billings bog for mine; that goal he kicked was incredible

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

    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.

    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

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
