Happy with this

 

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.

    • 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.
