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.

After Tassie crashed they have dropped their bundle. Commissioners will be busy unhooking their hollies to Europe


Key stats

Dees 7.15. Oh boy. Goalkicking problems across the whole squad

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

No comment…

it’s so obvious the agenda of Collingwood, Geelong and blues no other team matters one bit to the afl

Hawthorn are in there before Carlton.

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.

That’s really unnecessary.

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

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.

Where are on the ladder?

I can’t find the ladder.

We are have moved up to 10th. Just Google VFL ladder if you need to see it.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
