the votes from my spot on the other side of town...

6: billings
5: campbell
4: laurie
3: hardie
2: woewodin
1: bonner

you can see why bonner didn't make it at afl level; he gets a heap of the ball and really doesn't use it well enough for a player who is predominantly on the outside of the contest

    I think I've officially watched the worse game of footy ever.

    You clearly didn't watch the first 89 minutes of the Subway Socceroos vs Japan last night

    Billings will go down in history as one of those classic “too good for VFL but not good enough for AFL” players.

    Laurie probably the same.

    couldn't agree more

    same situation as mitchell white, riley bonner

    That was never say die old fashioned football in less than ideal conditions. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A gritty win to Casey.

    Yes.

    Do we add Woe into that mix as well or too early? Such a terrible shot at goal. Showed something in the clinches in and under though. Was he asked to play that role tonight or is it just starting to click?

    Thought Laurie, Woe & Billings were the diff in that second half.

    I turned it off about the 60 minute mark.

    One of the most boring matches i'd witnessed at that (world cup qualifying) level.

    Was it Woey2.0 that was next to the filth player that got a freebie on our forward flank. A quick jab in the guts was it. They replayed it once but I had no sound

    Yes.... was a love tap pushing off his opponent. The opponent milked it big time. Should've been play on. The umps love the filth.

    It was a hard watch but even harder to look away, I thought that they would overrun us but Casey are very gritty and appear to have found their belief, even with so many outs, they never dropped their heads, what happened with Adam’s and Hore gave the Pies a bit of a run on and a bit of an edge until Billings and Cross snuffed them out. Go Casey.

    Missed the game tonight but just read this thread from the first bounce to the final siren.

    Well done posters.

    To say that you gave me a feel for the game is understating it

    Thanks to all

    Respectfully disagree.

    Billings has played 172 AFL games over 12 seasons, averaging about 14-15 games per season. Clearly he has been good enough for AFL: he is in the top 1000 all time VFL/AFL games played (over 13000 have played at least 1 game, and only ~4000 have got to 50 games).

    Has he been an AFL star or able to regularly dominate at AFL level? No. Maybe right now he fits the "too good for VFL but not good enough for AFL" descriptor, but it doesn't sum up his career.

    However right now I thinkthat is how Laurie is tracking. He'll get more chances this year and next, but I suspect ultimately he will be not be good enough to play regularly at AFL level.

    Noah was selected to play for the Oakleigh Chargers against the Sandringham Dragons in tonight’s Coates Talent League game.

    And just for the record, Noah Yze was among the best players and had 23 disposals (8 kicks, 15 handpasses), 6 tackles and 3 inside 50s and kicked a goal for Oakleigh Chargers in their 26-point win over Sandringham Dragons last night.

    I only saw the last quarter but I was pleased (?) that TMac was there. Solid , reliable, did not panic. Hope he did well the first 3 quarters

    Hopefully not. I think that Bill could be a good AFL level player if he was given a reasonable go at it

    Unfortunately, for us, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was at another club.

    Mason Cox's second goal with just minutes remaining helped seal a nine-point win for the Magpies over Casey.

    The 211cm big man, who was dropped for last week's AFL win over Hawthorn, also had nine disposals, three clearances and 22 hitouts rotating through the ruck.

    The whole article is written up as a Filth win. No mention of a Casey player anywhere. AFL is The Filth

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
