Could Hunt come into play here?

We can't get rid of everyone and I hope Hunt stays.

    Just measure that against some of the names I've mentioned. Not many have rose and shined, as they say.

    There have been some success stories as well, dieter.  I see your point, but we have a few of the success stories in our side right now, not to mention others over the years (Jeff White is one that instantly comes to mind to go with some others you mentioned).

    But, I see your point, and most of our sides since the late 80s have become moderately successful off the back of shrewd recruiting and development.

    What sets Kolo apart from those your mentioned in the first sentence is that he was a much higher draft pick who has shown he can play at AFL level.  Michie, Sellar, Rodan (at the tail end of his career) were not those types.

    If the price is right then someone like Kolo, who can play half back, has good skills and pace and has lots of footy left in front of him, is worth the gamble.

    Yes, forgot about the mighty Jeff.

    Melksham, Pederson, Hibberd and even Frost have worked out pretty well?

    I understand your point but perhaps look at each individual in isolation and not the collective. 

     

    Agree, forgot to mention those true and mighty Demons...

    worth about a second round...in points

    if we're flagging this far out that we're keen we'll get it done, and gc17 will bank the points / use whatever we trade them for spare change

    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.

    Can't we do both? ?

    I wonder if KK could be part of a May deal.

     

    I’d assume it’s the only way he comes. Long been a fan, although I’d question his hardness.

    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? 

    Not so sure. Been told by Gold Coast to explore his options.

    Raking left foot kicks are always welcome! Maybe part of the answer to our outside woes.

    They always pronounced Illja Grgic “Griggitch” but Brent “Gergitch” - I could never work out if they were actually meant to be pronounced differently or if dumb commentators were dumb.

    The commentators are generally dumb, thats a given, but the players may have simply had different interpretations of the pronunciation.

    I've seen some beauties over the years.

    A 3rd will probably do it.

    There's the trap of many always referencing that draft # . Means nothing after they're on a list. 

    Only as good as last season/ last game etc.

    He must be seen as a bit of a punt/project. If he comes good and improves and garners consistency. Bargain.

    If not...no biggee . I thought at the time ( years back ) he had a bit of verve. Maybe club wants to tap into that.

    A roll of the dice.

    Yes yes yes to KK. (KK easier than Kolidhjjhfhdashji)

    he is skilled with excellent left foot delivery plus length 

    physically ready to go 

    the concussion issues are the point to discuss but I am confident MFC can help this be put behind him

    a risk but is exactly the player we need

    should be a pick 30-50 draft pick exchange.

    Kent’s Stkilda trade pick probably gets it done

    If he comes to Melbourne let's hope he's not just another high draft pick that doesn't quite make it despite changing clubs. Jono O'Rourke, Gysberts, Toumpas, etc

    Good point

    His numbers are similar to Morton

    Two fat ladies - pick 88 - should get it done?

    Do yourselves a favour. Have a look on YouTube at his work this year. 

    Then look at Footywire and compare to Salem. 

    The boy has serious talent which has been shadowed because of the concussion injuries. Us of all supporters should know what happens to quality players when this happens. Exactly what has happened to Kade. It might cost us a second rounder, but it is a great way to spend a second rounder. Allows us to move Salem further up the ground and use Kade's kicking skills in the back half. 

    2 x 22 under 22 team of the year
    5th in his NAB rising star (behind Taylor and the Bont) 
    2015 he was the runner up in the GC Best and Fairest 

    We are not talking about a player who has no runs on the board. This is a player who hasn't wanted to be at the GC this year, who is dealing with concussion issues, and just wants to get back to playing his best football. An absolute no brainer to me.

    KK has amazing talent. Is a great kick and actually has speed and reads the play well.

    He is an outside mid played in the wrong position at half back. Similar to Melksham at Essendon. Do rate.

    All that is true why are GCS happy to let him go? 

    They need as much experience/talent as they can get.  If they aren't offering him a contract he will be delisted and he can anywhere he likes with no pick back of any sort. 

    It doesn't compute...

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
