KK has the potential to be an elite player, reads the play well, can intercept and run the lines, Much prefer KK off halfback to Lewis  or on the wing instead of Jones or Tyson.

Concussion history a worry and should reduce Suns asking price. Reports are Docs identified his concussion susceptibilty as being neck related and that neck issue has been corrected . Still a risk for mine but high reward if he becomes a regular.

    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

    Watt?

    2nd in a club b&f shows he can consistently perform at a high level.

    Other failed players being mentioned on this thread were never able to do that.

    B and F finishes in a low performing club need to be taken into account

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

    Battled multiple concussion issues which are now over.

    Very good disposal and as much as I hate comparing players was similar to Grant Burchall.

    Very good pick up

    Speculation for players that have unrealised potential: Frost, Balic, McKenna, Kennedy, KK

    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...

    I wouldn't put KK in either of these categories.

    He's a much better player than all listed.

    He has played quality footy but injury has been an issue, in the first list none of those had proven form apart from the odd game for a couple of them.

    He's certainly nothing like Watts and that acquisition. Jack got nowhere near top 2 in our b&f good or bad years.

    The bet with KK is nothing to do with form and more to do with getting him injury free and confident in his body.

    Yep, I think we're on the same track. I just wouldn't put him with the others on the list.

    I think he has some good exposed form, the others really didn't. They were more spec picks...

    The spec here is whether he can get over the previous injuries.

    I'm excited about him as a prospect, I was trying to think who we could bring in without going down the big fish path.

    There had to be someone out there that would be a perfect fit for us and I think the FD uncovered him.

    Sounds like GC will delist him if they can't get a deal done, so I imagine it'll be for a 3rd rounder at most, maybe a future 3rd/4th if he's not an add on to the May deal. I'm hoping he's done separately, right at the start of the week, as the Hogan/Freo/May circus could drag on a bit.

    Sounds odd that you’d delist such a skilful and talented player. Especially when that’s exactly what your club is lacking in.

    I look at Kade and immediately think of Gus...Theyre different...but similar  ;)

    Very highly rated junior

    5th in the rising star in year 1

    2nd bnf in year 2. 

    Certainly better than his bro. He would excel in a good team imo

    Underwhelmed by this guy given his track record.

    Unrealized potential is an unconvincing reason to buy him. 

    I think he has the upside of someone like Yeo...

    A pretty convincing reason to buy.

    Hope your right rjay so I will bow to your greater knowledge.

    Apropos of another post of mine, I should heed my own words and have confidence in our selection and selectors.

    It's amusing.  Most posters familiar with Kolodjashnij rate him and those who have to ask others or look up stats don't.

    If you have no clue about a player why proffer an opinion ?

    I don't know why it is amusing, unless you think your cleverer than the next person. 

    Like looking at someone's CV, you can form an impression or an opinion based on a person's track record. 

    In the KK case, his injury history, lack of games, and GC's willingness to trade provides an uninspiring track record.

    The other reasoning relates to his untapped potential, which is always debatable.

    In the past, we have had a litany of names with potential on our list. And we all have opinions on those names.

    GCS departures:

    Lynch, Hall, Kolodjashnij, Barlow, *May, Rischitelli (ret),  etc..

    Who in their right mind would want to go to play for this club? Their supporters must be so disillusioned - although, I can empathise.

    Off your high horse Pro, if his coaches want to trade him for a third round pick then they don’t rate him, despite your superior wisdom. 

    If we pick him up our coaches are backing themselves to get value where Dees crew have failed or given up.

    Dewy will probably go for the Roosy-Swans type players, contested contested contested. types.  Hard workers under heavy attention.

    I don't know much about sPecial-K,  other than he was as a junior, Highly touted as a skilled ball user.

     

    But I have no perception of his contact play?

    I’ve got no idea about him but given you think he would be “one of the most talented on our list” and could be a “revelation” what do you think would be a fair pick for him?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
