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.

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.

We'll, you asked for it, now you're getting it.

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

And is a much better poster since being traded from Big Footy.. 🤪


Billings for basically nothing is great business.

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

 

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. 

Just now, Demonland said:

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

 

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....

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
