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.

Names please? Take your time 

 

 Bran Wilson, White and arguably Peter Moore 


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

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

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.

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....

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
