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...

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
