WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH

Featured Replies

No. Try this:

Father-Son Rule: This rule was introduced to ensure that family traditions were upheld when it comes to footy, as sons of fathers that played for any given club could be selected by that club regardless of zoning rules. In order to be eligible for the Father-Son Rule, the father had to have played at least 100 games for the club. All other teams are allowed to bid on the son. The team that wishes to draft the son then has to match the highest bid with their next available draft selection.

Yep thanks for that.

But the real issue is the teams that have picks 10-18, because they could force us into using him with our first pick.

The teams that are 1-9 picks are no problems because he's not rated anywhere near that level yet.

But based on his recent form in U18 comp and SANFL he could be moving up into top 20.

We need to remind all recruiters about Stretch and Dipper.

No they couldn't. We use the NEXT available pick. If we have picks 9 and 27 to be forced to use pick 9 one of the first 8 teams have to nominate him. If we don't want to spend pick 9 then the bidding team must take him. If pick 10 nominates him we can get him for pick 27.
 

Roos, Taylor and T Viney will know exactly what he's worth. They won't bid more in the draft than that. Really hope he's good and we get him, but we won't be paying too high a price.

Someone just start some 'drunken sex romp' rumours

dunno about his romps, but he's getting involved with the Hells Angels is a bit of a worry. maybe we should put him on the back burner, after he's running with them.

survived his initiation, & colours are on the way.


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.

did you catch him picking the drunks pockets, down at the Gat again Biff.

wish he'd stop doing that, & just clean the toilets like he should be. earning his stash.

Yep thanks for that.

It always amazes me that people who have no idea how it works have so much to say. If you have no clue how f/s works stop talking like you have an idea.

I hope he keeps improving but keeps it a little quiet. 3rd would be gold but at this rate 2nd is looking likely.

I hate this bidding process. Only starts when the dees actually have some players to choose from. Look at how well geelong did with father sons.

 

Settle down billy

They won those 3 grand finals on the back of half there team being father and son picks.

Wasn't Garry Ablet Jr pick 50 or something?

seems to be firming into a solid second rounder which is what we will end up paying for him.

sounds like an isaac smith type

He's trying to sell him down because we have to bid for him and it will cost a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Yep, serves me right for not following the conversation.


Nowhere in that article does it say he was BOG.

Based on the report, Pickett or Johansen would get that jersey.

SA: Stretch, Hamilton, Durdin, Press, Wigg, Neal-Bullen, Johansen

You said BOG. Where does it say he was BOG?

Go back and edit your post. It's factually incorrect, and not even based on any information other than what you've picked up from reading a single report. It's not as if you were at the game.

First mentioned in the list of best players is generally accepted as that sides best player.

Given SA won HH has also assumed he was BOG.

Reasonably fair assumption I would think.

You kinda are ranting for no reason, you made a boo boo, deal with it

It was their luck that resulted in a change to the rules.

Your looking very silly here..

Seems like the SA media are pumping him up a bit knowing he's more than likely headed our way.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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?
