Billing’s kicking is and always has been shizen

Some sessions with Tiger Woods’s Shrink will help.

    Same number of scoring shots 

    Bit like the last few years 

    yes yes this year’s sample is n=1 - hopefully not a portent of things to come (I might lose my mind)

    I always thought Bowza was a measured composed footballer, but how many times has he thrown it on the boot today with zero regard or spatial awareness??

    Has Jed Adams had a disposal?

    He’s had 4 times what Chandler has produced 😳

    How to fu the game umpires, call a free that doesn’t exist when all of our blokes are streaming forward because the obvious free was ignored!

    Not sure Max Viney’s tackling classes have done much unfortunately - we haven’t been able to stick tackles all day

    Bowey ain't best 22.

    Billings literally can't kick a goal to save his life. 

    Again, we get scored against too easily.

    It’s a practice game & hope Goodwin isn’t showing his hand entirely as we will do stuff all leaking 16 goals

    He’s not the player he was in year 1, a little muddled in the head still after a bad injury last year? Or from Steve May barking at our backline to chip it sideways and bomb it long for 3 years?

    Whatever it is he has to do better than this

    What in the world was Fritta thinking - in range, passes back to Billings - fails to score.

    Q4: Why would Fritter pass it to Billings???!!!

    Billings is possibly the worst finisher in the AFL! If he could actually finish off his work he'd be a decent player, he has no trouble finding the ball.

    22 behinds. It doesn’t really matter what your tactics are or what you do around the ground if you kick that many behinds. Make that 24

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
