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

Adelaide good. The further the west he goes, the better I think.  As far from us as possible.

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

    It means nothing.

    Not that i'm a footballer, but as a fan, it doesn't exclude the possibility that the melbourne demons or any club you go for an interview with that you supported growing up, might be full of a bit of a [censored] atmosphere and the coach doesn't sound like he knows that much in comparison with others you've interviewed for. Personal fit etc

    Next headline: North Melbourne the front runner for *INSERT PLAYERS NAME HERE*

    After tonight's game they'll offer Motlop 800k per year.

    What would need to occur (or what is the chance) of prising J Kelly away from GWS this trade period?

    GWS would probably ask for Gawn, Oliver, Hogan, T. McDonald, Brayshaw and Petracca in return.

    Yeah, you're right @Clint Bizkit.

    I'm thinking in terms of this shift towards 'pre-agency' from clubs... 

    He's one year off becoming a free agent (am I wrong on this?), andGWS may want to maximise their return...this year instead.

    He was drafted in 2013 so next year is his 6th year so he's not an FA until 2021.  He is out of contract next year.

    I'm sure we wouldn't be the only ones to offer him a contract...

    It would be tempting to move Hogan on for Freo's 2018 and 2019 first round pick. Then use that 2019 pick (along with our 2019 pick) to make a play at Kelly at the end of next year, unless, he is a free agent. Kelly is exactly what we need. He is the missing piece.

    Today shows we are still way off it.   Kelly must be priority #1 !

    You know I don’t think it does, we have shown all year we play a style that stacks up, we just had a nightmare of a day. 

    In saying that I agree that kelly should be a target

    GWS are presumably in the same boat with Kelly as we are with Hogan.

    Trade/resign him this year or he can leave next year (2019) in return for  a desultory draft pick.

    Makes one wonder about the possibilities except that a straight trade would not be of interest to GWS given the talls they already have.

  • Quote

    GWS ain't gonna trade Kelly this season. They're doing everything possible right now to free up cap space to try and keep him at the club. I still think we are the top of the list right now. North are paying everybody a million backs and will surely be out of space by next season. We know via PJ that we have room for a big player if he wanted to come, the problem is our position in the draft. When Kelly becomes available next season does everyone think a first rounder and future first rounder will be enough? i think the deal will be a lot more complex.

  • Quote

    I would offer kelly a massive deal. He is exactly what our team needs. He is the sort of player who would take us from very good to great potentially.

    While i think we do need an outside player, i'd still question our key defenders. Oscar is still developing and Frost has proven handy, but both got dismantled with ease the other day. While you can say our midfield got smashed a lot of one on ones weren't close.

    I've never posted inside info on here before, so thanks in advance for the abuse.

    I've heard from what I consider to be a very good source that North Melbourne are extremely confident that Kelly will play out 2019 at GWS then head to North on a longterm deal. North were heavily into him last year, but their list management team had the feeling all along that he'd re-sign with the Giants on a two-year deal before coming back to Victoria for 2020 onwards.

    you may be right and if so GWS will get minimal compo.

    This is why with a Hogan trade this year we "might" be able to put together a better deal for GWS

    It's a shame that North's salary cap will be busting at the seems after they pay massive overs for Gaff/Polac/Hall this season

    How was Gaff's (wry? Happy) smile at the Eagles/Dees game. Hard to know what is going on. Was he at their Brownlow do? Starting to think he'll stay

    One can only hope. If they add Gaff, Kelly and Polec, all of a sudden they're looking pretty good. That being said, if Kelly does come back to Victoria, I'd rather see him go to a club like North than to Essendon/Hawthorn/Richmond/Collingwood.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
