All i can say is "ye of little faith"

On Trac, he will gradually have that inevitable body change from Jarman (similar ability)  to Flower/Schwartz (pure poise and power)

Imagine that...

We gave up our pick 2 to GWS in 2013 who picked Josh Kelly & we will need to pay overs to get him now...

Considering we're a finals bound team with many valued players tradewise even without his addition, shows we've still done well out of that trade. To have a player become a superstar like him and come to us, means we'd be paying unders to get him ie we have enough depth if we trade a good player and our first round picks are not high ones. 2x Pick 12-18

Just funny how things could work out...We got Tyson, Salem & Hunt from this deal so was a win on both teams

The Draft and Trading board is going to be great this year.    Great players possibly on the move (Lever, Kelly), we are a destination club finally and we own our 1st rounder unlike last season. 

But whats even greater is that it isnt open yet! And hopefully isnt until our last game is finished (ie. the Grand Final)

I'd be a bit annoyed. I mean we have Salem and Tyson. But the fact we could have had him for just one first rounder, and will have to give up way more to get him now is a bit embarrassing.

Check the date on that paper. It might be referring to James Kelly going to Essendon as a top-up player.

I heard the same thing as well. Guess with Watson leaving and having few star players gives the filth some $$$ to throw at him.

Heard a strong rumour that Kelly is deal done to Dons.

For what that's worth. ;)

I've heard Richmond have an offer for him that's as good as any if dusty does go.

St Kilda will have a bookies bag to throw around with Riewoldt and Montagna retiring . SO do not count therm out. Maybe we could get Seb Ross as an outside Mid.

Good player but from what I am hearing the peptiders are in poll position on this one. With Jobe, Stanton and a few others finishing up they have a lot to play with.

Source? Sauce? What sort of sauce? 

And I guess Gillon would be fully on board (and maybe offering some gentle persuasion) as the poor Druggies were so hardly done by.

Were R and M veterans, and if so would their departure free up quite so much?

Just to be sure you are not taking the pizz....

Don't be revisionist. When we did that deal we were desperate to inject some talent into the side immediately. We won 2 games for the year and had Terlich and Matt Jones finish 3rd and 4th in our B&F. It was a dire situation. 

We did the pick 2 deal and got Tyson and Salem. Tyson's first year was a stand out. Had we taken Kelly and had to wait 4 years for him to blossom who knows where we would be.

My brother (who's a Dons tragic) plays footy with a Don's bigwig, reckons it's been a lock for months...

Yeah people say that. I don't buy it. I reckon had we waited for another round, or waited for rookies he'd still be ours. He was completely out of nowhere. Noone saw him coming. Incidental where the pick was.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
