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?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
