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 )

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
