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

Edited by Bring Back Barassi

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
