Not many players have a 25 touch, 3 goal game at 100% efficiency in their first season.
Not many players have 10 touches, 3 goals and 5 inside 50's in a final quarter in their second season.

This kid will be a jet!

I take great joy in seeing billings play a game like that against bontempelli.... So many posts on here complaining about this draft pick way too early.

I find the criticism of him very annoying. He had shown on a number of occasions what he was capable of, but his is still a 19 year old kid. I think even some numbskull commentators made the same criticism of our drafting last week.

a few armchair 'experts' on here continue to question his ability and our decision in taking him...
They had written him off after 5 games...

I hear we picked him as he was a match-winner at junior level. He still is! Amazing vision and loves a goal

I'll repeat a previous post. Who has bagged him? His disposal needed to improve, and still probably does, but the kid is a jet. I hope all the smart arse Dogs supporters watched him today and shut the F up.

How did The Bont go?

I think this is the official jumping at shadows thread.

Like Roo said in the post game interview Bilings is a bit inconsistent...but what kid is not?

Yep. That's true. Some of our supporters aren't that great at supporting!

I just hope we don't try and turn Jack into something he isn't. He's a damaging forward of centre player that creates and kicks goals and wins games off his own boot. You don't want players with his class at the bottom of packs.

Correct. He is the perfect outside mid. That isn't a slight on him. Its a skill.

Could be the most devastating half forward of the next era. Will win at least a dozen games for the club, today his first

His contested marking is an awesome skill to go with all his class. Just adds another weapon. Richo compared him to Wingard...
