Interesting to hear this morning that Sam Mclure had mentioned  Josh Kelly was being sounded out by every single Victorian club but Melbourne was on top of that list. He then did say that Kelly was set to turn down offers and remain at GWS for 2 more years.

    Interesting, but how can we be on top of the list if he is set to turn everyone down?

    We will be the first ones that he turns down?

    So much for being a "destination club"!

    Is it too late to offer Grimes, Terlich, Jones and Michie? Four for one is a pretty good deal right!? 

     

    Remember when we used to actually suggest trades like this?

    why would anyone want to leave the giants? Sure he might have to take a pay cut but they might win the next 5 flags

    Salem, Hunt....put the band back together with Kelly.

    Why not?

    I read that as us being the most likely destination if he did decide to come back to Vic.  I could be wrong, but it sure sounded good to me.

    That's what GWS would want for a trade.

    Nope - they'd want Salem and Tyson.

    Ohh hold on ...

    GWS will become a destination club for players wanting a flag. Last time I checked Kelly hadn't won a flag...he isn't heading anywhere anytime soon.

    Usual off season bull dust journalism

    He's exactly what we need, gut running and outside class. Not that we don't need Tyson and Salem just as much, but we already have them! Certainly no point having that debate again!

    I'm sure the club would have a list of out of contract players around the league and they'd probably have lists of the best players per positions of need. Kelly would be high up on both.

    Dustin Martin has put off contract talks till end of year, he is a free agent so wouldn't cost anything but wouldn't be cheap so I doubt we could get him

    A destination for guys like Griffen, Mumford, Shaw, Deledio. And a spot that some young draftees enjoy more the battling QLD teams. Some guys will enjoy the club and enjoy anonymity. 

    But I think they'll always be plenty of guys keen to come back to Victoria and play for teams down here but they won't be picking the bad (or small) Victoria teams unless it's unique circumstances like the Boyd deal. 

    Certainly think Kelly stays given how close they are to a flag. Might be interesting to see what happens if they win a couple and players decide they want fresh challenges but I hope that doesn't happen.

    He's leaving cause he doesn't want to play with Sculldog Millionaire. Nothing is more certain. Who'd blame him really.

    I wonder how true that is. I could imagine some players would see a GWS flag as a bit unreal, not connected to any footy history compared with being part of a flag by an old establshed team, while others may see being in early GWS flags as big thing to be in at the beginning of new history.  I reckon most would much prefer a flag with an old club, but I can see that desire being beaten by the desire for a flag, any flag and GWS giving the best probability.

    I'll call it..Melbourne has as much chance of a Flag before the Giants.

    Yep I'm mad.....or am I ?

    We;ll be up and running this year. We can beat the Giants..we actually know how... bizarre at that is..cant beat other teams we ought to but somehow we have'm worked out.

    Point being.. No  team is a monty for the Granny.

    They havent the miles on the board yet...one day...they will ...not yet. 

    Players will start coming to us...just you watch.......oh wait  ...

    We need to learn how to beat St Kilda, North, EssUndone before we can be nearly satisfied and thinking about finals.

    When did we last beat them up there?

    We beat them in round 23 in 2015 in a game where they had about 12 out, wasn't really an AFL standard game. Then we fluked a win in round 1 this year when they ran all over us for the middle half of the game and kicked a bucket load of points. 

    I think the formula for beating them is pretty simple - smash them at the contest, isolate defenders, cut down their outside run - but I'm not convinced we'll do it again any time soon. We'll have to show our run is dramatically improved this year and we'll have to have the skills at a high level like they were in round 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
