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.

    A Jack, a Tom and a Shane.

    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.

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
