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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
