Welcome to the Dees Jack. I'm confident the Dees will give you every opportunity to thrive. I hope you flip the bird to Stephen "we haven't spoken to Mebourne" Silvani on the way out.

 

 

Good business I reckon. A upgrade on harmes and cheap as chips. If it doesn’t work out it hasn’t cost us much. If he finds form (and stays fit) then there is only upside.

We've done ok to upgrade our class and X factor with McAdam and Billings in and Harmes and Jordon out.....got so many grunt players it worthwhile trading in a bit more skill

I think this assessment is good. Upgrade in quality for both assuming Billings is fit.

A worry that McAdam is 28yo and only played 50 games. Am I missing something?

I'd rather have Billings than McAdam.

And can we have both?

The Billings method probably will lead to less scoring opportunities in comparison to other methods.

But when it doesn’t work as planned - straight through the middle 

As a side note, does Billings have a rather worse-for-wear painting of Dorian Gray in his attic?  The guy rivals Bernie Vince in the perpetually youthful appearance department.

Billings has kicked 108 goals and 123 points in his career. For a skilful player he’s a dreadful kick for goal and his field kicking doesn’t stack up either.

We’re getting McAdam - 72 goals, 40 behinds for some forward line depth. 

If we had faith in his body he could do Hunter’s job but we don’t need another Hunter.

Of the perennially injured saints players I’d prefer Dan McKenzie who was looking like a very handy quick wingman before his body blew apart. 

An other day an other sook from you

Robert Elliot was a pretty good player.

Number 6 jumper number if I remember QB? Loved watching him play at the "G" with Dad.......not long after we got our memberships through. Dad put all our names down in the early 50's.:)

Definite skill upgrade on Harmes and Jordon, but he doesn't have the work rate of either of them. Horrible yips in front of goal, and he will have to do a power of work in the pre-season to convince me he has the 2-way running demanded by Goodwin. My hope is that one of Woewodin, Moniz-Wakefield or other will take the Hunter wing, and Billings might be fighting them or Spargo/Chandler for a spot.

Happy to be proven wrong.


Absolutely rapt with this pick up. i reckon he's going to find his way into our team for round 1 and stay there. he's an upgrade on Spargo in every measure, he's got the kicking skills, but he will be 10 times more damaging and will slot more goals

Anyone who refers to us as the Mighty Dees has my tick of approval. 👍

My key takeaways; Paul Connors rates us. He doesn’t rate St Kilda. 

He makes a lot of cash from the Dees. He manages some of our best players. 
Also nice of him to acknowledge that SOS woke up in time to chat to Melbourne 😂

A lot of Dlanders were on the Jack Billing’s bandwagon early 👍 I wasn’t aware of our interest until late today. Looks like another good pickup., certainly helps cover some of our depth concerns, hope he is as fit and firing as his manager suggests.

Welcome to the MFC Jack Billings I hope you get a clear run at it at the Dees we could certainly use more skills in front of the ball, look forward to seeing you out on the G next year.

Where does play?  Does he rotate through the midfield and then spend time forward?

High half forward

I think I'm right in saying he was a mature age recruit.

Played his first game at 23 IIRC

 

New babies will be created after his exploits on the field are realised and celebrated in around 11 months time.

Great bit of late business by Lamby and Co.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
