Billing’s can’t kick over a jam tin

 

Yep... that's the Billings way! I can't believe he still gets games!

I think Rivers behind the ball was about trying to use him to run and carry. 

And to help our flailing defense 

 

One of the more mechanically good kicks in our team can't make the distance.

I've never known what to make of Jake Billings.

oh god...billings! going for goal...

How on earth did we select a mature age AFL forward who can not kick a goal from 35m out?


Amazing what happens when you lock in on the shoulder at clearances and jump into Darcy.

Where was this in the 1st half?

[censored].

 

Billings worth every cent. 🤬🤬🤬

 

What's with us not turning up when playing Fremantle? Twice in the season already.

Of course not having a ruck has killed us all around the ground, but the effort has been subpar compared to the last 3 weeks.

I just want to see us fight in the 4th, not just roll over. Percentage will be huge to have any chance.

Billings was the most skilled kick in his draft. what happened?

is this a freaky friday type of scenario?


Cannot understand how we are so close

do not deserve to be anywhere near 

except they are trying

Surely Darcy is gonna run out of juice if they don’t feed him a few burgers at 3/4 time?

Im not sure what Goodwin or the recruiting team were thinking when they chose Billings.

Nor why they selected him ahead of Fullo for today's game.

The insanity inside the FD continues.

Yep and he’s done both and Salem’s been no different on ball whilst Viney and a little bit of Oliver have got more of it in the middle.

Good move from Goody. Freshen’s Trent up for next week too. 

Thought I'd get a head start and hit the toilet while Billings shoots for goal.

Came back, scores unchanged. Has he had his kick yet?

Atleast score a behind

You'd think so, wouldn't you

How can billings not even score?

6 goals will be hard but we can at least make this a contest. It’s also sad to see Longmuire so angry, he expected a total annihalation today.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
