Good legs in him for sure, but he has dad's preying mantis arms.

Wiry type, and still goes in when required. The sort of player who should be a classic late developer due to his small size.

    I'm surprised that in the 8 weeks or so we last saw him playing that that much muscle development is possible (assuming the player is not decked in red and black).  How much time would a player have to spend in the team to achieve a big difference in 8 weeks?

    And why can't it happen during the season?

    Stretch is a renowned good trainer and prepare himself well. He is in ripping knick!

    If you look back at last years pre season pics you will see he was pretty well developed then...it's not an 8 week occurrence but a work in progress.

    Breakout year for Billy? (couldn't resist.)

    8 weeks is ample time to jet jacked when diet and training is perfectly matched.

    Some of the boys looking tip-top. Most notably would be Stretch and Maynard.

    Balic has some scribble on his leg which might be new..?

    Who is the guy in the 3rd last photo?   Is bending down.

    Gee I hope AVB can have an uninterupted preseason. He's looking a bit top heavy. Those legs are looking pretty thin.

    If he can get his body right I hope he can really push for the third tall option fwd replacing Watts. Doesn't have Jack's foot skills/accuracy or maybe decision making but he can mark reasonably well and his work rate is A+ with excellent tackling.

    He was such a small baby his mother was left without Stretch marks.

    Good on Pedo for coming back early. I assume he isn’t obligated to.

    And lovely to see Viney running! Hope that foot holds up.

    Sitting up in the stands a little away from the ground on match days, I do find it difficult to tell players by their photographs.

    So, help me out please: who's the Shakespearean actor in photo number three?

    People are already recognising me.

    that's a nasty upper arm tumour you got there, red. i'd see a doc about that

    Stretch is naturally quite lean, so he looks bigger/more muscular than what he really is if you were to see him in real life (it's an optical illusion).

    Having said that he does look in ripping knick, and puts me to shame, lol. Onya Billy!

  • Quote

    If he can end up as good as his dad I will be happy, hopefully he will be a mid bloomer.

    Time in season cannot be dedicated to building size.  Playing, recovering, maintaining, etc is different to spending significant time and energy working on developing size and bulk.  Would expect the off season to be when these guys can accelerate their mass building

    Part of the problem is that they are ALL huge when you look at them individually.  It's only when compared to some of his teammates that Billy looks skinny.  I'm always shocked during the pre-season when I run into players in the crowd and have to process again just how BIG these guys are.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
