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.

    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: 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
