Everyone keeps saying "don't trade player X because a new coach might get the best out of him".

The new coach is trading them because he feels that there is more to his trading than keeping him.

Bailey wants to start with a list that has the attributes that he wants, and he'll go to the draft to get that if he has to.

    I am further amazed that so many posters back a Coach to get the best of a player when the player does not show any of the basic attributes himself to do so.

    People here keep talking of CJ's potential. When has he ever demonstrated any? I have never seen anything in his game to suggest he will make it as a good player, let alone one to cement himself in our starting 22. To the CJ fans out there: When we win the flag in 2010, what position would he play?

    If we were offered a 3rd round pick or a promising young player (like Dyson as mooted elsewhere) we'd be mad to not accept it.

    Dyson for Chris Johnson would be a step down.

    Why are we arguing over periphery players, it is utterly pointless.

    Surely Stkilda won't trade for a 5th player now. Schneider, Dempster, King and Gardiner already traded for

    CJ may be safe

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      This season cannot end soon enough. Disgraceful.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
