I get all that. But success will not be at St. Kilda for a fair while yet

His call, i wouldn’t touch them

If it's true Preuss wants to come to Melbourne, he's taking the alternative option to Kent...come to a successful club but possibly not play too many games in the seniors. I'm not sure that's a wise plan for him (but good for us).

    Kent has had his opportunities and seems prone to injury. 

    He clearly wants out, so let him go. 

    After 5 years, time is up.

    I think it will be a 4th. Players like Kent aren't worth much in a trade.

    Can he be traded if he is out of contract?

    I suspect if  a trade is required it is a nominal trade in that Saints will offer us a pick that we will not use.

    Was he really getting opportunities here? After his hamstring in Rd 5 he was barely in contention until the WC game. I know it was a tough side to break into but that's likely exactly why he's going.

    It has to be a trade or he is de-listed.

    I'd say it will be a 4th rounder, but who really knows.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Saints don't currently have a second OR third round pick, as both have been traded.

    Their current highest pick after the first round is 4th round, pick 57.

    Yep on reflection I'm dreaming. Saints pick 57 will probably get it done and move on.

    Yep. In addition, with the prospect of being involved in complex trades such as a Hogan one, Mahoney and Viney will want to spend precisely zero minutes on guff trades. They’ll turn up to the trade table with St Kilda with a pen ready to sign whatever is put in front of them, say “hey look everyone, we look after our players, even when they’re fringe players wanting to leave”, and get on with actual business.

    Ugh. Saints 3rd probably is a bit rich... I'm thinking Kent and swap their second for our second or something like that.

    Strangely I can see him in a St.Kilda jumper too.

    Geez if Kent and hogan are going that's pretty much a quarter of the list gone. Don't know what to make of it tbh?

    And three quarters of the injuries

    Think we should at least inquire about a pair of Jacks.

    Lonie - a far from perfect footballer but would be an option in the crumbing small forward role. Small, not blistering pace and a little soft but he has smarts. Would be about a straight swap for Kent

    Newnes - long kicking wingman who Saints fans really dislike after this year. Would probably need a pick thrown in with Kent

    Just had a baby. Probably wants a longer term contract than we are willing to offer. More likely to get to the midfield with the Saints, which apparently is something he wants. Good luck to him. I think he can be a handy player for them and I hope his body holds up.

    Be surprised if we don't get offered, and accept, a 3rd rounder for him.

    I hope the club aren't to generous and don't take anything higher than a low 3rd rounder.

    Kent isn't worth more than their pick 57.

    Are you being fair dinkum? We'll go out of business with thinking like this.

    Melbourne: Kent to Saints & Pick 48 to North

    St Kilda: Lonie to North & Pick 57 to Melbourne 

    North Melbourne: Preuss to Melbourne & Pick 64 to St Kilda

     

    Melbourne gain Preuss & 57 for Kent & 48

    St Kilda gain Kent & 64 for Lonie & 57

    North Melbourne gain Lonie & 48 for Preuss & 64

    You started it.

    Severely overrating Kent.  He's just not that good.

    I can understand the sentiment but you need to consider what we offer vs the Saints.

    He can refuse a one year or a one plus one deal from us (would you offer more) and stand out thus allowing himself to be picked up by the Saints in the second draft (whatever it's called these days). No one is likely to poach him.

    This is one where we can and need to be generous just like Freo were with us and Balic last year.

    Really? I didnt get to watch as many neutral games as I normally do this year. Why have the fans turned on him?

    Bye, and thanks for the goal against West Coast Kenty.

    If St Kilda have a lower fourth rounder than ours I’d suggest just a swap of fourth round picks. 

    can we swap fifth and sixth rounders...

    my simplistic understanding is that the draft continued ad infinitum until all clubs had passed

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
