We don't have time to wait for Oscar to develop into a powerful player.

Correct, so the presence of May in the mix of Jetta, HIbberd, Frost, Lever, Salem et al will be crucial for 2019/20.

    So you don't think clubs refrain from giving votes to players rumoured to be leaving? I'll agree to disagree and leave it there.

    At the end of of the day (or Wednesday, as it is) the actual pick matters little to our trade objectives. If we get 5 as part of the Hogan trade and then use that to get May, we are a significantly better balanced team. IMO we are closer to a flag in 2019 with May than with Hogan, and I rate Hogan highly.

    Apart from Lever there is no evidence of it, Kelly, Sloane, Martin all polled well.

    May needs a very big pre-season. His best footy was quite some time ago. Does May in, Hogan out make us better, I'm not sure. Pick 5 can be used on a much better player, value for money as with all investing. For eg, I'd rather Harris Andrews with a pick 5 than I would Steven May.

    May just needs a new home...one with prospects.....us ;)

    just throwing this up...as it is the want of trading..  Do we actually know, should we indeed proceed to garnering pick 5 that it's just a straight swap...5 for May ?

    I ask this because no where ( to my knowledge ) has the club actually said that. What it has said is we wont be able to do the trade for May. The many seem to just assume  thats all there is to it.. Id be thinking theres some sort of packaging and change or something else.

    I dont think we pay 5 for May...but it's necessary in the deal.

    well as 55 alludes ( i think ) as The KK deal isnt done yet  then maybe its part of this particular equation ?

    by this the only part i can put a handle on are   5 out......May and KK in.... there may or may not be ( npi ) extras one way , both ways whatever.. to that scenario.

    hence my thinking there's other things exchanged

    If we get pick 5 I'd hope we'd look at doing what someone else suggested earlier.

    5 + ?? to Adelaide, who want to get ahead of PA in draft order 

    8 & 14(?) to us

    Give 8 + ?? to GC for May/KK

    Take 14 to draft

    Let's work on the basis that the Hogan trade does not happen. Could we offer next year's first round pick for Kade K and Stephen May. I think it would be enough.

    Next years 1st rounder (16-18) and our 2nd rounder this year (32) for May

    Can’t beleive we would offer up a top 5 pick for a guy who didn’t finish in GC BnF top 10 last year, and only finished 9th this year.

    How does Collingwood satisfy GC if they were to secure May??

     

    They can't and won't.

    In fairness I think he missed a fair few games the year before and also this year.  The bloke is a gun, he is worth every bit of pick 5.

    If May is available for a full finals campaign, he will be worth the chase.

    Unleash May, vandenBerg, Viney, Preuss and our midfield in a Grand Final, and St Johns will need extra staff.

    Would pick 8 get May? Pick 8 and a future 2nd round?

    I would love to give pick 5 and 23 to Adelaide for 8 and 13?

    Anyone got the numbers as to how many goals he has had kicked on him? Honestly doubt it would be much less then Omac has had kicked on him.

    Cannot see a 195cm slow backman beating the Danihers, Browns, Riewoldt which is where we have issues...

    Would even prefer to take Patton and slap him back there

    This isn't the complete answer to my question but it's a start.

    The following key forwards, who May might play on, have kicked goals on us this year:

    R1: Menzel 4.2, 

    R2: n/a

    R3: Brown 4.1, Waite 3.1

    R4: Roughhead 3.1, O'Brien 3.0

    R5: Reiwoldt 2.2

    R6: Stringer 3.3

    R7: n/a

    R8: Day 2.2

    R9: McKay 2.1

    R10: n/a

    R11: n/a

    R12: Cox 5.1

    R13: bye

    R14: Westhoff 2.1

    R15: McCartin 2.3, Battle 1.2

    R16: Cox 2.0

    R17: Schache 2.2

    R18: Hawkins 7.0

    R19: n/a

    R20: n/a

    R21: Franklin 2.5

    R22: Vardy 1.1 

    R23: Cameron 1.4

     

    Other than Franklin, Hawkins and Cox, no one got off the leash. Hawkins was a result of the midfield. Cox only kicked one goal on OMac, the others were on Gawn, Pedo and Smith. I can't remember who played on Franklin. 

    Add better midfield pressure and that improves again. Add Lever back as an interceptor and it helps further. 

    Would May have made that much a difference this year?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
