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

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

    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.

    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

    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.

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

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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
