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

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
