Clearly setting up for a year or two.
Well. we have drafted kids again this year so I guess it depends on how long it'll take for our list to be competitive. If the Jacob Weitering move is correct we must be getting closer.

Max King who is still relatively inexperienced
I'm starting to worry Max is our next Billings.

Only way that’ll happen is if Lyon is our next Richo

i.e. next to zero chance

His 2019 year was his best and I’d rate him in the top 100 players in the AFL for that year alone

His first 2 years… he was ok

His next 2 years were bog average

…and I think that in his last 3 years he was NO good for the St Kilda team

Wasn’t he injured for the majority of that time?

What I see is a 160 odd game 20ppg HF

Reasonable imo

He’s not a world beater but in a s*** position in modern footy, he’s not a bad player. He’s getting a game in a pretty good team atm

Sorry. That conversation has been done to death. I’m sick of talking about him too.

I think whatshisname gets a laugh out of baiting people

At pick 30 or lower I think he could have been seen as value, at pick 3 for a rebuilding club you kind of want some star power that you can build a team around and can win games off a boot. I noted Jacks recent game against Carlton was really poor in the first half but and went missing when the team was looking for someone to get them going.

He’s a downhill skier

I'm going to wait for a bigger sample size, he's spluttering at the moment and the biggest concern is his attitude and resilience, he can be put off his game way to easily. He refuses to lead for the ball or crash packs, he sits out the back waiting for the cheap jump at the ball like an Auskicker.

On the weekend a player won the ball 1m in front of him and ran off him and Max offered zero chase, just like his tackle count per game, zero.

23 years old, 75 games, he is entering his sweet spot and a Coleman medal should be possible now, this is why we used the 4DP.

I'm not so hysterical as to say trade him like some but if he doesn't start performing to expectation in the forward line it might be time to trial him in another position and trial someone else as the Key Forward.

I'm sick of Billings chats also I am glad he has gone.
I would be surprised if he is in Melbourne best 22 by years end when they have a full list.
Melbourne supporters I know also think it is a matter of time when a Casey spot is calling.

I hate it when a player who played 155 games is disrespected
