have been told trade for our second round pick is basically locked in. Will be done pretty quickly.

Thats fantastic if true.

We have cleaned up with those 2nd rounders around the pick 30 mark -    Hibbo, Melk,  Fritsch and now maybe KK.

    Seems alot to pay for a bloke with concussion issues that are now miraculously fixed but yet GC still dont seem to want to fight to keep him and has been inconsistent.

    My biggest concern however is how do l pronounce / yell his name on match day! Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue

    You could probably do something really creative and unique by dubbing him “Kolla” or just “Kade”.

    way overs if true. When was the last time a player at  a bottom club was told to look elsewhere and you traded a top 36 pick for him.

    Makes AVB definitely worth a second rounder

    O'Rourke was a pick 2 that was traded (with pick 43) after two years to Hawthorn for picks 19 and 40.

    KK was a pick 5 five years ago who achieved far more in his first year than O'Rourke did in his two years at GWS.

    Seems like a good, fair trade to me.

    KK also fits our list profile perfectly.

    ‘A top 36 pick’??

    Yeah, the best players are always there...

    Dees just do the deal that gets them the outcome they want.  If they pay slightly overs it’s not the end of the world. 

    The recent record shows they know exactly what they are doing.

    The recent record of delistings also shows me they haven't nailed enough late picks.

    King, Flipper, DJ, McKenna + Balic (both free to good home trades we took a punt on instead of a late pick), Hulett last year. I know the strike rate isn't great at these spots, but fighting for every little bit at the back end helps the recruiters. 

    We've certainly done well with recent trades, but there's no reason not to even better! KK isn't easy to get a value on, our 2nd round pick probably not a terrible deal but the Suns will probably have a lot of late picks they won't even use, I'd want to get some late picks or upgrades coming back. And of course the reality is any KK even done separately will be linked with a potential May deal so I'm not sure I particularly believe the optimism that it will be done quickly.

    You neglected to mention T Mac, O Mac, Hannan, ANB, Fritsch, Spargo, Hunt, Harmes and VandenBerg.

    I think our later selections have been above average.

    Yeah, the club really suffered by having picks so late that we had to settle for Fritsch and Spargo as our first couple of selections. Disasterous.

    T Mac was a football eternity ago. Oscar might not be any good, there's a big thread here about finding a replacement. Fritsch and Spargo were early/mid 2nd rounders. Hannan was our first pick in the draft that year, you'd hope someone you like gets through to pick 46. Certainly some good later picks in the Jason Taylor era - it's a big part of why we all rave about him -  but the better the pick the better the odds of finding more talent.

    I'm not suggesting we take the lead of some of the clubs who think trade week is a chance for club staff to make a name for themselves with empty tough talk, but we aren't the battlers any more desperate to do deals to get talent. Could be the year for us to dig our heels in over some deals.

    I understand what you are saying but Spargo was pick 29 and Fritsch 31. There were 47 picks after Fritsch (Jarrod Garlett - Carlton was pick 78) so neither were late picks

    According to Craig Cameron on Trade Radio, Gold Coast didn't speak to the Dees at all today.

    Probably little more to say at this stage, we both know where things sit and we need to work on other avenues before giving Gold Coast our attention.

    surely at Marvel stadium the means of communication would be suitably stellar

    Holographic at least

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

      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?
