We won that deal by so far it isn't even funny.

Cant believe people rate Josh Kelly so highly, hes done no more than Salem so far and shown nothing more either. Seems people drool over him cos he was taken at pick 2, who cares? Salem was pick 9 and Tyson pick 3

even if it was just a 1 for 1 dell Tyson for Kelly Id still say we came out on top

Kelly has done A LOT more than Salem so far. That is partially only due to Salem having next to no pre-season.

Kelly has already shown what he is capable of, now we are starting to see Christian Salem show what he is capable of.

I thought they were hard to split at the time of the draft, I had Salem at 1 and Kelly at 2, but hard to split.

Hopefully we can land Josh Kelly in the future, he should definitely be the no 1 target of the MFC, without a doubt.

Agree we came out on top, I believe Dom Tyson is a better player than Josh Kelly right now and will continue to improve after his first full pre season, Salem on todays form is a very handy bonus that pushes the trade clearly into our favour at this stage.

however i think Josh Kelly will be a star, and start really impacting games as soon as this year, but if he is ever going to be so good that he makes this trade look like an absolute stuff up on our end as people have suggested he will have to be the next Gary Ablett jr, because our boys i think are both on the way to being genuine A graders

at worst it's 1 superstar for 2 stars.

I don't even think the Salem/Kelly part of it is that important. Tyson was 2nd in the B&F last year and thus is already our second best player behind the skipper. Kelly can be as good as he likes, Tyson's impact on this club alone makes the trade a good one. Hutchison showed his lack of sense by questioning it.

I know it's easy to munge all the peanuts in to one, but I'm assuming you mean Barrett.

Sometimes I think I should save some space in my precious memory and just refer to the three of them as "Hutchettinson".

This is one of the most ridiculous things i have read in regards to Kelly. While im happy with the trade, Kelly showed last year he will be a star. You obviously didn't watch his game against us both times when he ran rings around us.

Its a win win for both clubs

Barrett has been the most vocal about it but Hutchison also questioned it during the telecast today, amongst the awkward banter with Pickering.

I have done my supercoach and have both jones and Tyson, that is all

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should think about squeezing Christian Salem in your supercoach.

he is on my watchlist

Salem does look very good. Needs to get more of it - not that I'm worried about that right now... young kid and all - but when he has it you know it's going to put to good use.

Happy to go a bit early on him not getting enough... and get it wrong, Boy does this kid look polished. Still young, and because of that is still learning, but a 23 yo Chris is something to look forward to.

How about something more onomapotoeic, like... "Barchsit".

I love this video anyway, but check out Jones at 2:43, 6:10, 8:40 and Tyson at 9:05, 11:04, 12:30.

If these two aren't stars this year, it'll only be because the rest of the side are so bad that we're unwatchable to the rest of the league.

For me our next break out star will be Frosty.

Has all the attributes to be an excellent defender and then attack when rerquired

A great highlight reel but it also shows why Watts, Dawes and JKH, will remain integral to our forward structure now that it has been augmented by the inclusion of Hogan and Garlett!

People on this board overrate JKH way too much...

He wins a lot of one on ones , is atheletic has pace and flashes of brilliance call it x factor , he will make mistakes/ is learning but he showed his class against the dogs yesterday with some decent play quick hands and foot skills . watching him at training he looks an absolute jet marking at pace and height well balanced and a decent kick both sides . Confident kid also .

know he doesn't play for us, but Nakia Cockatoo has star written all over him, wish we'd managed to draft him.

Tyson for me too judging by last year.Expecting even bigger things this year.

Tyson is too good to be a "break out" he broke out last year. He already is a star and will enhance his star status further this year.

Look at the list none of those players have done anything yet while Tyson finished 2nd in the B&F last year.

Jones to win Brownlow, newton is a very good player just power have many good mids, can't play them all, watts,Jeffrey and Hogan to all kick 35 plus goals each.

Yep.

I like JKH, very good mover. Give him a couple more seasons he will regularly make blokes look silly.

 

I reckon Gartlett and Lumumba will each have a really good year.

I'm also hoping that Jack Watts will become our Gunston now that we have, on paper at least, a well balanced forward line: talls and smalls.

Tyson and Salem are the running players who seem likely to get greater recognition. And Vandenberg.

I hope Hogan as the whole team structure would take on a new appearance and allow us to play different and more flexible footy.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
