May's age means he has to get paid a heap of money to be in the top 5% of players and therefore draw first round compensation. That would mean he has to get through the year without injury and in decent enough form to draw the big offers. I rate him very highly, but I want him now and not after another year of battling around in a crap team. The longer you do that the less likely it is you get back to your best.

Also pick 5 in this draft is worth far more than only a potential chance of a pick 2. 

The idea of knocking back pick 5 is all silly talk because May's true value is more like a couple of mid to late firsts with pick swaps, similar to Lever, rather than handing over a prestigious pick like pick 5. Gold Coast are just spreading some doubt to keep the price high.

Well, there's proof that this whole week and a bit is just a rigged attention seeking media laughathon.


With May now being touted as happy to go anywhere in Victoria, it is time for our team to lay down the final ultimatum to Freo - right now, give us two first rounder, and Brayshaw of Cerra, or GOGF right now.

Deal or no deal.

Maybe we should get President Trump to do our negotiating ??

I would have done that last week.

We tried to rush Freo. It seems as though they are in no rush. Bell might be learning on the job and making some simple errors, but if he isn't in a rush then he'll do a good job for them. Freo are holding off for a good Neale deal, and so they should be. Once that is through they will probably offer us unders for Hogan at the last minute, and I suspect we will take it - just to get May (which is stupid). If we end up straight swapping Hogan for May then it would be the last straw for whoever is in charge, especially after the Lever debacle last year.

King Ding this team at the MFC that you think are doing such a lousy job got our team into a preliminary final this year. Last straw says you, I think you are sweating the little things and ignoring the big picture. I would give away Max & Clarrie & Viney for pick 87 if it got us a flag or two. That is after all what it is all about.


$cully is a fourth round pick (former no.1 pick on $6m contract at GWS) 

May requires pick 5 ???? 

We even got 31 for watts 

Seriously .... WTF

A lot of hot air and silverback bluff. 

Will it work out? Don't know, but sure as hell look forward to Thursday so as not to deal with Bell-end anymore.

Mitch Cleary reporting that Steven May is happy to play for any Victorian Club.

Things just escalated a little...

Cleary is misquoting Cameron. All Cameron said is that May's open to come to Melbourne  (city) and his suitors  (ie Melbourne & Collingwood) need to come up with suitable currency. Clubs aren't going to come from the clouds tomorrow and trade for a guy they haven't even done a medical on.

It's an deliberate misquote non story. May will be with either Gold Coast or the Demons in 27 hours time.

Couldn't agree more. He clarified it later by saying that he was highly likely to end up at Melbourne.

must say I cannot see what good three draft picks under 10 will do for the Suns.

They need solid senior players. They'll be lucky to hold two of those 6 top 30 picks beyond 3 years.

Pity we can't talk Hogan into going north May and a top ten draft pick would be a breeze.

I think they will be off loading some more top young talents in (2019)... ones who started off the wrong way in a lousy club culture.

The cleanup will take a little while, and more mature footy heads have been recruited.

 

Dewy is doing things right, now... there won't be any quicky fix, up on the Gold Coast. They are rebuilding that footyclub... and the contesting.

The next thing then, they will aim for, is to get to being a destination club,,, as we aimed for.

 

For these reasons, I think they will recruit young guns this year... to start them off with discipline and doing the hard work.

Wouldn't the last straw after these past two years trades, be an actual effect, like an ordinary defence or a forward line lacking scoring power? Or is it only about the symbolism of Mahoney winning a trade to you?

Wouldn't the last straw actually be a defence that doesn't work after all these trades?

Doesn't mean we should overpay just on needs. We were told last year we needed Lever, so we decided to overpay. We overpaid for an unproven lock down defender with an ACL history - who didn't set the world on fire and then did an ACL. Now because we give away this years (and last years) first rounder for Lever, we are trying to offload Hogan and get May - another player we apparently need because of our defense. I could not make this sh*t up if I tried. What world are these space cadets living in when they want to offload Hogan for Steven May? All because they overpaid for Lever. I bet these hero's in charge that everyone applauds didn't even mention Lever's ACL history to Adelaide and tried to bargain down. Just like when we traded a second rounder for Melksham only for us not to factor in a WADA ban and have Melksham sit out for a year. These guys are amateurs. And on top of that anyone wanting to offload a player the quality of Jesse Hogan, essentially in exchange for Steven May, well, they have rocks in their head and they need to be removed from their post ASAP.

GCS Update on May and Kade:

Cameron suggested Brisbane’s pick five, which could go to Fremantle for Lachie Neale before moving to Melbourne for Hogan, would provide the linchpin for any May deal...we’re at the end of that chain and we’ll wait and see what happens," he said.  

"We’ll get something done with Kade either today or tomorrow," Cameron said...If they come to us with something around Steven then it might be tied into that, that’s a fair way off as I said."

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-16/may-happy-to-move-to-a-victorian-club

The key point for me is pick 5 is the linchpin for a May deal ie there will be other +/- .  I read that as GCS adding to May with picks or player(s) depending on when it gets done.  

Unlike Peter Bell, Craig Cameron is an experienced and professional operator. Upon reading that I’m more confident than ever that MFC and GCS have prepared both a May/Kolodjashnij package deal and a Kolodjashnij only deal and are ready to execute either depending on what plays out with Freo re: Neale and Hogan. 

Very noticeable shift in rhetoric from May camp in past 24 hours as the reality of Hogan staying at Melbourne hit home. 

Dees out of the race. Bidding opened up to the floor.

Where's the evidence of that? One comment from Craig Cameron with no real backing from anyone to do with May.

Meanwhile the Jake Niall article lays out the deal that will have him as a Demon.

Jake Niall can lay out whatever he likes. I read a direct comment from Cameron that spoke volumes. You disagree ... no problem.

Based on no factual evidence that says or written that we're officially out of the race.

May is very much right on the edge of becoming a demon by this time tomorrow night.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
