Kelly was pushing for an exit and only signed a bumper deal instead of the proposed long term deal. He wants to come home to Melbourne, Scully on the other hand is more being pushed out so GWS can keep their other stars just like Shiel was.

Kelly is a better thought, than Gaff.

Kelly... or Whitfield, or Shiel ?  either, would help the cause.

    Big news. If Shiels stays Kelly or Scully needs to leave to fix cap issues. Kelly dream alive boys. 

    They'll push out Lobb and Finlayson. That's if they don't get what they want for Shiel.

    They'd be mad to trade Kelly a year early, he's vital for them to win the flag and won't lose value in a years time.

    He is out of contract at end of next season and he wanted to leave last time his contract was up. If he wants to stay now then so be it but if he still wants out we should be making moves.

    Stating the obvious, but will be Interesting to see who comes in as we already have Lost Vince and Balic?? With the likes of Bugg, Filipovic and Pedersen departing too? 

    Pruess appears ours potentially May, but I hope we land some speedy mids/forwards?

    Not sure how we could make it happen but in my opinion Lachie Whitfield is exactly what we need. His performance in their losing final was exceptional. Great spread, excellent user of the ball and a heap of courage. We are not that far a away but we need an elite runner to play wing

    Traceable. Tyson Kent jkh Bugg 

    Retired. Balic Vince -2

    likely delisting.  McKenna  Filopovic King Johnstone (re-rookie) -4 

    Other Delisting possibles (1 of) Bugg Pedersen jkh

    7 spots likely available 

    Preuss in 

    draft picks. 38, 50, 56, 74. (Bedford, Lockhart, Hore, Ayton-Delaney)

    rookie draft pick 14 (taller options)

    kielty upgrade rookie 

    johnstone - downgrade to rookie

    I reckon yesterday showed me lack a gorilla minder. Oscar just gets monstered too often and frost while he’s been good had a shocker. 

    I also think our wings tend to get exposed due to a lack of speed there.

    in saying that I think most coaches would take our list given the opportunity so it’s really an icing on the cake thing. 

    i personally think Jesse hogan being tried as a key back isn’t the worst idea.

    I'm hoping the Bombers spend all of their chips on Shiel.  Sounds like Hawks have shifted focus to Wingard.

    AFL must be embarrassed.

    Garlett can go.

    Yes, hope we keep Dean Kent. Valuable, tough, fast, accurate.

    A Wingard, in decline, would be a perfect accompaniment to the greed of Whoreform.

    Whitfield will be a great replacement off half back

    A good acquisition, if possible.

    I feel for the guy too. Had to put his body on the line a few times this year and it resulted in an injury. Pretty sure both times he'd just come back in and looked sharp. Our forward line looks super dangerous with him playing IMO.

    Would personally have a serious look at jack Martin. If he wants to come back to vic I think his class and speed would be very handy for us up forward.

    I have stuff all understanding of the trade system and have a couple of questions...

    We have 2018 picks 32/43/50/86 currently (tbc once FA compensation and priority picks awarded). I assume 2019 picks are still intact but at present you'd have to expect we're going to have late round picks (and will eventually have to retain future first rounders under the rules).

    We don't have a heap of currency in our fringe players who'd be after better opportunities elsewhere, and there seems little enthusiam for trading a top player.

    This being the case, how do we realistically get a Lachie Whitfield or another contracted player? Are we simply going to be limited to bring in Free Agents?

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    Spot on post, my understanding is we have to use our first round pick in the 2019 draft.  So really we don't have a lot to play around with.  North will want our second round pick which will be about 37 after priority and free agent compensation picks hopefully we can get it done with our early third round pick and change.

    I can't really see us improving our list through this years Draft and Trade period

    Like most of us I feel pretty miserable today.  We all know what happened in Perth and the 2's couldn't get it done in the GF.  I've looked at several phantom drafts, which have reminded me that we don't have a first round pick, because we on traded it last year.

    So the question, which sits in my current state of emptiness.  Do we have any currency, which we can use at the trade table, to at least marginally improve this current list.  I certainly hope the match committee have got something up their collective sleeves.

    Martin's a WA kid, so not a go home case, possibly wants to get away from a dysfunctional environment. Would speak volumes about the mess at GC.

    Then there's Adelaide:

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
