No idea what has been going on with Oliver and we still need to have real concern for Brayshaw.  Billings adds that little more depth.

Yeah he was  but  my question for you geniuses was which unfulfilled talent  did the Dee's make better?

Steven May had not fulfilled his talent.... fast forward and he has two AA jackets with Melbourne.

Try again

Another small body ..just what they dont need.

When has any player  thrived/ reached their potential after trading to the Dee's.. ?

Names please? Take your time 

 

 Bran Wilson, White and arguably Peter Moore 

Players pre and post being traded to Melbourne needs another thread.

I'm pro billings coming in for nothing which is what it looks like being.  still young enough with talent and skill no brainer

Seriously? 

They were all good at the time 

May was Captain

Lever a gun.

How is the latest unfulfilled high draft pick going in his new environment ?

Give me a break please.

Actually that he's not a big body is the problem I see

May, Lever and Hibberd became first time all Australians with us champion

So your argument is that because some trades don’t work we should never trade again. 
I’ll give Tim a call, tell him he’s fired.

Ingerson came from the Crows and was more than handy.

So back on Billings...

Any confirmation of details yet? Particularly around if Saints are paying any of his salary?

Apparently they will be paying some of his salary and it's likely a late pick or even a swap of picks i.e. we give our future 3rd and they give Billings and a future 4th.

Billing’s and McAdam are much bigger players then Chandler and Sparky, 10/12 cm more.

 

He needs to play fwd of centre or wing. Good depth.

I reckon Daniel Cross did rather well in red and blue! And in fact, he and his training regime helped to push the Melbourne football club Culture in the right direction.

Hi

we seem to have fixed that 26 points zone of death in 2023... we rarely got that far ahead 😉

Looking forward to rediscovering the zone in 2024

Billings for basically nothing is great business.

...subject to the cost, business-expense-budget(aka salary cap)-wise.

Thought this was a done deal and we were just waiting for the ink to dry …

 

Stephen Sylvani was just on Trade Radio and said they hadn't even spoken to Melbourne about Billings. So who knows. SOS would be the last person I'd trust on anything. Based on the Vibe. Nothing else.

It's a SOS special.... how that bloke is still working in AFL recruitment is beyond me.

Imagine having 60-70% misses at the Giants and Blues and continually given jobs....
