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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
