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.

    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?

    See Ghosty’ s earlier comment

    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.

    • 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.
