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.

    Robert Elliot was a pretty good player.

    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.

    He’s been playing with the Saints no wonder he’s been ordinary over the last few years.

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

    Highly astute pick up in the context of what we paid

    Always struck me as the type who would find the next level in a better side

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
