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!

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
