Out of contract at the end of this season and Demons rated him (allegedly) higher than Josh Kelly in the 2013 draft. Has played 62 games and is having a breakout season. Could fill that skillful outside role as well as having the ability to go forward and hit the scoreboard. Would cost a lot and I can't actually see him leaving the Saints this year, but for mine is definitely worth the discussion.

    Also can't see him leaving but he'd be a great addition. I'd rather Lever though.

    Excellent proposal. It would be tough indeed. Certainly worth the discussion. Should also come at a lower cost than that rumoured for Kelly.

    Grew up as an Essendon supporter (assumption based on his father's team) so I could image that he might consider there first.

    Trade Tyson and Salem for him ;)

    In all seriousness, I think he would frustrate the hell out of us. Having a great season but for a good kick always misses when going for goal.

    Yup his finishing is terrible

    Hes kicked 20 goals 32 behinds this season. And god knows how many missed everything or fell short.

    I think he could fill the very valuable role Petracca/Melks type role on our forward flank nicely at the very least! Of course its all what we give and wants the come.
    As mentioned our recruiters rate him highly so would not be surprised if he ends up being our big get.

    Still young,  will be a quality midfielder in time. Has great skills so it's very strange his goal kicking is so bad. One-eyed jack could be forgiven for missing on the weekend. 

    Id go after him hard. Although saints lack class so they'd be crazy to let him go

    Not for me. Chip-scab possessions. Little hurt factor. Had a great last two weeks but has been ordinary for large parts of this year.

    Want my outside mids to be line breakers with genuine toe. Prefer likes of Kelly and Whitfield if giving out first round picks.

    Lever will cost 2 first rounders. Saints won't be asking for much less for Billings

    Serious consideration...

    Salem must be a little shaky with his form/injuries and bad report from last week

    Trade month is gonna be great this year if we make September. 

    Players will love to play at The G when it is full of Red and Blue Demons

    the Northern side of the G was chockers last sunday

    People really think this is a factor? And you are guessing based on his Dad's team?

    Seriously.

    It's worked in Collingwood's favour many times. Certainly it has been a long time since people chose to go to Collingwood to secure a Premiership!

    There's probably a Clayton Oliver thread on the Saints board too ...

    It does explain why Judd, Franklin and Pendlebury were all so keen to come to Melbourne.

    If Oliver is out of contract this late in the season I would expect 17 clubs to be asking the question.

    Not worth what the Saints would want for him. 

    i dunno ethan, he's only 21 and very talented. knows how to find the pill and always dangerous in the forward line.

    i'd at least be sounding out his manager

    St Kilda will most likely want a player like Oliver, Brayshaw or Petracca in return as part of a trade.

    Scoop McClure said Billings was set to announce a new deal with St Kilda very soon on SEN this morning.

    This type of player is surplus to our needs.

    No.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.
