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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
