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: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
