    Is getting an invite an indicator though? I thought a lot of blokes turn them down to stay TAC/SANFL/WAFL

    No aspiring AFL player in their right mind would turn down an invite to the AIS/AFL Academy.

    If you know that you are locked into a Father/Son pick, then the AIS invitation is yours to deny. For mine, I think he would still go, but if it clashed with something at home or school, he could easily pass.

    I just said he DID NOT receive an invite. Billy didn't really set the world on fire at last years U16 national champs so he's got some work to do. Let's just wait and see before declaring he's the next Jack Viney.

    Or maybe he's not good enough to get an AIS invite....

    Yeah right

    I hird he's crap...

    A Hird type would be better.

    agree.....

    I'd like to wait and see if Jack Viney, is the next Jack Viney..... Before worrying wether billy is the next Jack Viney....

    Surely Jack Viney has to be the first Jack Viney before he can be the next Jack Viney :-)

    Billy is a long stretch behind that.

    Stretch shirked a contest and was tarred by that, but at his best was a very, very good player. If he was on our current list and at at his best he would probably be the best player we would have.

    Think it was against Dipper in the GF wasn't it, with everyone watching. Dunno what supplements those Hawks were on but they were twice the bulk of Swooper's skilful Melb side.

    There are some wonderful hangers of Stretch while roaming the wings, on YouTube. Nice accurate kick too. One of my favourites.

    The few reports I've had indicate that the boy can play and loves the Dees. I think he's eligible for draft next year. Sorry, had to step out of the gloom.

  • Quote

    Let him know what he's in for. Help him make an informed choice before he throws his career away.

  • Quote

    Pretty sure he'll be 17 next year and if he's half as committed as Jack Viney it's a great start.

  • Quote

    He did do work experience at the club. I'm sure there must be a good line about what he learnt during his time. Someone help me.

    He learned what not to do in order to be a successful footballer.

    Article on the SANFL website about him playing for Glenelg u/17's?

    My cousin is involved at Glenelg. Billy's played a handful of U18's games & a game for the reserves. He's doing pretty well considering he should be playing U17's.

    Could we again hear the name "stretcher" coming from the members wing!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
