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

    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.

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

    Why not?

    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 ?

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

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
