2020 Player Reviews: #16 Kade Kolodjashnij

Continuing concussion issues ruled out any play for the unlucky Kolodjashnij and it’s likely that his career is over as a result.

    Any news on the concussion front? Is he any chance to play next year?

    Kade 'steak knives' Kolodjashnij.

    In all seriousness, does anyone have any idea on how he's tracking? He's had an awful run over the last few years. I can recall Jordan Lewis saying in the media earlier this year that Kade's concussion issues were so concerning that even brief flashes of sunlight weren't ideal. 

    Its unlikely, but I hope he's able to fight his way back. He could slot in nicely on the other wing, or could potentially move to half back to allow a Salem/Rivers type to run in the midfield.

    Given the risk of permanent brain damage, I very much doubt that Kade will play again. In the context of what appear to be ongoing health problems, and reduced list sizes in 2021, I hope that he will step away from the game, with an amicable settlement between his management and the MFC, in relation to the final year of his contract. 

    A sad end to a promising career, but I trust and expect that the MFC, GCS and the AFLPA will look after his future welfare.

    ps.  probably just me being over-sensitive, but I detest the belittling term 'steak knives' in relation to our players, especially in these circumstances.

    Honestly, I find it strange that he's still on the list at this point.  Surely this was the time to move him on if the club considers him to be a lost cause?

    I'm all for him getting paid his entitlements and getting the support he needs from the club, but it is an absolute disgrace that he is still on the list.

    St Kilda came to an arrangement with McCartin, surely we can do the same with Kolodjashnij.

    With list sizes shrinking, we can't afford to be carrying players like he and Nietschke who can't contribute.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
