    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: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
