Carlton/GCS must pick 'mature age' players (no picks involved).  The player is then tradeable for a pick.

What a weird set up that is

It works the same way as the 17 yo pre-list GWS had.  It is how we got Hogan.

Just a shame we weren't handed bonus picks to trade at the time so we could land him for free.

I keep hearing those 2 pre draft state league pick aren't tradeable? Wasn't Grigg on the Crows list previously?

They are tradeable and certainly by picking players and then trading them. Yes Grigg was on Crows list.

it is absurd that they are 'tradeable'

That was the back door way to avoid PP's, which are probably now dead in the water.

I think the AFL is concerned that PP's affect all the other clubs and especially some that can't afford to be disadvantaged by having their picks become less valuable.

If he goes anywhere it will be to north so what the hell is anyone here is talking about him anyway. Hope he stays will be a huge dagger in the north's heart.


I hear he said NO....that's pretty quick. He wants to come to a secular set up..... 

Josh Kelly will only consider signing a long term deal at one of three Clubs.  His management has been told to only engage with GWS, Kangaroos & Carlton.

Whilst my info was pre Christmas, it came from another player looked after by his management team and I believe it’s on the money.

That is interesting.   Is he holding off,   just in-case the Giants don't look like being premiers,  anytime soon.?

... or the opposite ?   So he could return after... for his superannuation funds ?

 

Feb'  2022...   he will have Just  turned,  27Yrs old.

Had our chance to date the prom queen but fluffed our pick up line. Not Roosy's finest moment however Salem is a consolation. Will be a good 200-game player for us. Move on.

Judging by what we have done with our super-draft pick, I am sure we would have found a way to waste them on nth-order things like 'leadership'.

10 years is a Buddy long time, if you get my drift.

Meh... was never going to come here so not at all concerned that he’s signed on.  

If anything, it’s good news as it makes it harder for them to hang onto their two other good free agents Coniglio and Tomlinson.

  • 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.
