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?

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.

So, another Clarry or Angus to add to our list! Wow, bring it on!

Get the saints to talk with the suns to make sure they are happy with the saints pick for Kent because thats what they should be getting for KK . 

Otherwise no deal saints

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.

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...

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

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
