We're in week 3 of the first season of the May/Hogan trade and Jumbo has already called it a disastrous one.

#demonland

I'm with others in that May should most certainly have known better. And the evidence is that he is a player who is 28 years of age, is an ex-club captain at AFL level and has been in an elite training environment for how many years?

I find it funny that posters would believe the words he used in the 'media', a platform where truth is always bent. 

It is crystal clear that he arrived at our club in a poor condition. That is a reflection of him, not the Gold Coast Suns. And I would also hedge my bets that his soft tissue injuries are a result of all of this. 

Clearly annoying. 

Means I have to deal with Oscar and Frost for a few more weeks. Yay.

    It concerns me a little that whatever overtraining he immersed himself into to GET fit hasn't set him up for continuing soft tissue niggles.

    GC players in the main seem quite fit I'd say .

    With a family member who left another mediocre club (not Melbourne) to pursue a career at the GC, I can assure you my family member was amazed at the lack of expectation or training requirements after moving clubs between his last game and start of preseason at a new club.

    GC did no testing beforehand and gave him no training schedule to follow in the offseason. 

    May and KK might be long term super trades because we actually have done our due diligence. Both are proven quality player (KK barely but he looked a real talent early in career) yet came through a poor system. Massive upside on quality, proven players.

    Time will tell

    If you believe half the stuff talked about with May joining us then it would seem it was less than an ideal start.

    He is clearly injured and he will be out for some weeks. My experience at watching such things suggests to me that he will not be 100% till much later in the season if at all this year.

    We know he can play and for me I don't think we will see the best from him till 2020,

    Sad but that is the way of the world. A similar situation exists with Tmac he has clearly not recovered from his surgery over the break. IMO he will not be a 50+ goal kicking forward again  till 2020.

    I will hold judgement on May. No doubt there is a bit of rascal in him but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Just hope I don’t end up having some sort of sympathy for Campbell Brown in the future.

    He’s a very good field kick. I’ve always rated him as one but people tend to forget how composed he actually is. I hope everyone does now...

    Seems to be bringing out the adventurer spirit in Sam Frost, that's for sure.

    Not pretending he's perfect, but it does feel comforting to know we have a strong tall defender who is pretty reliable for skill and composure with the ball. For us in the stands and for everyone within the club, I'd guess.

    Great post. 

    The team has a good kick now down there and the keys to a finals standard defence with lever and future 10 year player hore. 

    I see May as a walk up to leadership  group in 2020.

    Fitting that he had the ball today at final siren time

    With May able to lock down the marking threats, Frosty is able to freewheel.

    Not that Frosty and freewheeling are comfortable bedfellows.

    You do have a point. However, it’s a great antidote to much of the robotic football we currently endure (across most teams).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
