Demons eye off the Suns' Kade Kolodjashnij

Apparently we are targeting him. #5 pick from 2013 or 2014 I think? Silky outside mid who hasn’t quite got it together yet and could use a fresh start

Probably wouldn’t cost us a lot.

Definitely yes from me.

    Doesn’t sound like there’s much opposition from the suns end, his lack of matches mean his value is pretty low, looks like a good opportunity to me. Given our experience with concussion riddled players in recent years that might also help manage him (although it sounds like he’s past the worst of it). 

    Early 3rd rounder? Or perhaps a direct swap for a current fringe player?

    Can play...he was really good early in his career.

    Half back or wing with a bit of class.

    Forget about the Kelly's of this world, this is exactly the type of trading we need to do.

    He will cost more than a 3rd I suggest. Former 5 pick with 78 games to his name and slowed by injury. I wonder if Tyson could work? 

    Former 5 pick.....That Gold Coast don’t even want

    Would you have accepted a 3rd round pick for brayshaw at the end of last year? 

    Because that's effectively what you are suggesting... top 5 pick over 70 games experience with concussion issues

    Yes! Worth a second round pick (20 - 30) Was pick 5 and showed great early promise. 

    We have to plan for life after Nev and Hibbo. Both 29yo going into next season.

    Do you enjoy following me around GCD? And I’m not even going to get into comparing KK to AB. And I’m not suggesting anything you’ve alluded to.

    He is a genuine talent when up and running. Jason Taylor was a huge wrap for him in his junior days and wanted him at pick 9. But you knew straight away that he was set on getting picked up early.

    I like this interest from the club.

    I'd be happy with this. With Lewis in the twilight of his career he could slot in across half back perfectly for us. 

    If the Suns are happy for him to move on then I doubt they would want much. A three way deal with the Saints perhaps? 

    Saints get: Kent

    Dees get: Kolodjashnij

    Suns get: Third round pick. 

    I know the Saints don't have one of those picks at the moment but I'm sure they can get one.

    Our highest pick is 32, but with 8 or so players to replace would be surprised to see us use that on a trade, would take us out of the first two rounds of the draft altogether.

    Hopefully one of our 3rd round picks will get it done, they don't want to hang on to him regardless of where he was initially drafted.

    Dont mean to be following you around. It just seems to be you're name popping up with the outrageous trade suggestions haha

     Concerned about his concussion issues, but can play. Would be similar value to Kent I would have thought?

    Which suggestions are those? 

    KK who is out of contract and GC telling him to look elsewhere? 3rd round based on those facts is hardly outrageous at all.

    Yes, a few clubs have big holes in their draft options (e.g., Freo with 5 ... and then 77, Saints with 5 and then 57). Trading away your future draft picks is all well and good, but then you end up with no draft picks. Could be some horse-trading for picks.

     A gun in the making, his progress derailed by some concussions and the fact he plays for a horrible club.

    Once Brendan McCartney gets hold of him everyone will see why he was a pick 5.

    Love it, love it. 

    Bit of money ball about it and once again a strategic/targeted list maneuvour . 

    Ive been thinking that the likes of Shiel and Kelly are just too costly, in trade and it $. Pay too much for one player and it gets the rest of the players asking for more too.

    Haven't seen too much of Kade - but he's got toe.

    His brother Jake is a very good player.

    Much better player than Kent but will be interesting to see how he is valued.

    but with GC happy to let him go...who knows where the cards will fall.

    32 might just do it. Or straight swap for Tyson.

    I doubt they would accept a third rounder for him. That’s a pick in the 45-55 range. Can’t see that happening.

    I actually don't mind Koladjaksfndhdhdbsnij as a player. He looked good early on, bit has really disappeared with concussion issues.

    I'd be keen to give him a go. Would be happy with a 3rd round, but would give a second rounder for him if he changed his surname to Smith (just so we didn't have to spell his name on the forum)

    Like gus very talented but had a string of concussions. Huge potential value if we can get him right

    Think we are going to try and turn next years 1st round pick into a handful of later picks this draft.

    Bit hard to explain how we will fill all the vacancies otherwise.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
