Dunstan, Hunter, and now Billings?

Initially, I guess...

Welcome to the Dees JB. 

Really hope u go well and stick it up the  saints. 

Go Dees. 

What, Gus's uncle has joined the Dees?

 

I hope that if he’s fit and ready to go, we give him an extended run and don’t bring him in and out. Same height (close enough to) as Melksham, hopefully he can find a bit of grunt and could potentially be a replacement. Or not. Just spitballing here.

That's much more preferable to those who are already slagging him off.

Doesn't really have an aerial game like Melk

Hes competing with guys like Spargo and Chandler I reckon. Best case scenario he can be a similar link man to Charlie but finding the pill 20 times a game compared to Spargo's 12

Astute pick up! Cheap as chips, will surprise a few around here!

Different roles I would think, but you’re right about being given the chance. He has a chance to unseat the following in my mind; Hunter on a wing, or Chandler’s role as that ‘speed forward’ that gets up the ground and releases forward quickly when we turn it over.

I for one hope you are correct. 
All of Hunter,  Chandler started out like they were on fire and we’re going to become hero’s , sadly the heat disappeared a bit and they became a bit ordinary.   IMO .    Also Langers seemed to be just not the same as well.

hope they can all fire each other up.

Plays nothing like Jake M. Really couldn’t be more different.
More like Laurie/Hunter perhaps with half forward/ forward pocket role preferred. 

Really is probably different to all our skilled smalls which will be good. 

I think he'll get a chance in the midfield to give us a different type, with his outside class and ball use that we haven't had for a while

Did he play inside midfield for St Kilda?

Predominantly as a forward with a season or two on a wing

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?

Gees why didn't someone tell me. I could have sat up in the high chair and watched the replay.

I was reliably told that I listened with great interest the drawn GF and the replay between sleeps in my bassinet.

He has been a mainstay of the red, white and black for almost a decade, his most recent campaign was frustratingly bookended by stints on the sidelines through injury.

 

The left-footer has since come out the other side of off-season back surgery, steadily building his body back up and recapturing his form from 2019, which saw him just shy of a podium finish at that year's - Saints Trevor Barker Award.

Able to hold down a role coming off half-forward or help drive his side’s outside run, Billings’ adaptability will likely come in handy and I see him as a better class than the likes of Chandler, ( sad to say). As for Hunter, he MUST stay. I like him and frankly, I feel he had a better year than Langdon.

I think most Melbourne supporters acknowledge Spargo would be so much more useful if he could find the ball 15-20 times, rather than 10. He has the skills we need.

If Billings can do that plus generate a few shots himself, it’s a huge win. Helps that he’s a 6’1”-6’2” height too

You now have we worried for the welfare of Nick Watson in the event we draft him

Definitely before his time.

His best 'time' for our purposes would be 2017, when he managed both a goal and a goal-assist per game.

Interestingly, he had one eye on the door at St Kilda for quite some years, while his first six seasons (under Alan Richardson, no less) produced quite good football even if he was a whipping boy on account of being sandwiched between Jake Kelly and Marcus Bontempelli in the draft.

If he produced just his career 'norm', he'll be a valuable asset getting the ball forward effectively.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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

    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.
