Josh Kelly

All i can say is "ye of little faith"

On Trac, he will gradually have that inevitable body change from Jarman (similar ability)  to Flower/Schwartz (pure poise and power)

Imagine that...

We gave up our pick 2 to GWS in 2013 who picked Josh Kelly & we will need to pay overs to get him now...

Considering we're a finals bound team with many valued players tradewise even without his addition, shows we've still done well out of that trade. To have a player become a superstar like him and come to us, means we'd be paying unders to get him ie we have enough depth if we trade a good player and our first round picks are not high ones. 2x Pick 12-18

Just funny how things could work out...We got Tyson, Salem & Hunt from this deal so was a win on both teams

The Draft and Trading board is going to be great this year.    Great players possibly on the move (Lever, Kelly), we are a destination club finally and we own our 1st rounder unlike last season. 

But whats even greater is that it isnt open yet! And hopefully isnt until our last game is finished (ie. the Grand Final)

I'd be a bit annoyed. I mean we have Salem and Tyson. But the fact we could have had him for just one first rounder, and will have to give up way more to get him now is a bit embarrassing.

Check the date on that paper. It might be referring to James Kelly going to Essendon as a top-up player.

I heard the same thing as well. Guess with Watson leaving and having few star players gives the filth some $$$ to throw at him.

Heard a strong rumour that Kelly is deal done to Dons.

For what that's worth. ;)

I've heard Richmond have an offer for him that's as good as any if dusty does go.

St Kilda will have a bookies bag to throw around with Riewoldt and Montagna retiring . SO do not count therm out. Maybe we could get Seb Ross as an outside Mid.

Good player but from what I am hearing the peptiders are in poll position on this one. With Jobe, Stanton and a few others finishing up they have a lot to play with.

Source? Sauce? What sort of sauce? 

And I guess Gillon would be fully on board (and maybe offering some gentle persuasion) as the poor Druggies were so hardly done by.

Were R and M veterans, and if so would their departure free up quite so much?

Just to be sure you are not taking the pizz....

Don't be revisionist. When we did that deal we were desperate to inject some talent into the side immediately. We won 2 games for the year and had Terlich and Matt Jones finish 3rd and 4th in our B&F. It was a dire situation. 

We did the pick 2 deal and got Tyson and Salem. Tyson's first year was a stand out. Had we taken Kelly and had to wait 4 years for him to blossom who knows where we would be.

My brother (who's a Dons tragic) plays footy with a Don's bigwig, reckons it's been a lock for months...

Yeah people say that. I don't buy it. I reckon had we waited for another round, or waited for rookies he'd still be ours. He was completely out of nowhere. Noone saw him coming. Incidental where the pick was.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
