Had much worse seasons at the Dogs too like 2022. 

I thought that Hunter looked good in 2023 because I don't think Langdon had a great year.

.... then I had the thought that Langdon didn't have as good a year as 2021 and 2022 as we we played a large portion of our attack through him and Jordon and Brayshaw played more as a defensive wing.

Phew! Two thoughts before 10am there. I'm out till lunch soz

    Now play me all his worst shots... Ahh sorry, I can't watch for ten hours...don't have enough time...

    Anyway I want Melbourne to select me with pick 93.. just so I can fill my pockets.

     

    Ok but expect to be unfairly maligned before you even pull on a guernsey. I mean, that’s how you roll, right?

    So you play Billings 20-30 metres from the Goal Square 

    Get him fit, then “Kick 30 Goals for us in 2024 Jack” Another 20 from McAdam…

    The Aints are still paying him

    He can't kick, he's slow, he's really soft, I hear his mum is a drug dealer, there are rumours going around that he slept with his teammate's wife.

    Can't believe we wasted a 6th round draft pick on this hack. We could have recruited the next Bontempelli instead.

    Seems like an experienced depth player who can play forward or in the mid-field that is a good kick.

    Exactly what we need given some of the outs.  Play on.

    Unless he's a culture killer and St Kilda couldn't wait to get him out the back door, then I can't see one ounce of downside in getting a player who once had a 30 possession/5 goal game and recorded 12 Brownlow votes in one particular year, for a future 3rd rounder.

    At worst he's simply replacing JJ or Harmes in the depth department at maybe 250K a year??

    Sounds like a good bit of business at this stage.

    We're so deelightfully old school!

    (To ice this, I was hoping there was a Tom to join Jack Mueller (39,40,41,48) and Shane McGrath (41,48) in their premiership teams. Alas, there wasn't. 1900's Tommy Ryan and our TMac, who's been around seemingly forever anyway, must suffice.)

    Good he'll fit in. The more players we get that keep Collingwood's premirship out of the news the better.

    Jack Billings is definitely worth a try ahead of Harmes and Jordon.

    Highly astute pick up in the context of what we paid

    He has had to deal with the fact that the Saints took him at Pick 3 and the Bont went at Pick 4.

    StK fans have never cut him any slack and have ridden him hard.

    Nice bloke jack Mueller...used to say "how good would I have been with 5 fingers". ( Only had 3 on one hand.

    I believe kicked 8,6 and 6 goals in the PF,GF and GF replay in 48?

    For that contemporary, Petty-like, feel, too, he was at full back in his first GF, I think.

    • 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
