Then either your assessment of football talent is always poor, often poor, or it's poor in this isolated moment. 

I doubt it's the latter.

Hahahaaa owe come on ProDee don't be like that ;)

On a serious note, what would you be willing to pay?

    I couldn't be more serious.  Kolodjashnij has always been a sublime talent, so I have to question someone who doesn't rate his ability.  It really doesn't make sense. 

    As for what he's worth ?  I don't know nor do I care.  That's minutia for me.  Some fans worry about that sort of stuff, but I tend not to.  

    Post the trade period I'll look at net gains and net losses and have an opinion as to the success of our trade period.

    As above, I don't mind targetting him, as long as it doesn't consume significant amounts of our time or draft currency during trade week.

    Now let's put it into perspective because far too many times I've seen the hype consume posters at this time of year (it's like listening to bitcoin talk in a cafe' at the end of 2017).

    Now don't give me that PR garbage about "I'll look at net gains and net losses" at the end of trade week. The players are scrutinised for every decision and execution during a match, so should the recruiting staff.

    Firstly, do you consider Kolodjashnij in the same league as T.Mitchell, O'Meara, Treloar, Adams (all a few years ago), and Shiel (who is potentially available and should be at the top of our list)?

    Secondly, if you're hyping up Kolodjashnij state what you think he's worth or at least in relation to those above. I've said a third-round pick, but in fairness, I could accept a late-second. That's where I rate, it's not that hard to do, what about you?

    I genuinely don't care much about isolated costs in relation to players.  We've previously seen Mahoney and crew look like they're overpaying only to have something else up their sleeve. 

    That said, right now I suspect Kolodjashnij is worth in the 40-50 range.  Concussions and lack of recent progress determine this. 

    But the upside is significant.  Salem and Fritsch have genuine football talent.  Kolodjashnij has no less and I suspect a higher ceiling than those two boys.

    Hahahaha so we are actually in agreeance. Thank you.

    Also yes, I couldn't agree with you more. There is significant upside and potential with regards to his age, talent, and relation price.

    I don't know whether we're in "agreement" or not.  

    You don't think much of him as a player and I reckon he has rare talent.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if May and KK are packaged up for a top 10 pick assuming the Hogan trade goes ahead.  May alone is not worth a top 10.

    That's more running bounces than our whole team currently averages per game! ?

    This is one of those trades where I have confidence our FD will make the right call. If they want him, I will certainly support it.

    You mean that they are dizygotic in that each of them developed from a separate egg rather than monozygotic. 

    Yes, I think that's the case.

    Who cares about eggs?

    It's the sperm that counts.

    That's nice Moonie...the lads of the FD will sleep soundly now ;)

    I just like the idea of having a player just about all struggle to pronounce !!! ???

    ( That, and he CAN play )

    You should see the guns shots I took of him and his family. He told me he's keen on joining Melbourne, but wanted a pre-emptive restraining order against me first. Salem agreed, pending the EPL results. All good fun!

    I think he's the type of player we need if he can get back to the consistent form he had back in 2015 where he was third runner up in GC best and fairest (not a huge feat at GC but he was only a 20).

    You only need to look at his stats that shows how much he marks the ball demonstrating how well he spreads to find space. He's not lightning quick but has solid speed and athleticism. Really builds up speed well. I like the idea of him on a wing or half back with his ability to really spread. Uses the ball well too.

    On paper we need some outside run and apparently he can provide this.

    However, if GC are happy for him to explore his options, how good is he really?

  • Quote

    Highly skilled... perhaps gold coast havent got the best out of him because they are a rabble. Could prove valuable as an outside runner

    Way more excited about us getting KK than May.

    I can actually see KK fitting into our side without impacting on key players and he provides pace that we need.

    May is also quick for a big bloke, but I don't quite get why we need him - we have Frost, O.Mac, Lever when he returns and Joel Smith and we also have two VFL standard back-ups already - Petty and Kielty.

    Is May going to play CHF and be part of the T-Mac, Weid mix? Is O-Mac going to finally to be tried in that role.

    Either way I don't get why you'd give a up a first rounder and $800K for May when we are already over-catered for in that area.

    But I do get why we would give KK another chance at reigniting a career for $300K and a second or third round pick.

    Was runner-up in the B&F in his second year at GC. The tape of his highlights is worth watching...

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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.

    • 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?
