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

    Maybe Brent Moloney? 

    Wasn't bad at the Cats though.

    So you're happy having 10 small forwards on the list and no midfield depth? That's bound to end well for us.

    Oh I forgot we’d finished making our selections at the draft and finalised our list and those we’ve slowly been introducing to some midfield time was just for [censored]$ and giggles and not to help us moving forward

    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. 

    Asleep at the wheel.

    Melbourne supporters - we have too many inside mids who can't kick.

    Melbourne - trades for quicker outside players with skill.

    Supporters - we have no midfield depth

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

     

    Silvagni is doing his best Dodoro impersonation.

    The back and forth between the clubs would be mainly by Billing's manager so no surprise that the clubs themselves haven't spoken.  Silvagni is there now to sign the paperwork before 7pm for what was agreed.

    Why is your name a pale blue colour?

    Agree

    The manager would have been given parameters including the salary chip in amount so it should be done.

    That aside a strange comment as it would have taken him (SOS) literally 30 seconds to understand the deal outline

    Trade Radio much the better for Silvagni finding gainful full time employment!

    As much as I’d like to get involved in a pile on and prove to @IRW that their post was rubbish, I have news:

    Apparently Tom Morris likes his surname pronounced like how a French person would say “Maurice”.

    And does he prefer Tom-[censored] or Tommy ET?

    I've run out of 'storage space' to post images etc.  I've been deleting 'attachments' like crazy but to keep the Contracts thread going Andy put me into the 'Contributors' category as it was the only way to increase my storage space.

    Billings as we're looking to trade Chandler in a "move up" deal involving him with picks?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
