Had much worse seasons at the Dogs too like 2022. 

I thought that Hunter looked good in 2023 because I don't think Langdon had a great year.

.... then I had the thought that Langdon didn't have as good a year as 2021 and 2022 as we we played a large portion of our attack through him and Jordon and Brayshaw played more as a defensive wing.

Phew! Two thoughts before 10am there. I'm out till lunch soz

Now play me all his worst shots... Ahh sorry, I can't watch for ten hours...don't have enough time...

Anyway I want Melbourne to select me with pick 93.. just so I can fill my pockets.

 

Ok but expect to be unfairly maligned before you even pull on a guernsey. I mean, that’s how you roll, right?

[Sir Why You Little 37,297]

So you play Billings 20-30 metres from the Goal Square 

Get him fit, then “Kick 30 Goals for us in 2024 Jack” Another 20 from McAdam…

The Aints are still paying him

He can't kick, he's slow, he's really soft, I hear his mum is a drug dealer, there are rumours going around that he slept with his teammate's wife.

Can't believe we wasted a 6th round draft pick on this hack. We could have recruited the next Bontempelli instead.

Robert Elliot was a pretty good player.

Going back a fair ways.

[D Rev 631]

Seems like an experienced depth player who can play forward or in the mid-field that is a good kick.

Exactly what we need given some of the outs.  Play on.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,240]

Unless he's a culture killer and St Kilda couldn't wait to get him out the back door, then I can't see one ounce of downside in getting a player who once had a 30 possession/5 goal game and recorded 12 Brownlow votes in one particular year, for a future 3rd rounder.

At worst he's simply replacing JJ or Harmes in the depth department at maybe 250K a year??

Sounds like a good bit of business at this stage. 

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,556]

A Jack, a Tom and a Shane.

We're so deelightfully old school!

(To ice this, I was hoping there was a Tom to join Jack Mueller (39,40,41,48) and Shane McGrath (41,48) in their premiership teams. Alas, there wasn't. 1900's Tommy Ryan and our TMac, who's been around seemingly forever anyway, must suffice.)

Good he'll fit in. The more players we get that keep Collingwood's premirship out of the news the better.

[Dante 2,739]

He’s been playing with the Saints no wonder he’s been ordinary over the last few years. 

[old55 23,833]

Jack Billings is definitely worth a try ahead of Harmes and Jordon.

[adonski 12,903]

Highly astute pick up in the context of what we paid

Always struck me as the type who would find the next level in a better side

He has had to deal with the fact that the Saints took him at Pick 3 and the Bont went at Pick 4.

StK fans have never cut him any slack and have ridden him hard.

Hey Jack, are you sure you still want to come to the Dees?

Just disappointing we didn't pick up another James.

[Dingo 1,170]

My Saints mate - who is an avid but astute fan - reckons Jack will be good for us.

[The Jackson FIX 3,367]

Hope he likes to party.

Too soon?

Nice bloke jack Mueller...used to say "how good would I have been with 5 fingers". ( Only had 3 on one hand.

I believe kicked 8,6 and 6 goals in the PF,GF and GF replay in 48?

For that contemporary, Petty-like, feel, too, he was at full back in his first GF, I think.
