F3rd and saints are paying part of his salary, good for depth and if he reaches his potential he could be anything.

and it doesn't hurt our push for a top 4 pick on draft night!

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

    Is that how you view it? Ie Billing’s wanted to get out of Saints desperately?

    What’s the main issue with Billing’s? I must say I haven’t followed closely this thread or his career so apologies if it has been covered in depth.

    My Brother thinks he's a list clogger.  

    I don't share his perturbation.  But there will be others with a similar view.

    Good bit of business by the Dees.

    Oh well! Let's see if he can get on the park. 

    Might plug a gap here and there but my expectations are low.

    He won't solve our goalkicking woes but might be a handy link in the chain.

    That's a potential improvement provided they can remain on the park for the most part and we can clean up the way we bring the ball in (more so for McAdam)

    For me, Billings has just gone from ‘yeah, nah’ to a ‘sound investment’.  We needed to refresh our list a bit.  Billings is part of it.

    For me he’s better suited to the role we were having Jordon play in 2022. And might give Hunter or Langdon a scare if they don’t pull their fingers out. He’s quick, a good runner, good field kick (has shocking goal kicking yips though) and hasn’t ever really had a chance to put his best out there consistently.
    This is some of the midfield depth we lost with Jordon and Harmes, not inside depth, but depth that complements our inside mid strength (Oliver, Viney, Trac, Sparrow). Shrewd and cheap.

    Yep and this is a BIG IF. If he can get fit and has a decent run at it I reckon he's a lock for best 22. Guy can play providing his body stands up. Good move by us.

    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.

    James Frawley played 100 games and won a flag with Hawthorn.

    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. 

    A consequence of an inability to string several words into a coherent sentence.

    He probably is, but you take your chances when you’re in the window.

    Would love to take 2nd and 3rd round picks over keeping a few oldies on the list mind you, but upgrading the best 22 and filling in the playing list up to 30 or so useful players has generally been this recruiting teams focus rather than chasing talent.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
