If we have the money and hogan stays would we consider Tyson and a pick for May, surely goldcoast could do with a player like Tyson and he will get the midfield role he craves

    Tyson would have to agree. He’s already disagreed to a move to GC.

    How can Hawthorn possibly trade enough for Shiel?

    If GWS are forced to offload him due to salary cap constraints, then they have just been very very lucky to be able to exploit GWS’ inability to manage a list properly.

    GWS also lost Treloar to the Pies which [censored] me (forget what they got in return).  Treloar is a better player than Shiel in my veiw.  If I was GWS I definitely would have wanted to keep Treloar.

    I have to wonder.  How many weeks has May been suspended in his career?  I know he's gone a few times.  It's been one of the big knocks on him.  Anyone know how to find out?

    As far as I’m aware he’s been suspended twice, once in 2016 for five weeks and once this season for one week.

    It may have been mentioned earlier on this thread (can't be bothered looking), but there was a stage in the later parts of this season where the idea was discussed that Gold Coast could rip up May's current contract, effectively making him a Free Agent.  The reason for doing this is the compo pick they would receive would be of far greater value than what May would command in a trade.

    With or without Jesse's departure, this is hopefully something the MFC are discussing with the Suns.  I'm sure the AFL would look after it's love child if they approached with this request.

    Pretty sure the AFL crushed this idea....

    The AFL didn’t approve it.

    Whispers circulating that Steven has requested a trade to the Dee’s. I must stress, these are whispers only. More to come. #ETthetradebreaker.

    So he is free agent next year, and GC get say pick 3 compo.  Trade him out this year for what?  Only if they value this draft massively over next year would they blink, unless its cultural.  In that case, why would we want him?

    And Tyson is interested in North.  Tyson was reportedly on $500k pa.  Factor in the Kent trade, the more expensive delists/retirements (Vince, Pedersen, Bugg) and the likelihood of Aaron going ? should give us enough cap space to pick up May.  

    And, I reckon we will still have some coin in the kitty to pay our other trade in players. 

    So if we can find a trade that will satisfy GCS we can get May regardless of what Jesse does.

    So, if this is the case, do we look at these two trades (hogan and may) being done separately OR is it still tied up , and perhaps with Hogan, it is finer detail to be worked behind the scenes, before an imminent announcement?

    I have a suspicion, nothing more, that there indeed would be a plan B. By all accounts we've been into May for some whiles. This FD raiding party have proven themselves quite wiley over the years. You'd think they have a contingency plan should the Hogan fiasco go south.

    Just my view

    Tom Langdon had a medical at the Swans. Not sure what it means regarding Steven May.

    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.

    put frosty on a wing?

    That was Plan B. Plan A was to have a crack at him next year.

    Plan C it is

    Does anyone know if the club applied to the AFL for permission to trade next year's first round pick ? If so, were we successful ?

    point taken    . Plan C it is.....make it so Dees

    ( all clubs were cleared by AFL to trade next seasons 1st Rounders...apparently.. Seems like on the fly revisionism to me...but hey that's Gil )

    • 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?
