WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH

Featured Replies

 

Jakovich played 47 games for us. Won't qualify.

But, he's an OOC FA, isn't he?

HaHa, I grew more than 15cms last night watching the box.

^_^

HaHa - just what were you watching? Were you alone?

How did this start out as a discussion about a 15 year old boy, and ended up here?

Only on Demonland.

Hmm... if I recall correctly, Billy has won the B&F in every year of junior football of his life. Now, under 12s B&F isn't a major award, but ALL of them from zygotic mitosis level to under 15s would suggest at least some potential! :D

Looking at the images from the articles, I have a sneaking suspicion that he wants to be the very best, like no-one ever was.


I think the club is keeping very close tabs on Billy. He had his internship with us earlier in the year as well. Very good signs. I'll be interested to see how the B&F goes for him this year.

He played for SA at the U16 Nationals but didn't do much apparently. Will be interesting to see if he plays 18's next year.

 

Nathan Buckley was a skinny little rake at 15 years as well, but his old man was a monster.

I don't think any one can tell.

Scully is a skinny little runt at 21 (yes I did say runt). But his dad is monster of the other variety. (I'll leave it up to you)

And yes we can all tell.

Spell check please.

Now that Jack Viney is done and dusted, we can look forward to two years of argy bargy about young Billy.

My information is that Billy is coming along nicely, growing taller and like Jack, can't wait to play for his father's old club.

Only about 2,600 posts and 185,000 views to go!

And a dozen threads...

The statistician in me wants to start a chart of the amount of 'noise' first about Jack Viney and then about Billy Stretch.

Simple line graph of 'post per month'. Billy may actually be ahead in terms of the number of posts this far ahead of drafting, because his name was originally mentioned and got a few comments way back when conversation was also beginning about Viney.

If all goes to plan (HA HA HA HA HA, at Melbourne?) then Stretch Jnr could be arriving just in time to play his whole career in finals!

I think I only said that in bitter irony at how once upon a time we all thought (imagined?) Viney would be the bonus gun midfielder to add to our stocks when we were already competitive.

Being a Canberrian if that's what you call yourself. Someone who does charts would suit you.

So line graphs would be of interest only between December and February. Parliament is in recess, all the drafts are done and dusted and the pre-season comp hasn't started.

A good filler.

Can you also keep a tally of how many times Demonlanders make reference to the kid's father shirking a contest in the 88 GF.

Na- you will combine them all when it is required.

Hopefully we won't have to worry picking him up at 3 being overs, and he is a steal at 20 something. Our first pick in the draft that year.

I could have sworn the whole side shirked a contest that day

Here we go again...

Didn't get an AIS invite.

Will be playing U18 for Glenelg.

Interesting to see if he makes the SA side as a bottom age player.

Right lets get the ball rolling.. :)

Oh good, have we a clean bill of health re draft picks looking forward then. It sounds like you've got the wink & nudge.

 

It's his fault already that Watts is no good.....

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
