Pronounced "Port Augutta"

if you read the article it says he'd like to play for melbourne, we have had a little bit of contact but basically only said look we want to watch you over the year and see how you go, so he would be feeling the better he plays the better his chances which is exactly what we want.

my point is that why would he say "melbourne have been in serious contact with me, they are stoked that i have been able to put some muscle on my body and follow the gym program they have provided me over the last 18 months. Now that i have been able to get into the senior side at glenelg the coaching staff have all but assured me they will pick me up with a father sone pick."

that neither benefits the club nor him

Except it's not really his form that will dictate whether he comes to us. As he projects from anywhere between a late first rounder and a 3rd or 4th round pick it's all going to come down to the bidding system I think. As long as he plays well and keeps improving I've got no doubt we will look to have him as a father son nomination but if someone says he's worth a late first round pick we might have to make a tough choice to take him with a second rounder. I'm sure that's the reason for the lack of commitment from both sides. It's the unfortunate problem with the changed father son system that you really don't know if you'll commit to someone unless they are Jack Viney or Joe Daniher level good.

the thing is he has to show he is better than the other players around the mark of each pick we have, we don't just pick him because his dad played for us and he's forms okay, we have to pick the best player that's there with every pick, if that means overlooking billy so be it

having said that i think he probably will come to us as an early 3rd round pick and that might be abit of a steal, i rate billy about the pick 30 mark atm, but like we saw with Zac Jones last year, solid form could see his standing rise significantly.

Billy Stretch 24 possessions for SA under 18 team's win against Vic Country played today. The kid is looking like a good prospect.


I wish Billy would pump the brakes a bit.

It's important for him to develop well, but a foot stress fracture wouldn't go astray at this stage.

I'd settle for just doing his hammy
 

Clearly time for Billy to be suspended from school for some undisclosed indiscretions.


Roosy should put in a call telling him to settle down

Someone just start some 'drunken sex romp' rumours

Or rumours that he's mates with Tony Abbott.

I'm not sure about the drunken part, but I did hear that he got stoned and took part in a bondage orgy after the game. He wore his studs for the whole night.

Yes

Exciting,

Cant wait

Need to hunt down some footage of the boy


Yes, or he was in the bests and they wanted to pun a headline so people would click on it...

We don't want that.

The Blues, Filth and Bummers will be queueing up to nab him.

Or rumours that he's mates with Tony Abbott.

or mates with Jack Darling ?

I heard he's currently dating the Mad Monk's daughters..... all of them.

He has attitude issues and will not be taken in the draft any higher than 60th or so .

This is the news we should be circulating about him.

The Crows are trying to inflate his worth.

  • 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.
