Are we better off with Tyson and Salem OR Kelly plus either Taylor, Crouch or Hartung?

That is a good question which can't really be answered for a few years.

Honestly it really doesn't bear worrying about. The die has been cast.

And surely we're due for an even break (or even a win).

 

Its like saying am i better of with the family ive got, or should i have got married to someone else and had different kids.

Only time will tell.....

Well we are clearly better with the first option, which exists, as the second option does not and will never exist.

It could be construed as a silly question really, or at very best a hypothetical.

No. Trade with GWS was very simple it was 2 and 20 for 9 and Tyson. Sylvia compo went to Adelaide for Vince so I'd leave that as a separate transaction.

That said the Vince v Pick 25 or whatever it was could be answered pretty quickly next year because any form of input from Vince and an improved side makes that the right decision even if Matt Crouch becomes a star.

The GWS deal could also be almost solved pretty quickly if Tyson has a break out year and makes a big contribution to us winning games then we've already won. If Kelly then became a champ then GWS would've won as well but that's irrelevant to us.

Right now as it stands obviously Salem impresses me more than anyone who we would've had available 10-15 picks later and I'm not convinced by any gap between Kelly or Tyson. 2 different players who are both young, unproven and have different strengths with neither having a clear edge in talent.

Right now the advantages of Tyson having a couple of years in the system and of spreading the pressure of expectation on kids being the next big thing is the major positive of the deal. Instead of saying Kelly will be the next superstar and putting pressure on him we can let Salem develop in the VFL and Tyson can make immediate impact.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
