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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
