With Frost, Lever, O. McDonald, Keilty, J. Smith and even Petty, do we need May?

No, we don't.  I'd be stunned if we had any interest at all, especially after we just acquired Lever, re-signed Oscar and have Frost playing terrific footy.  We don't need him at all.

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

    That explains it.  Rumour is 12 months old. Just takes that long to reach the gold coast

    If Jesse wanted to go to Perth ( he doesnt ) and we could get Cerra and Brayshaw in return with a late pick going their way , we would take it .

    Hogan is grossly underated imo.

    Key position forwards who have a tank & can play CHB & in the guts are rare. U don't trade that kind of talent unless they r homesick & want 2b on a plane every 2nd week.

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

    Pick 6, your kidding. Not enough to do a deal.  Even if Hoges wanted out.

    2 picks or Freo can zip off.

     

    Anyway who says Hogan would go to Freo, or West Aus', for that matter ? 

    Maybe he would be tempted to go to help up on the Gold Coa$t  ???   I hear they need replacements, to ante-up ?   And are cashed-up.

     

    Maybe Jesse wants to play midfield with us, or wing/half-back ?

    May doesn't help us not turning it over in the middle of the ground

    No but he'd help us get it back.

    The Eagles were pumping it inside 50 at times because not only do our key defenders get beaten, they just don't take marks, nor do they regularly sink the fist through the ball and clear the contest. So even if you win it back you're under pressure and not in control of the ball.

    Oscar wasn't entirely terrible today but missed a bunch of marks and had plenty of chances to really thump the ball through. Frost had a bad Frost game.

    Lever will help the marking and rebound but is best used as a third option, especially coming off a knee. Maybe Frost and Oscar can improve again, and they showed against the Cats and Hawks they can do the job with midfield support, but it's hard to win a flag without 1 gun key defender.

    One POV is that if quality nominates you, it's an advantageous occurrence, that is not guaranteed to happen all the time. So you shift the magnets and make a trade happen, even if you don't think it's a critical need. It's still an upgrade for locking down a fwd imo. Trade Frost if need be. HBF/Hunt provides dash, its not an important KPD assett, it's icing.

    A reasonably reliable source told me that discussions with May have been underway for longer than has been reported.

    Anyones else we chasing besides May and Pruess?

    The thing with the GC is they wont be wanting a pick for May... They need players to help stabilize their team (Eg Bernie for us 5 years ago) This I think will work in our favor as we have no picks to use... I'm sure the FD well determine who is indispensable IF we really wanted to get the deal done.

    I can see that we could improve our KPD stocks, despite Frost's good year I'm not a believer.

    I'm not a believer in 3 tall forwards either.

    I'd much prefer to go with Weed back or even Hogan.  They would be better than May IMO and we already have them.

    May is excess IMO

    Unless Frost is traded as part of a package. It would be fair to say his stocks are on the rise at the moment, having had a good last month.

    Omac at FB, May at CHB, Lever intercept 3rd tall(ish)

    I too would like to see Hogan tried in the backline, which may disrupt the above.

    May is an upgrade from Frost.

    Interesting, you mention Bernie.  I hadn't considered him.  But he could go around for one more, to help the 'Suns' sort through what a healthy culture looks like.

    They do need maturity and leadership, to straighten up many with wayward ideas.

    May is gone imv.  And the 'Suns' should want him out...

     

    They would NOT want any senior player who is not 100% committed to the footy club, to shape its future with positivity.

    Wouldn't be surprised if we are talking to him with the view of getting him at the end of next year (if needed then), through free agency. I can't see GC taking draft picks this year, they could wait until next year and get a near guaranteed top 2 or 3 pick for him like Lynch this year.

    If they traded now GC would want proven players but I don't know who'd we put up they'd actually be interested in (talking about players we'd happily give up).

    Do we believe the guy in the Harrison Petty thread, who claims that he know Steven May and he is off to Collingwood.

    We were talking to May before he signed his last GC contract.

    There will be casualties at Melb to get the required players in. No doubt about it!

    I believe the Dees will be aggressive...

    Streuss would likely player the other tall anyway, leaving Gawn to drop back into defense.

    Or Gawn forward when resting and Hogan to defense. Played there as a junior I believe

    I'm not a fan of 2 rucks, especially when we have solid and capable relief in Weed and TMac.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
