    Yeah he was  but  my question for you geniuses was which unfulfilled talent  did the Dee's make better?

    Maybe Brent Moloney? 

    Wasn't bad at the Cats though.

    So you're happy having 10 small forwards on the list and no midfield depth? That's bound to end well for us.

    Oh I forgot we’d finished making our selections at the draft and finalised our list and those we’ve slowly been introducing to some midfield time was just for [censored]$ and giggles and not to help us moving forward

    Stephen Sylvani was just on Trade Radio and said they hadn't even spoken to Melbourne about Billings. So who knows. SOS would be the last person I'd trust on anything. Based on the Vibe. Nothing else. 

    Asleep at the wheel.

    Melbourne supporters - we have too many inside mids who can't kick.

    Melbourne - trades for quicker outside players with skill.

    Supporters - we have no midfield depth

    Thought this was a done deal and we were just waiting for the ink to dry …

     

    Silvagni is doing his best Dodoro impersonation.

    The back and forth between the clubs would be mainly by Billing's manager so no surprise that the clubs themselves haven't spoken.  Silvagni is there now to sign the paperwork before 7pm for what was agreed.

    Why is your name a pale blue colour?

    Agree

    The manager would have been given parameters including the salary chip in amount so it should be done.

    That aside a strange comment as it would have taken him (SOS) literally 30 seconds to understand the deal outline

    Trade Radio much the better for Silvagni finding gainful full time employment!

    As much as I’d like to get involved in a pile on and prove to @IRW that their post was rubbish, I have news:

    Apparently Tom Morris likes his surname pronounced like how a French person would say “Maurice”.

    And does he prefer Tom-[censored] or Tommy ET?

    That colour is gentle on the eye. 

    ha ha, it looks a bit harsh to me.  I believe the system chose it...

    ...Andy might change it.

    I've run out of 'storage space' to post images etc.  I've been deleting 'attachments' like crazy but to keep the Contracts thread going Andy put me into the 'Contributors' category as it was the only way to increase my storage space.

    Billings as we're looking to trade Chandler in a "move up" deal involving him with picks?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
