Young star Jack Billings has signalled his commitment to helping St Kilda return to September action by inking a new two-year contract.
The classy left-footer, who turns 22 on Friday, will remain with the club until at least the end of the 2019 season after signing a new deal this week.

Re: Billings, Jack back until end of 2019
You have to wonder why it is only for 2 years. Did the club not want 3-5 or the player's manager?
summertime and the living is easy ........

The club put 3 copies of the contract on the table,
because he has trouble aiming correctly.
He managed to sign his name more than 12 centimetres from the ______________Jack Billings
all 3 times
So they just got him to sign his name on a 6m x 6m sheet of butcher's paper
and then they printed the contract on that sheet afterwards

A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Top player. In our top 5 and full of class.
Lets hope he turns his goal kicking around. If he did we're looking at 40 goals per year. Everything else is great for the type of player he is.

Helllooooooo
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

I would suspect his management would think it in JB's interest in regards to see what we are willing to pay for a target elite playerGershwin wrote:You have to wonder why it is only for 2 years. Did the club not want 3-5 or the player's manager?
I'm sure that all the players will feel a bit underpaid if locked into long term contracts and playing along side someone on almost twice as much , if we throw the kitchen at one (say 1.2 mill for six years).
That's the real danger with unbalancing our pay structure for a gun, I'm still unconvinced it's the right way to go.
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"
Go Sainters !!!!!
