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.

We need s trade rumours thread again. 

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.

Kelly is a gun.

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.

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?

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    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.

    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.
