Is May actually any good?

The trade all all depends on how keen Hogan is to go back to the $hithole Fremantle club.

If he wants to be a life long loser then well and good. Go there. 

If he wants a chance at the big time and is prepared to leave Mummy in Perth then he stays in the world’s most liveable city.

He might regret being a mummy’s boy (and for money). 

Ask retired AFL players: was the money that good or would you rather a premiership to your name?

I’m sure I know the answer.

In every case.

    I'd be happy if TMac kicked 10 goals on his younger brother..

    Wanna bet? $20 says May is a Demon this time tomorrow.

    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’ll do it!

    It's very sad watching you flap around like a dying fish.

    You've entirely missed the point, and art, of trolling if you're the one that ends up making all of the effort. You're just trying pathetically hard.

    This is just painful to watch. Please stop, it's making me sad.

    It’s a contrarian, minority opinion. 

    What’s the problem? Does difference and non-conformity frighten you? That to me actually is sad.

    I'd like to play poker with you.

    Can anyone misread a situation so badly ?

    There's no skill, art or guile in this sentence.

    It's like a tail ender facing 1000 throw downs a day in the nets before closing his eyes and slogging as soon as he gets to the middle.

    200 posts a day isn't trolling. It's a cry for help.

    Look, anyone that has a clue about footy knows May is quality and should be back to his best in a good side like ours.

    It's really simple. 

    Those that don't rate him clearly don't watch enough of him or are just clueless. 

    One can only laugh when posters start talking about which opposition player kicked what amount of goals on him. It's just massive lols.

    If one's understanding of football only goes that far, there's no point in engaging further with them.

    May is quality and is a clear upgrade on our current defenders. I'm not sure I've seen many posts suggesting otherwise. 

    My main concern is that I don't think the value of pick 5 is the same as the value May adds to the team vs OMac over the course of his career. That is based on:

    - we rarely had kpf's kick multiple goals against us this year (and when they did it was often lack of midfield pressure);

    - we have Lever coming back into the defense; and

    - OMac performed well this year, is underrated on this site, and will only get better next year and the year after. 

    But I understand that others (list management included) perhaps see the value of May in the short term as much higher than pick 5.

    It’s been about 20 a day, most of which are spent answering questions and replying to prods, pokes and insults from aggrieved fanboys like you. 

    There was no intention to be guileful or artful in my last reply to you. Was just pointing out your fear and prejudice towards non-conformism. 

    If that hit a nerve so be it.

    Eade on May: He's a really good player. He can play tall but where he can be best used is on the medium types like Robbie Gray that can be hard to match up on

    It's this attribute that has gotten me around to bringing May on board. 

    OMac isn't fast/agile enough, Frost isn't smart enough, Nev isn't tall enough, and as well as acombination of physical attributes that make them unsuitable,  we don't want Lever/Hibb/Salem/Lewis tied down from their usual role as interceptors/distributors.

    You're underrating Nevs ability to play tall..

    Do we have to use pick 6 for May?

    Is it possible we could trade our next year first round and 23 for May?

     

    KK will be steak knives

     

    If we can go to the draft with 6 that's a big win

    Or negotiate 8 and 13 with Adelaide and try and keep 13?

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
