I would of stepped back. Going to school with Carl Dietrich in the sixties taught me life-long survival skills.

You need to understand that no one here at Demonland has ever squibbed a contest

    Basically goes on to explain that Billy is giving up football for a life as a Buddhist monk.

    And that he would like to get a tattoo of Satan across his forehead while he does his studies.

    I heard he was getting schooled by Glen Benton in regards to this Biffen.

    The article also goes on to say that he has a large butterfly collection and that he is interested in making ships in a bottle.

    After he has been initiated by the Hells Angels ,he will be eligible for the draft if his solo yacht trip around the world goes OK.

    We should get him and do him a favour and not play him until he is 20.

    Don't know if anyone knows but Billy was selected in the level 2 AIS team earlier this month.

    Hearing good things about Billy!

    Also there is a kid by the name of Harry Viney who plays for North Adelaide under 18s and bit of a goal kicking forward? The son of Jay Viney but haven't heard much else..

    Billy Stretch has played the last four games for Glenelg reserves and been named in the best twice for 6 goals. I believe he will play in the grand final this week aswell which will be interesting.

    Have heard he is a very quick wingman who can push forward and kick goals plus also a 15.4 beep test as well. Another good young mid to add to our table next year.

    I am unsure how many games Jay played for us, but it certainly wasn't near enough for a FS qualification, for what it is worth.

    I haven't followed this thread throughout - which year draft is Billy set for?

  • Quote

    He will get picked up in next years draft meaning he can play in 2015.

    Jay? Isn't his father Steven stretch? Played plenty of games I think

    He was talking about Harry Vineys dad Jay in whether he is eligible for father son.

  • Quote

    it seems we need all our father/sons to move to S.A. as it looks like a good production line coming out of that state..of good hard footy players :)

    Interesting with the article. I could read it straight up on the iPad but got the paywall on the desktop?

    Sorry - I should have included the post to which I was replying - there was a reference to Harry Viney, son of Jay in one of the posts and I was referring to him.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
