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.

so assuming we get May what does the backline look like next year?

I thought our shortcomings were Vince and Lewis whereas May is a tall.

Does this mean one of Frost or Omac are back to Casey?

Would not be at all surprised if Frost forms part of the trade for May/KK

Well, with Lever back, we'd have Salem, May, Lever, OMac/Frost, Hibberd, Jetta and Lewis/Jones.

Assuming May is a starter then the 4 bolded above would be locked in (possibly Salem as well)

That would leave 4 fighting for a single spot - something has to give

Disagree. That's true depth.

Besides, it'd be a horses for courses situation and form-related. The best place to be in. Particularly, as two of those four guys are in the twilight of their careers.

Maybe. Particularly, if we did the delaying.

Actually our theoretical depth goes way beyond that for possible back six candidates (can you have too much? should we look to bolster the midfield / outside runners rather than continuing to load up in defense?)

- B Fritsch

- TMac if Hogan stays and Weed is going ok

- J Smith

- J Hunt

- H Petty (looks a way off but who knows)

- J Wagner

Llloyd is spot on.

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

Yes - I am also surprised.

Still looks and speaks as if he is as dumb as #@*&^, but his content can be thought provoking.

(Doesn't get rewarded for diving, which is a pleasant change).

Watched the wash-up on the AFL website and M Lloyd said:

  • O Mac isn't a number 1 defender
  • If may comes he thinks May, Lever and Frost is a better combo than May, O-Mac and Lever (which i like the idea of more).
    • 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'd be happy with a direct swap of May for OMac.

Distinctly different tone that what Mahoney used when discussing Hogan. Could be the state of their club, but I'd like to think it's just that we've got better operators in place. We seem much more realistic about how the whole trading scenario's could work, rather than just being so defensive about everyone.

If May selects us and we trade JH, the deal will be done. Interestingly GC didn't rule out a trade like they did with Martin.

I know it's only Purple....but when was the last time anyone said Demons....and flag favourites ...in the same breath ?! ;)

Hibberd, too. Scary unit bearing down on you at full tilt.

Still like to play Frosty, regularly, for his improving clearance skills, and he augments the Jetta, Hibberd and Salem triad, already. OMac would be the one who should prop up/continue to develop at Casey.

Something slow, skinny, underdeveloped, error-ridden and timid. 

Steven May sounds flaky. Do we really want him? 


Not that difficult to pick between 5 clubs in total.

My take is that May wants the Dees, but can't show his hand until Hogan confirms he's seeking a trade to Freo.

We'll know nothing about May's intentions until we know Hogan's.

Oscar might not be as dashing and agile as Frost but he has the better skills and is more composed with ball in hand. Much more composed. He may not be the finished article yet but Oscar played some very good footy this season, especially when Lever was up and about and he could play second fiddle back there.

Add May to the back six, get Lever back from injury and watch Oscar thrive with main glare of a key defensive spotlight off him. That’s the added blessing of having tough-ass gorilla-minder like May come into the side. Takes some of the heat off Lever and OMac.

Frost will be the one pushed to the back of the pecking order if May is brought in. Skill level is not at the level for a side with premiership aspirations. Couple of those fumbly turnovers and wonky 30m passes against an Eagles or Tigers and wooshka ... it’s game over.

Disagree, but there you go ... that's opinion for you.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
