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.

All over look elsewhere.

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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
