Recently-axed midfielder Jack Billings has highlighted his intentions to continue his AFL career after being delisted following an underwhelming stint with the Melbourne Demons.
Billings impressed in a 10-season tenure with St Kilda before departing via a trade in the 2023 trade period to the Demons, where he then played 17 senior matches over the following two years.
The 30-year-old, who was taken with Pick 3 in the 2013 AFL Draft, played 155 games for the Saints, with his final years at St Kilda plagued by injury before the move to the Dees.
However, Billings had just a sole appearance at AFL level this year, in Round 3 against Gold Coast, despite quashing the several health concerns that disrupted his final years at Moorabbin.
In spite of his limited opportunity, Billings sees his time at Melbourne in a positive light and believes there is proof he can contribute at AFL level consistently from his time there, with his injury concerns becoming a thing of the past.
“I loved my time at the Dees,” Billings told AFL Trade Radio on Friday.
