billings is a shocking kick

Billings ???????

Shocker from Billings on his right goes out of bounds on the full.

Commentators smoking something.  "Fullarton all over Bryan today". What?! Fullarton picking up cheap possessions around the ground. Bryan has massacred him in just about every ruck contest no more exemplified by the grab out of the ruck and a just missed snap at goal by Bryan. Mystifying. 

Fullartons ruck contest is frankly disgusting.  95% ruck time for 3 hitouts and little presence. 
Might as well play Laurie in ruck.

runs super hard but is terrified of a contest

and just like that yze gifts him a goal

Billings makes up for it with a goal after a pass from Yze.

Billings goal Noah Yze in the chain. Gregory gutsy get.

Gregory take a bow son.  Superb attack, gather and give

Booooooo!!!!! Yze runs to take an outlet mark. Got it to Kent field and then bolted to the pocket and got it back. Then set up billing’s for the goal instead of kicking the sealer himself.

Jack Billings on 🔥! Goal

Bailey Laurie with the clearance and Billings finishes it off for his second in a row. Casey will win this now.

billings workrate super to run the lines

gets inside 50 for another pass and goal

he's been important in this last quarter

Totally agree. His ruck craft is barely VFL standard. 52 hit outs to Bryan. Not all against Fullarton but wow! And this guy can't get a game. Zero physical impact. 

kentfield been okay in the last

got up the ground and worked back to get to and impact contests

Weed is absolutely dominating in the air this qt.

Again, this is not why he was recruited.  Gawn out and not selected. Essendon reserves not the strongest opposition. Schache has had numerous days out at Casey but useless at AFL level. These stats for Fullarton are meaningless.

we differ on why we think he was recruited

imo he's not and will never be nor was intended to play as a primary ruckman

he's also not an afl-standard player imo

Fullarton was clearly recruited as a ruck-forward as evidenced above. Unless you can show something to the contrary, apart from opinion, that he was recruited as a primary ruckman?

 

Bailey Laurie, Jack Billings, Blake Howes and Adam Tomlinson best of the listed Demons. Honourable mentions Ben Brown, Marty Hore, Tom Fullarton and Oliver Sestan.

Casey boys Tyler Edwards, Roan Steele, Mitch White and Charlie Peters.

So who do you think the club had in mind us a back up ruck? 100% that's why Fullarton was recruited.

nope, he was recruited as a forward who could ruck a bit

the same role jvr is now playing

he's simply nowhere near good enough to ruck at afl level
