Melbourne last season were extremely successful last year during the trading and drafting period.. I can't believe he was taken at pick 40!! This kid is a gun and he's the type of player that we need, fast, skilful and a good kick for goal.. hopefully with another preseason under his belt, Billings would turn out to be what Kennedy-Harris is.. We were also pretty good in the draft last year in picking up Billings, Dunstan, Acres, Templeton.. Dunstan has been a gun, the next Lenny Hayes possibly? Haven't seen much of Acres and Billings had an interrupted preseason but was still showed a lot of talent in some games this year especially the Essendon one.. his kicking is extremely efficent and hopefully he can become FASTER!! Hopefully we can sustain a couple of draft picks in the top 20, a few gun mids and White, Stanley and Bruce could come as our next three tall forwards Maybe would should trade out the No.1 draft pick? The club has already said that they hadn't ruled that out, McCartin would probably be No.1 but I don't think we need a tall forward just yet.. mids first always
We need to keep most of our experience just so that the young guns can develop properly..

We can only dream that next season Billings is getting 10 disposals per game and kicking 0.6 goals per game.

We need a Hill brother or a Michael Walters or a Lewis Jetta or a Steve Motlop .
Basically we need good players
But someone with pace and spread and who can kick would be real handy....

Gee that's pretty harsh don't u think? Yes, he's probably looked the worst out of the top 10 picks.. I would've rather gone with an Aish or Kelly BUT, he had an interrupted preseason where he did a quad or something so lets give him another preseason and see how he goes next year.. he's full of talent but lacks , pace and GOALKICKING which MUST be FIXED. I reckon he's been down on confidence as well, should've been in the 2's more often this year.. Guys that get dropped to the 2's for a couple of weeks and come back are normally pretty good

I reckon you have yet to say any positive about any of our players. I reckon Billings has had a great first year. I wish you had posted when Lenny and BJ first played so I could see what you wrote about them. Im sure if you had of then bumping that thread would not have got me a warning but just confirmed what I think.
