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.

    Going back a fair ways.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
