Out of contract at the end of this season and Demons rated him (allegedly) higher than Josh Kelly in the 2013 draft. Has played 62 games and is having a breakout season. Could fill that skillful outside role as well as having the ability to go forward and hit the scoreboard. Would cost a lot and I can't actually see him leaving the Saints this year, but for mine is definitely worth the discussion.

 

Also can't see him leaving but he'd be a great addition. I'd rather Lever though.

Excellent proposal. It would be tough indeed. Certainly worth the discussion. Should also come at a lower cost than that rumoured for Kelly.


Grew up as an Essendon supporter (assumption based on his father's team) so I could image that he might consider there first.

Trade Tyson and Salem for him ;)

In all seriousness, I think he would frustrate the hell out of us. Having a great season but for a good kick always misses when going for goal.

Yup his finishing is terrible

Hes kicked 20 goals 32 behinds this season. And god knows how many missed everything or fell short.

I think he could fill the very valuable role Petracca/Melks type role on our forward flank nicely at the very least! Of course its all what we give and wants the come.
As mentioned our recruiters rate him highly so would not be surprised if he ends up being our big get.

Still young,  will be a quality midfielder in time. Has great skills so it's very strange his goal kicking is so bad. One-eyed jack could be forgiven for missing on the weekend. 

Id go after him hard. Although saints lack class so they'd be crazy to let him go

Not for me. Chip-scab possessions. Little hurt factor. Had a great last two weeks but has been ordinary for large parts of this year.

Want my outside mids to be line breakers with genuine toe. Prefer likes of Kelly and Whitfield if giving out first round picks.

Lever will cost 2 first rounders. Saints won't be asking for much less for Billings 

Serious consideration...

Salem must be a little shaky with his form/injuries and bad report from last week

Trade month is gonna be great this year if we make September. 

Players will love to play at The G when it is full of Red and Blue Demons

the Northern side of the G was chockers last sunday

People really think this is a factor? And you are guessing based on his Dad's team?

Seriously.

It's worked in Collingwood's favour many times. Certainly it has been a long time since people chose to go to Collingwood to secure a Premiership! 

There's probably a Clayton Oliver thread on the Saints board too ...

It does explain why Judd, Franklin and Pendlebury were all so keen to come to Melbourne.

If Oliver is out of contract this late in the season I would expect 17 clubs to be asking the question.

Not worth what the Saints would want for him. 

i dunno ethan, he's only 21 and very talented. knows how to find the pill and always dangerous in the forward line.

i'd at least be sounding out his manager

St Kilda will most likely want a player like Oliver, Brayshaw or Petracca in return as part of a trade.

 

This type of player is surplus to our needs.

No.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
