Offers depth and he is an upgrade to Chandler and Spargo imo

    @Dannyz is hearing what #ETthetradebreaker is hearing. To be announced after 2pm AEDST. If it doesn’t go through, they just lost the paperwork and it’s not my fault.

    Are we any chance of getting into bed with them regarding a pick swap with them? 

    We could pursue their pick 13 in exchance for a future 1st plus something else if we take on Billings' cash?

    That would leave us with picks 6,11 and 13 if Lamby could twinkle his wand of magic.

    Great thinking. Like it

    OUT: Hibberd, Dunstan, Jordon, Harmes, Grundy, Smith (Rookie)

    IN: Fullarton, McAdam

    Draft picks currently: x 3 (One could be used to upgrade McVee)

    So we have 3 senior spots left

    Also, if Melksham is moved onto a rookie contract, frees up another spot

    If I were any of Spargo, Chandler, Laurie and Moniz-Wakefield, and Melbourne were bringing in McAdam and potentially Billings this trade period, I would be getting my manager to find me a new home as soon as possible.

    Of course, it's possible that there won't be any interest because none of them are particularly good, but I certainly wouldn't be expecting those four to be playing regularly next year.

    Too late for that now! Probably why they left this so late.

    Chandler and Spargo stay, but I can see Laurie and Moniz Wakefield being played in the back half.

    I think our wingers might be the most nervous.

    Sounds like the Aints are doing a salary dump. We're basically swapping a 500k Harmes for a 500k Billings. 

    Fullarton McAdam and Billings in the trade period.

    No bigee.

    The top ten in the 2013 draft makes for interesting reading:

    1. Tom Boyd - Giants 
    2. Josh Kelly - Giants (pick traded from Melbourne)
    3. Jack Billings - Saints
    4. Marcus Bontempelli  - Bulldogs 
    5. Kade Kolodjashnij - Gold Coast
    6. Matthew Scharenberg - Collingwood 
    7. James Aish  - Lions
    8.  Luke McDonald - Roos
    9. Christian Salem - Dees (mid first round compensation pick from 2010 traded from Giants)
    10.  Nathan Freeman - Collingwood 

    Dees end up with three top 10 picks from that draft!   

    (note: we picked up hunt and traded in Dom Tyson as part of the pick swap that saw Kelly go to the Giants and Salo to us. A Paul Roos call)

    Three, actually.

    Happy with the Demons getting Jack Billings from the Saints.

    He is a good ball user and can kick goals.

    Will be a handy acquisition for our forward line and midfield.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
