Not sure, trying to get pumped about it. If he was a brilliant Dustin Fletcher type kick then it would be a no brainer but I don’t see anything special about his kicking from what I’ve seen. I don’t watch Gold Coast every week though.

    How many KPD's can kick like Dustin Fletcher?   May doesn't need have to be an elite kick, just above average which he is.

    He is elite 1 on 1 and hes tough as nails.  He averaged almost 20 possessions a game last season.. not many key backs can shut down their man and find the ball that much.

    A massive upgrade on both O Mac and Frost.    Its  like adding another Lever.

    Yeah probably true, more a want than a need. Also if we lose Hogan there goes another great field kick. 

    He is a very good quality interceptor May.

    May and KK are better field kicks then Hogan.

    KK probably. I wouldn’t call May a piercing kick though.

    I am quite surprised Tom Langdon is not signed by the Pies. 190cm 83kg.

    I rate him very highly. He plays a key role down back. However, I believe can push up onto a wing and play similar role to what his brother does at Freo. Playing him up on a wing also allows him to drop back and help out when need. 

    May and Langdon would be great gets!

    I think that's why we're interested in KK. Price tag won't be nearly as big, but big reward if he can find his best form again.

    Which Hogan are you watching?

    I see a guy who goes the short sideways option instead of pulling the trigger inside 50.

    And the stats say 59.5% kicking efficiency this year which is below Tyson and Brayshaw.

    May was the Suns 5th more efficient kick. In a better side he'll either be able to play it safe and not waste the ball and/or take the game on more.

    Ah yes, the stats. It's fairly easy to rack that number up when most of your kicks are inside the back 50 and 20 metres in length.

    i agree with that poster. hogans field kicking has been way over hyped. dreadful ball drop and has made many mistakes kicking off 1 step.

      • To me
        • Frost is just so exciting/a point of difference with his speed (sure he can drop a simple mark or two, but this second half of the season hes been hitting targets by hand and foot, whilst still dropping some easy marks lol)..
        • O-mac is solid, good at out-bodying smaller opponents 1v1 and when we control the midfield looks like a general down back.

    Just need Hogan to let us know what his thoughts are.

    I think Lever will roam around at CHB, May will anchor the backline at full back and we will pick the 3rd tall defender to lock down depending on opponent. Or even go without a 3rd tall and back Hibberd and Jetta in. 

    Against a side like the Pies that would mean either Frost or Joel Smith to play on De Goey. Against the Eagles that would mean Oscar to take the resting ruckman. 

    From Mahoney's comments yesterday I don't expect Lever to be rushed back in so with or without May there will be plenty of chances for guys to play.

    Instead of May, how about play Jesse back? ?

    As we are only going after May if Hogan leaves, that may well happen

    Llloyd is spot on.

    Never thought he'd end up being one of the few AFL media types I like.

    Apparently Moore is likely to stay at Collingwood according to his manager so getting a a draft pick that they can trade for May just became more difficult.

    Who else is interested in him?

    Thanks

    I wonder if Hawthorn are in the frame? Although, perhaps if they're going hard for Shiel and already have Mitchell and O'Meara on their books, it makes a May play less likely.

    I reckon we're in the box seat. The fact he met us twice and met with the players like Gawn etc, that usually tells you the deal is all but a matter of getting the trade done.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
