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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
