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.

    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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
