a thread about him


He was flogged by a first year player... Who is actually a good player

But there will be a load of excuses

And

If was injured, he wouldn't be selected ... So that crap won't cut it

What did you expect from him? He runs on the outside we don't give it off to him he leads we kick it over him we burnt him countless times. By the way Bigmart he wasn't on Mills.

The biggest issue however is that he's soft. He's literally our own jack watts. He will eventually be a good player with the skills he's got but he's to soft and got no tank. SHould be played in the twos ahead of a massive preseason

True but the one time when he had it in the clear he kicks it 5m over Roo's head straight to a SWan.

Game was over by then anyway. We have Joey kicking it who is average at best and getting easy ball while we ignore our best kick.

He was directly opposed to Mills on many occasions, Cunningham a bit and McVeigh a bit

Minchington had 40 and Cunninham it seemed

not sure he has the skills people rave about . Sure he's just a boy and can get stronger but has gone backwards for mine , not in our best 22 for now.

God this place is predictable. What do people seriously expect from a forward flanker in a team that gets belted by 70 points?

BTW, Nick Smith was standing him wasn't he? All Australian, premiership defender, not a first year player.

He had something to do with the 70 point thrashing.

We have already spent our second rounder.
Anyhow Dildo would demand our first rounder and Billings to give us Parish.

Billings stats and effect on the game was about the same as Gresham who spent more time in the middle - Jade no good either? Some people have no patience

Billings has more playing life left but I can't see Essendon parting with Hurley for anything less than a proven quality player and a first rounder.

Jade was much better and had a greater effect on the game. Billings just Racked up cheap easy possies.

Regardless, billings will be a very good player once he's built a tank. Would've Rather picked bong or crisps instead

The only trade bait so far is Lonie, in part of trade for Steele.

Yes because 170cm VFL players will get us so much trade currency.
