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...

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
