I thought we can't use our 2019 first round pick due to the rules of trading more than 2 in a 4 year period (unless getting AFL approval to do so).

well yes, that is the question

some have posted an afl quote which indicates all clubs have been cleared this year to use future picks (but it wasn't specific enough for my liking)

    The deal is cooked without pick 5. Time to move on.

    So it's off to the dogs for young May.

    I feel strangely sorry for whoever ends up as pick 7 in the draft

    What happened if May came out and requested a trade to Melbourne? would that force GCS hand to do the best possible deal.  It isnt very often a club refuses to deal these days, players get to where they want to go (which i dont agree with, unless they want to come to us of course).

    Or May stays committed to GCS for one more year and we get him in next trade period and costs us nothing

    He's still a contracted player. Same situation as Jesse at the moment. The difference is May is a free agent next year so we can pinch him for free then if he's still available and we're still interested and he still wants to come to us.

    I'll also add that it seems he really wants out and will probably be swooped up by someone else in this trade period despite seeming to want to come to us. Given our poor pick status we just aren't in the hunt now.

    He might have his heart set on us in which case he may be willing to sit it out and wait until next year (not literally sit it out). 

    But as we know a lot can change in a year. Who knows Hogan may find a hot girlfriend and refuse to leave Melbourne at the end of next year.

    Watch Collingwood swoop :(

    Aren't they orchestrating all this... since they had to sign tiler Moore back on.

    They're trying to make JTaylor look like  Derek Hine's biatch.

    Lets NOT be negative, Deefeatist.... get creative.!

    We have 4 options:

    the Hogan deal kicks back in (unlikely)

    May requests a trade to us and they move him on at a lower rate to start their rebuild.

    He goes FA next year and we get him then.

    He ends up requesting a trade elsewhere

    low probabilities for this year, moderate for next if he stays at GCS.

    Hopefully a Dee's fan.

    Still think GC will want to move May along.

    Pick 7 from the Dogs will do it.

    Will May stand on his digs and wait another year.... not sure

    Why would you not want May ?

    He is being massively overrated. What has Steven May ever done to warrant MFC parting with a first round pick?

    Melb v Eagles Prelim

    games played Melb 2000 v WC 2600

    im comfortable with sitting out another year and picking up players who fit our age profile now

    Yeah, what would our FD know? They should listen to a guy who's a king dingaling.

    FMD!

    Next years 1st round + this year's 2nd round for May

    Had our great FD not sold the farm for a 3rd up back with an ACL history (who subsequently did an ACL in his first year at the club), then maybe we would already have May this year. FMD!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
