Pretty sure Kelly was a demons supporter as a kid. Can this be confirmed by one other person?

I would be surprised if this was the case. Josh’s Dad is Phil Kelly who played on the opposite wing to Keith Greg for North in the late 70’s.

    It would be close to impossible to land Kelly and Lever.

    In a perfect world I'd love to land Lever, sign Motlop as a free agent and then hit the drafts/trade for some class and run.

     

    Reliable source says that Motlop has spoken to Melbourne, Adelaide and one other unknown Melbourne club. Source thinks Adelaide are preferred.

    We need s trade rumours thread again. 

    Shows how things have turned.

    In every year gone past for the past decade, the trade rumour thread is the most exciting thing to read at this time of year.

    But not this year. Not yet at least. Our heart is still beating. Almost can't believe it.

    And it's about bloody time to Ron.

    While I agree with you, don't forget every player has an agent whispering in their ear who gets a percentage. I'm not saying agents are unreasonable but they are, by definition, conflicted in the advice they provide.

    Too true.

    I like rather than love statistics. But i get really frustrated with how hard it is to get access to decent stats.

    The AFL love to compare footy here to sports in the US but our media and our access to decent stats are a complete joke in comparison. It is overwhelming how much publicly available stats there is about the NBA baseball and NFL. And no doubt NHL.

    ATM, as i understand it only the clubs and some media outlets get all Champion data stats - because they pay for it. The AFL should buy the stats off Champion data and make it publicly available.

    I would love a thread on DL with up to date decent stats, particularly those about the MFC. For example individual player stats that are more detailed than that on AFL.com or free sites like footywire (which is a terrific site).

    Do any DL posters have aaccess to champion data stats? if so can they be shared - perhaps not all but at least some more detailed stuff?

    A thread a analyzing that sort of data would be really interesting.

    Kelly is a gun.

    But Kelly won't stop our leaky defence.

    Hibberd has a difficult enough time doing that atm.

    It won't hurt though if it's not down there as much

    The managers get relatively little. 3% I believe. Its mandated from the AFL. That is a $3k a year diff. Hardly earth shattering.

    Kelly staying at Giants according to Connors.

  • Quote

    If he's made up his mind to stay why the delay in the confirmation? Just sign the bloody papers.

    Could he ask for more if he blitzes West Coast, tears Richmond a new one then wins the Norm Smith?

    Just wanted to say LOL @ North Melbourne

     

    That is all

    In the long run " Loyalty" has a lot going for it, particularly if you are recognized by your club, your supporters and you are well rewarded for your efforts, I just hope that our "Young Guns" remember this when it comes to Re-Signing with the Mighty Dee's.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Good on you Josh - If we can't have you, stay where you are....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Someone posted a few weeks ago that Kelly was going to re-sign for two years.......then come to us.

    i remember that post, and immediately thought the same thing when i saw he was going to re-sign for just the 2 years.

    I guess it has to be said then.....................

    WELCOME TO THE MFC JOSH KELLY !!!!

    (in 2 years)

    Its happening right?

    And Pendles, Gaff, Prestia and Shuey, just to name a few, were Demon supporters. 

    It means nothing.

    To me it reads as I want to win a flag in the next two years and then return to Melbourne. There's no CBA to wait for now. His currency is at its highest and is unlikely to get any higher than what North are offering.

    Sounds believable AF....... if GWS don't win next year I do see some of their players leaving.

    There is just so long that you can ignore the money that will be thrown at some of them

    GWS are a far better chance then North at least for the next 5 years or maybe even more?

    Exactly. So why wouldn't you sign long term with GWS? That tells me he's going to stick it out another two years and then head back to Victoria.

    it'll be interesting to see what happens to the three recent signees:
    - whitfield: signed til 2020
    - kelly: signed til 2019
    - hopper: signed til 2019

    of all their 'in-demand' players only toby greene is signed on til end of next season, and he won't be a free agent - a year short - but he'll absolutely be in-demand

    but 2019 could be a bounty:
    - tomlinson: restricted free agent
    - shiel: rfa
    - buntine: rfa
    - haynes: rfa
    - coniglio: rfa
    - lobb
    - himmelberg
    - hopper
    - kelly

    all either rfa's or simply out of contract

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
