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..

    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.

    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?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
