Jack Billings and Lewis Taylor

Featured Replies

It's early on but I'd suspect Billings will go one in the next draft.

 
Why are they trianing with us when we don't even know if we will get them in the draft?

I guess it's a form of work experience, IDD. Gives them a taste of the clubs in general.

Can't get my head around talk of 2013 draft already.

Hopefully we'll finish too high to consider a top 5 pick. The other reason we might not get a top 5 pick is too terrible to contemplate.

they might get Kneecapped? or is that kidnapped? ah well. Yooou knoowww,,, what I like.

It's a special short-term arrangement with all clubs as part of these kids being AIS-AFL academy players.

Is also an opportunity to improve the perception of the club. If these kids are treated well and can see the professionalism that appears to be more prevalent they will spread the good news about Melbourne. It would be good to be viewed as rivals to other clubs in this off field fashion. Sends all the right messages.

Lets hope we are not talking about the draft by round 2 like last season.

  • 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.
