Billings

[Goose is king]

27 games and no free kicks against.
Quite an interesting stat.
Is he aggressive enough at the opposition or just not reckless and a really clear thinker?
Glad he has got through R1 and 2 ok and went at 89% today.
Was hoping for a strong start to the season from him but solid enough for someone so young.
Sadly he is the only young Saint I'm genuinely excited about.

[Griggsy]

Probably just not reckless, most frees against these days are high contact. Next one prob out on the full, then your holding and blocks in marking contests which he isn't in many of anyway.

Don't be so pessimistic! Billings will be a star but others will come good, How long have all those gws players had? more than a couple seasons.

[ROLS-LEE]

Don't know his stats but didn't see him much

[Griggsy]

^ Couldn't of watched closely, touched it more than 15 of our other players and actually hit a target.

[ROLS-LEE]

I was there. My reserved seat is on the fence at 50mtr line of the lockett end. I did see he had like 5 poss in a row in the last qtr but i rarely saw him wit the pill for the rest of the game .

58 or so SuperCoach points confirms what I saw, that he wasn't damaging in the slightest.

A 'bleh' game if ever I saw one.

[The Recruit]

Didn't dominate but when he got it did not miss a target. One of the few that is absolute class and can kick.
Will be a star for our club.

Because SC is reliable, might as well start racking up the 1-2 runs.
19 disposals, 90% eff and lead the team in I50, sounds like a more damaging game than most had tonight. Maybe he should have kicked it to the opposition more.

[prwilkinson]

His kicking and vision are amazing.

I agree. He still does not get enough of it, but on a night when so many of the boys butchered the ball he was a standout exception. Superb delivery. Looks to me as if he had added significant length to his kicking.

[BigMart]

Both of his first two games have been meh...

He's coming back, but is yet to be damaging... And has made a lot of errors

Bont tore us a new one in the first Q last night
Billings accumulated a lot of outside possessions

[Myron Gaines]

Excellent prospect however doesn't consistently impact games. Needs to play in the back half to find more ball. Would help us from turning over the footy coming out of defence too.

[Bluthy]

I reckon he set up at least 2 of our measly 5 goals with a piercing kick that sliced open the dogs - and could have been more if players didn't fumble. He's got brilliant vision and backs himself to do the high-risk high-reward kick and pull it off. ONce he gets a really good tank I think he has to go on ball more - as long as his body holds up. If he could rack up 30 touches they would be 30 of the deadliest touches in the game.

[MC Gusto]

Are you serious?

His kicking was unbelievable last night! A freaking limelight of the team. I was watching with a non saints mate and he was blown away every time billings released the ball by foot...so I know it wasn't just my rose tinted glasses

He was close to our best last night when you consider scoreboard impact - put it absolutely lace out on a number of occasions

[Goose is king]

First free kick against today. Holding the ball
He is a gun and brilliant today. Big numbers and 2 goals.

[George27]

A super game today. Four quality quarters. Got 30 disposals, and surely must have had 90% plus efficiency. I was sitting up on the top deck, and from that birds' eye view one can see how he makes smart decisions, and weights his kicks perfectly. A couple of very handy goals as well.

[saint-stu]

His kicking is exceptional. Has the power of Jason Gram but the skill of Nick Dal Santo.

[ROLS-LEE]

agreed. Great game by Billings today. 4 quarter effort.

[fugazi]

Has he had a rising ster nomination yet?

[bigcarl]

he's going to make a habit of icing games

Does 109 please you this week?

[George27]

Has he had a rising ster nomination yet?

Alas does not qualify, as had played more than 10 games before the start of this season.

[LTN16]

Elite

[Griggsy]

His turn and goal was ablettesque, knew exactly where the ball was going before he even received the handball.

[snoopygirl]

Was nominated as the player most likely to have a breakout season by the rest of the league earlier on this year. He seems like he has all the time in the world to way up his options & take the right one. Was disappointed he gave away his first free kick today.
