HOW THE EXPERTS TIPPED

St Kilda have lost patience with Jack Billings, dropping the No. 3 draft pick for Saturday night’s clash with Sydney.

Billings, 22, has struggled to impart much influence this year, averaging 19 disposals per game and kicking 6.12 from 11 matches, remaining one of the Saints’ biggest culprits in front of goal.

Despite respectable showings over the past fortnight against top sides Richmond and West Coast, the Saints are winless in 10 games, with just one victory and draw to the midway point of the season.

Brandon White and Rowan Marshall have also been dropped, while skipper Jarryn Geary is sidelined with a calf injury.
