Surely we aren’t about trade Chandler out ? 

no way. Chandler has other levels to go to. Billings is not a fwd. most wing/mid that drifts fwd

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

    Where is that coming from?

    Billings is listed as 185 cms.

    Previously used as a wingman.  Hunter is listed at 183 and Lingers at 182 - Billings might be more than depth if he can find some form.

     Bran Wilson, White and arguably Peter Moore 

    Billings is 28. Wilson and White were in their early 20's and Moore had a better career at the Pies.

    Brian Wilson was 29 by the time he left Melbourne

    Jeff White was 31 by the time he retired

    Have you been living under a rock? May became the best key defender in the game after he got traded to us. Not to mention that Lever and Hibberd have had their career best years under us too.

    Aside from maybe Jeremy Howe, I can't think of anyone in recent years who actually reached their potential after leaving Melbourne.

    Stef Martin, Darren Jolly. Toby Bedford has made a pretty good start at GWS.

    What's your point? I'm saying that when Wilson and White arrived they were in the infancy of their careers, so naturally they would blossom with experience. Billings is in the twilight of his career.

    I lived next door to those Billings' for a number of years. 

    Just a fun fact for the home viewer.

    2nd trade period in a row we've done a favor for Paul Connors which is probably smart business.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
