yet, we have been poor with recycler players or pro scouting i.e. balic, mckenna, bugg, ben kennedy, aiden riley, and many more from the neeld era which l won't go into

No. All of those players were flawed and our list was in a very different position. We are a destination club now and decent players see what we're cooking and want in.

    kade is clearly flawed if he can't get a game at gc and they want to move him on

    A lot of those were cheap pick ups and more for depth purposes.

    agree but 1 or 2 should have showed something if we were getting it right. we aren't and in the circumstance we should just go to the draft going forward

    Let the resident dopes on here think Kolodjashnij is just another average prospect.

    The bloke will be one of the most talented on our list and if he's over his concussions will be a revelation.  .

    He can play but he has been concussed a lot. He is probably a knock or two from giving it up. We aren't talking about a kid with the mindset of Angus Brayshaw, who wouldn't give it up even if he copped more knocks. Brayshaw is stubborn. Kolodjashnij is cut from a different cloth altogether. He is hesitant. I watch him. I watched him as a junior. He has great skills and elite movement, he is a very graceful mover. But, he is just a knock away from giving it up IMO. I'd be prepared to give up a 3rd round pick but nothing more.

    He's worth 34, not including double/triple letter values, and the bonus for all the tiles. I really think anyone we recruit I can trust the FD to make sure the 'not soft' function is installed. Certainly of the Suns that have left they all seem to go ok. K.hunt, what a bone-headed move that was, 3 million for a party drug culture. Funnily enough I'm more worried about May working out than KK if we got both.

    Who are the resident dopes?

    Worry about he concussions but the upside is huge. Would be happy to part with a 3rd rounder.

    This kid is a potential A grader. I think a lot of posters are going to be eating humble pie when they realise just how good this kid is. He has as much talent as any of our young mids.

    Kade is a beauty. The concussion issues were neck related and have been resolved. Not sure what Dew etc have against him.

    Probably too skinny for Dews liking!

    KK is definitely an elite talent, I'm unsure why the Suns would give him up for nothing when they are clearly a basketcase. With Lewis near done, this guy will slot in nicely.

  • Quote

    I think there are 3 kinds of trades for players:

    1. Blockbusters with early picks and big salary involved: e.g. Lever, May
    2. Role players for known quantities: e.g. Vince, Lewis, Hibberd, Melksham, Garlett, Tyson, Bugg, Preuss
    3. Speculation for players that have unrealised potential: Frost, Balic, McKenna, Kennedy, KK 

    In some ways #3 are most interesting

    I put KK in same category as Ports acquisition of Mr Watts last year... a bet against exposed form based on pedigree (draft pick, “talent”, etc)... and Jack was getting games in a middle of the road team, whereas Kk struggling in a cellar dweller...

    If he can bring us the lucky 13th flag; i'm all for him putting the great red and blue jumper,?

    KK will flourish in a professional football program with leaders to guide him. Perfect Lewis successor

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
