    What a nice pick-up he would be. Versatile tall who has had a very good season.

      So you're not overly concerned by his poor kicking, despite the fact we're already a side not blessed with kicking skills?

        That’s what worries me most YHF...too many avge kicks in our team...I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen much of his play, so I’m really only going by what I’ve read. Maybe I’m just so struck with Rozee, I’m not interested in anyone else .
        I will never see #16 the same!!

          I think his kicking can be improved but it's not a major weakness

            Far out I feel like this has been said at our coaches table a few times.

                Do you think his kicking is flawed?

                  I don't even know who he is - I'm just a bit over the whole "his kicking can improve" theory when by and large they just never seem to.

                    OK, I think a lot of players improve when they come into the AFL system and I can't see too much wrong with Kings action.
                    He missed some chances last week and I thought your comments were related to that.

                      Oh no not at all - I'm happy to defer to the watchers of the developing players re strengths and weaknesses, I would just like us to draft good users rather than ones whose footballing skills may or may not improve.

                        He's a 200cm player so his kicking skills will most likely not be that of a midfielder and I don't see his kicking as an issue

                          Are we talking around the ground or at goal? I like the highlights I've seen. Really impressive hands

                            At goal. No idea what he’s like around the ground but given he played defence a lot you’d think he’d be ok

                            At goal, I’ve seen a lot of times he’s kicked like 5.6 with a couple on the full

                              It's a crapshoot anyway - Billings was a pure silk finisher as a junior, now he's one of the worst kicks for goal in the competition.

                              I get the feeling we won't have many live picks anyway, just a couple of late speccies. Love what I've seen of Rozee and there seems to be some real talent in the 10-20 range.

                                You definitely see a trade for pick 7 mofra ?
