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?

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
