He's been sacked has he?

Dunno. Haven't heard anything about him. Is he still there?

Billings does look comfortable at Melbourne. Looks exactly the same as he did with us. 15-20 disposals. Neat kicking and creative ball use. It's creative of you to think that Billings has creative ball use. Mediocre player 18 touches with 17 being uncontested and disposal efficiency of 61%....yeah ...

Billings has played 7 more games this year than quite few predicted on here. For a top team as well. Going quite well, seems to be settling in. Thought he was good against Tigers, well weighted passes set up scoring chances, presented options which are being increasingly honoured by teammates. Could...

It's also about developing your talent. We've got an Irishman on our list who was arguably the best young Gaelic footballer in his country. We know he's talented and competitive. We know he's an athlete. What resources are we utilising to get this guy ready and to teach him AFL skills? Do we have a...

Michael Christian is a spineless fool at best. At worst, he is corrupt. Get rid of him. He is an utter failure. He should have been shown the door three years ago. I think we would get better decisions made by a couple of old drunk guys at the local pub. Everyone is sick of the incompetence, the in...

gee I hope to god he plays 200 games :) Two of the worst judges on SS say he's no good, so bank on it 😭 :lol: Bailey Fritsch wasn't drafted until he was 20/21. Bailey Fritsch goals per game average after 40 games was equal to what Cooper's are. Should Melbourne have given up on Bailey after 40 game...

King has lost confidence in his kicking, which can be worked on, he has had issues in the past. Playing in the hardest position on the ground, as the main target forward, often with 2 on him, and often with poor delivery. I have no issues with his effort or attitude, probably feels as the main man u...

It's not really fair on young players if they continually get made sub. They're virtually on stand by and sacrifice their individual needs for the needs of the team. We made Jack Bytel the sub 4 times early last year. It messes with these guys form. Jack Steele was out with a broken collarbone and ...

Takeaway Petracca has a Norm Smith So Melbourne would be pretty happy The Gawn - Oliver - Petracca - Viney combo is as good as there has been!!! Petracca is the Most impactful mid in the game imo I don't disagree with you. I didn't see Killa's post as another McCartin vs Petracca Petracca is/has be...

Don’t you people ever tire of this nonsense Could have Should have Would have Simply, the requirement to obtain the Number 1 Draft Pick is to finish an AFL season at the bottom of the Ladder - BOTTOM So stone, motherless LAST So you are coming into a very poor side And so it goes with all early Dra...

I didn't see your votes in the voting thread. Why did you enter the convo? No really...why...are you interested in voting opinions? Did you want to discuss your opinions on who played well, who deserves votes and whose disposal efficiency needs work?....Or.... Are you just trying to get a bite? ......

What's NVM, Wilkie, Sinclair etc got to do with it then? I didn't see your votes in the voting thread. Why did you enter the convo? No really...why...are you interested in voting opinions?

Hill turned it over. His passing to teammates is not great. Very iffy. I don't think McGrath is very good. You're funny Hill had 25 touches and 7 of those were contested (that means if there's a loose ground ball and he was first to the footy he gets that counted as contested - it means you usually...

Riley had more touches on Saturday… then Jack has had in three of his games combined

Yep, you're right. Billings could never have 17 turnovers on a game, not even near it.

I don’t give a s*** what you say Brad Crouch had a great season in my eyes - terrific footballer Hard at it, finds the ball and tackles Love to do a stats compare with Libba - who was in an ‘elite’ midfield- that we flogged and they flopped! Put Bont in our midfield and see if we’d finish 11th You ...

Reading an article on The Roar about Jack Billings' move to Melbourne, Finn Arrowsmith noted a very interesting fact about St Kilda during the Alan Richardson era: " Player development was non-existent under new coach Alan Richardson; from the four drafts after Ross Lyon left in 2011, exactly ...

Courage on the footy field comes in many forms, however the fundamentals of the game demand that you sometimes need to focus on the ball at the expense of your own health. Nick Riewoldt attacked every contest as if his life depended on it. Jonathan Brown had to retire because he just didn't know ho...

Saints were hamstrung in getting a decent deal for Billings as he wanted out, and has hardly played for the last 2 years. Terrible deal though. He was certainly not encouraged to stay by his non selection late in the season, and no doubt the exit interview. I think the Dees will suit him, playing o...

This thread is much ado about nothing. He desperately wanted to go. Now he’s gone. The end. I know right, it’s like some supporters don’t understand one of the most fundamental components of “TEAM “ sport. You can give everyone an ore in the boat but if one member of the team doesn’t want to paddle...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nothing trumps Billings = Dal Santo Your multi year defence of the Hannebery trade back in 2019/20 comes close... you often told us 'be patient' it's a 4 year deal :oops: And what about your defence of Alan Richardson? Only person who would agree with you in 2019 was tedtheodorelo...
