Don’t shoot the messenger, but rumour I heard was Hogan to Freo for pick 6, pick 6 to GC for May.

    Haha. What a joke that is. Lever cost us 2 first rounders. Hogan would be worth more than that.

    Slap yourself for even passing that on. Disgusting.

    With a backline succeeding in finals, Lever to return and Petty developing nicely, I also don't see where he fits.  But it seems the club does.

    GCS is looking for a high draft pick as next year they will get pick 2-5 when he leaves as a Free Agent.  It will require our 2019 1st pick plus player/pick. 

    We are a latecomer to the party as he seemed headed to Collingwood.

    We have to also remember that Joel Smith will have another season behind him and he has gained considerably from somewhat limited experience. At his current age, he is expected to only get better and better, and plays backline well as a rather mobile tall with marking skills. Pump some iron, Joel; get your fitness levels up and over the top; train harder than ever; do the ball and team skills routines until these are automated both in the head and in play. Next year may well be yours...

    Is May even a good player anymore? He looks slow, fat and not interested. 

    He will flourish once he gets out of that disaster of a club.

    We've apparently made salary cap space for a potential big pick up (possibly May),

    But do we keep our cash and go for Josh Kelly next year?

    It sounds like May might have approached us: 

    "Tom Morris said May was clearly canvassing all his options...to do your due diligence, you’ve got to meet with as many clubs as you can and clearly Melbourne is a successful club...but clearly Melbourne don‘t need him either..." https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/live-afl-trade-video-chat-with-tom-morris-steven-may-reportedly-meets-melbourne/news-story/d700a266e6022e2be5f668ccd7b72fe0

    If May's manager came knocking on our door, my question, is when?  If after we made/succeeded in finals, its a bit too opportunistic for me.   Someone looking for easy street, perhaps?

    It seems to me we plan our deals a long way ahead, rather than join in a trade bidding war.  Yes, we can be as opportunistic as the next but that hasn't been our style of late.  So it seems more plausible the approach came from May.  Imv, he doesn't give us much more than we have so I say 'thanks but no thanks, Steven.

    Can’t see how he fits into our plans...

    KPD depth = OMac, Frost, Lever, Petty, Keilty. 

    Trust in what the footy department does though. 

    Exactly my thinking. Surely with Lever back there isnt a need for a another tall? Combined with the problem we may have at the other end next year with Weid, Tmac and Hogan , talls really seem like the least of our problems. Or only a problem because we have too many! However the fact we've met with him signifies thats not what the FD dept thinks and I agree with you that  I also trust our FD more than I ever have. So... Im baffled. Im also baffled by why Preuss wants to come to us in terms of the role he might play. The only sense I can make of any of this is if they know something about off season player movements within our club. Eg A Hogan or a Frost or  a Weid or all three changing clubs. But I just cant see a mass , or even a mini, exodus from our club atm...why would anyone leave right now? To be honest I enjoy being baffled...reminds me of how little I understand about the way the FD is thinking.

    Maybe I should ring Jason Taylor then. I'm all of those things and much cheaper than losing Jesse Hogan.

    Not sure how we could get the trade done.

    I was thinking the same thing, don't think he is a priority IMO.

    You would have to give up one or two of Tyson, Hogan, Hunt, OMac or Frost to get him.

    Can't trade a future first can we?

    You left out our acquisition of Andy Brayshaw with that pick 6* perhaps?

    The rumour came from someone employed at the Gold Coast, who wouldn’t know exactly what Melb would get in exchange for Hogan

    • 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.

      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.

      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?
