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.

We will need the money he would cost to keep and develop our own.

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.

  • 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.
