    Great result, very happy, was a little worried he rocketed himself up to an early second round pick but what a bargain :)

    What did Moore go for? Hopefully so eons before collingwoods first bid in him

    Collingwood had to take him with their first rounder apparently.

    Interesting to see the Dees use pick 2 for Isaac Heeney forcing the Swans to take him with their first pick....

    Welcome to the club Billy!!

    Have a really good feeling about this kid, I reckon he'll really come on as a player once his body gets a few pre-seasons into it.

    What is he going to say?

    "Oh ffs Melb has picked me up?! Career over, what a waste. I really had some good chats with the Giants and they said they might grab me."

    Sounds like an excellent result to nab him with our third rounder. He sounded like he was doing really well at the draft combine (something people on here didn't seem to like :wacko: ) so welcome to the club Stretch, and good luck!

    If he didn't want to come to Melbourne he didn't need to nominate under F/S rule.

    Could have stayed in Adelaide and gone to Adelaide.

    Interesting that we bid pick 2 on Heeney, I wonder if the club will try and poach him in the future

    Adds credence to the equalisation argument in future: "swans got a freebie that we'd have paid pick 2 for..."

    Not what I'm saying, was making a point that no players would come out saying they don't want to be at a club they were picked up by.

    Anyway great to have young Billy onboard, hopefully in 2-3 years he is making a contribution to the cause.

    Welcome Billy! Just put your head down, work hard and you will reap the multiple benefits of becoming an AFL listed player. Best of luck and soon we might all be yelling Go Billy or "Stretcha"!

    Wow I remember when this Stretch thread was started

    Weclone Billy!

    I'm all for cloning him, but how many do we have in mind?

    Half a dozen maybe.......at a stretch !!!

    Great get!!!! He should be the start of a great trading season for us. Add, Brayshaw, Lubamba, and some more. Plus Hogan and Trengove to come back....................... YES!!!!

    Really impressed with how he presented himself on Trade Radio.

    Do you think that Roos was making a statement, that he is worth 2, but going for 19 to the Swans.

    I would be almost sure of it...

    For those thinking Sydney are getting another leg up, lets not forget, we snared a young J.Viney for an absolute bargain as well...

    Billy was on Trade Radio today. For anyone that missed it, here's the link. He sounds very excited to be joining the dees.

    I liked his comments on the website and l am convinced that he is going to be a big part of the future of this Club along with Viney, Salem, JKH, Toumpas, Tyson, Hogan and Brayshaw! (and a reborn Trengrove!)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
