Warming to the idea of Billings. While he isn't a genuine midfielder at the moment;
1) He may become such a player. Rockliff was for all intents and purposes a medium forward pre-draft, for example.
2) Even if he never becomes a full-time midfielder, he should at the very least be able to rotate through there along with Selwood, Shuey, Masten, Wellingham and probably Gaff, along with any future picks. Our midfield has suffered from a lack of flexibility, something Billings provides more than say Sheed.
3) Quantity of clearances isn't our issue so much as spread, ball delivery and goalkicking from midfield; things Billings does very well.

Can we somehow get stuck into a free agent/player from another team to come play for us? We are screaming out for a disposal efficient ball magnet with excellent extraction skills. Its the key to us jumping the ladder!

Might not be a midfielder now but surely if we gave him a pre-season that midfielders should do he would become one.

I'm having second thoughts on Yarran. Hasn't really set the world on fire this year (from what I've seen), however that might change if he ends up being traded to us. I really hope he can get back to his 2012 form if he ends up coming over, that'd be brilliant.


Conca's hamstring better not be a sign of further injuries to come. :confused: Still haven't heard the full extent of the injury as of yet though.

Yeo is considering a move back home from Brisbane according to afl.com.au. Any thoughts on him?

Sorry to bump this again but I'm keen to get Yeo to the club and by the sounds of things the club has inquired. The sticking point will be that Brisbane probably won't take anything less than a 2nd rounder for him.

The longer the Lions go without a coach the better for us and any team chasing home sick Lions at the moment

Take this one with a grain of salt, and i'm doubting it's true but..

2014 AFL Trade, Delisting and Recruitment Rumours
Multiple sources have provided mail that want-away Tiger Dustin Martin has been seen having dinner with Darren Glass, Trevor Nisbett and Scott Burns at an up market Subiaco restuarant. Speculation is rife regarding the young star's playing future and this only adds fuel to the fire that Martin wants out of Richmond as well as Victoria. Perhaps the infamous jailhouse gesture displayed by Dustin during their loss to Carlton was also symbolic of his decision to refuse a new contract at Tigerland?

Not buying, Humphrey B Bear and Spiderman said it wasn't true.

No offence intended Kane

Holding on to a glimmer of hope that this is true. He is a genuine superstar in the making if he screws his head on. Imagine him and Naitanui together. Yeh you all just came.

Dustin Martin.. WCE.. Unreal..

Total BS that he was over here though, someone would have sighted him elsewhere - the haircut and neck tattoo stand out, especially with his face being plastered all over the news for the last three days.

please be real...

The Morton thing came out of nowhere as well last year with the photo of him in Subi even dismissed as being fake (me included in that).

Stranger things have indeed happened (I won't be holding my breath though).
