Could Hunt come into play here?

We can't get rid of everyone and I hope Hunt stays.

    Just measure that against some of the names I've mentioned. Not many have rose and shined, as they say.

    There have been some success stories as well, dieter.  I see your point, but we have a few of the success stories in our side right now, not to mention others over the years (Jeff White is one that instantly comes to mind to go with some others you mentioned).

    But, I see your point, and most of our sides since the late 80s have become moderately successful off the back of shrewd recruiting and development.

    What sets Kolo apart from those your mentioned in the first sentence is that he was a much higher draft pick who has shown he can play at AFL level.  Michie, Sellar, Rodan (at the tail end of his career) were not those types.

    If the price is right then someone like Kolo, who can play half back, has good skills and pace and has lots of footy left in front of him, is worth the gamble.

    Yes, forgot about the mighty Jeff.

    Melksham, Pederson, Hibberd and even Frost have worked out pretty well?

    I understand your point but perhaps look at each individual in isolation and not the collective. 

     

    Agree, forgot to mention those true and mighty Demons...

    worth about a second round...in points

    if we're flagging this far out that we're keen we'll get it done, and gc17 will bank the points / use whatever we trade them for spare change

    Can play...he was really good early in his career.

    Half back or wing with a bit of class.

    Forget about the Kelly's of this world, this is exactly the type of trading we need to do.

    Can't we do both? ?

    I wonder if KK could be part of a May deal.

     

    I’d assume it’s the only way he comes. Long been a fan, although I’d question his hardness.

    He will cost more than a 3rd I suggest. Former 5 pick with 78 games to his name and slowed by injury. I wonder if Tyson could work? 

    Not so sure. Been told by Gold Coast to explore his options.

    Raking left foot kicks are always welcome! Maybe part of the answer to our outside woes.

    They always pronounced Illja Grgic “Griggitch” but Brent “Gergitch” - I could never work out if they were actually meant to be pronounced differently or if dumb commentators were dumb.

    The commentators are generally dumb, thats a given, but the players may have simply had different interpretations of the pronunciation.

    I've seen some beauties over the years.

    A 3rd will probably do it.

    There's the trap of many always referencing that draft # . Means nothing after they're on a list. 

    Only as good as last season/ last game etc.

    He must be seen as a bit of a punt/project. If he comes good and improves and garners consistency. Bargain.

    If not...no biggee . I thought at the time ( years back ) he had a bit of verve. Maybe club wants to tap into that.

    A roll of the dice.

    Yes yes yes to KK. (KK easier than Kolidhjjhfhdashji)

    he is skilled with excellent left foot delivery plus length 

    physically ready to go 

    the concussion issues are the point to discuss but I am confident MFC can help this be put behind him

    a risk but is exactly the player we need

    should be a pick 30-50 draft pick exchange.

    Kent’s Stkilda trade pick probably gets it done

    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

    Good point

    His numbers are similar to Morton

    Two fat ladies - pick 88 - should get it done?

    Do yourselves a favour. Have a look on YouTube at his work this year. 

    Then look at Footywire and compare to Salem. 

    The boy has serious talent which has been shadowed because of the concussion injuries. Us of all supporters should know what happens to quality players when this happens. Exactly what has happened to Kade. It might cost us a second rounder, but it is a great way to spend a second rounder. Allows us to move Salem further up the ground and use Kade's kicking skills in the back half. 

    2 x 22 under 22 team of the year
    5th in his NAB rising star (behind Taylor and the Bont) 
    2015 he was the runner up in the GC Best and Fairest 

    We are not talking about a player who has no runs on the board. This is a player who hasn't wanted to be at the GC this year, who is dealing with concussion issues, and just wants to get back to playing his best football. An absolute no brainer to me.

    KK has amazing talent. Is a great kick and actually has speed and reads the play well.

    He is an outside mid played in the wrong position at half back. Similar to Melksham at Essendon. Do rate.

    All that is true why are GCS happy to let him go? 

    They need as much experience/talent as they can get.  If they aren't offering him a contract he will be delisted and he can anywhere he likes with no pick back of any sort. 

    It doesn't compute...

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
