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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
