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.

Well, we do live in an age of “alternative facts”.

    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.

    Billings 172 games, pretty phenomenal. Don't even compare him to Laurie who. Will struggle to play another dozen or so.. Hate to be brutal, but thats where its at!

    This is hilarious, I started on the final page of the thread and saw this. Thought oh damn we lost!

    This is too funny, I mean I know they pay university students to write up these articles but this is next level embarrassing.

    Free kicks. Pies 33. Dees 17. Umps were poor again and clearly biased. It’s exasperating!!!

    So many questions. First one: why is Casey playing Collingwood at the Whitten Oval?

    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.

    His sweet spot is probably as an unused emergency in the senior side.

    Is he a better supersub than Sharp?? PLAYED 174 games is a bloody good effort! IMO

    casey win 7.15.57 to 7.6.48

    all single goalscorers for the dees - laurie, hardie, ireland, mentha, kentfield, billings, cross

    billings bog for mine; that goal he kicked was incredible

    image.png

    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 thought Bonners ball use was pretty good last night!

    Or maybe the free kicks were there. There's no rule that says that both sides have to receive roughly the same amount of frees.

    No. But double the free kicks and the Pies were DEFINITELY favoured without question.

    No, but some of the frees from last night could make a good start for a AFL comedy umpire video.

    So true Demonstone but they chose to pay most of Pies but failed to pay similar ones for the Casey boys, very frustrating indeed maybe they were trying to help the Pies achieve the AFL write up. lol.!!!

    It's not meant as a derogatory comment Slartibartfast. I think he sits in the 24-27 bracket in our pecking order. We're fine for wingers and pressure forwards now with Lindsay, Langford, Lingers, Chin, Kolt and Spargs. I don't think he should be playing ahead of any them. Harry Sharp could be in the same bracket but has 7 years on him. He might be a head of Jack Henderson.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
