    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

    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.

    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

    ...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....

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
