Worth persisting with, at his best is a huge benefit to the side.

But needs to realise this aint Richo or Ratten days anymore.

Byrnes is a better contributor at present…. But I understand if people think Billings is better ( Jack’s AFL Fantasy price is in fact higher than Ronnie’s :wink: )

You reckon they’ve had equal preparation?
Billings was given ample time at Sandringham to work on his fitness. Stop making excuses for him

Billings has been on the decline the last two years.

At present...the evidence says Byrnes has gone past him

You’re not serious surely.
I’m equally as serious about my statement as you are about your opinion regarding Byrnes

Here’s your statement on Billings in 2020. How did that prediction pan out for the next 3 years?

You can't rely on Billings. He will be injured 2 more times this year, probably at training, where you have to go hard for selection.

Billings isn’t a run & carry player

I’ve watched the last game a few times and I reckon Billings played a different role,he was more in and under than I’ve seen him throughout his career and was releasing the ball mostly by hand to blokes on the outside.
