Haha. What a joke that is. Lever cost us 2 first rounders. Hogan would beย worth more than that.ย

Slap yourself for even passing that on. Disgusting.

With a backline succeeding in finals, Lever to return and Petty developing nicely, I also don't see where he fits.ย  But it seems the club does.

GCS is looking for a high draft pick as next year they will get pick 2-5 when he leaves as a Free Agent.ย  It will require our 2019 1st pick plus player/pick.ย 

We are a latecomer to the party as he seemed headed to Collingwood.

We have to also remember that Joel Smith will have another season behind him and he has gained considerably from somewhat limited experience. At his current age, he is expected to only get better and better, and plays backline well as a rather mobile tall with marking skills. Pump some iron, Joel; get your fitness levels up and over the top; train harder than ever; do the ball and team skills routines until these are automated both in the head and in play. Next year may well be yours...

Is May even a good player anymore? He looks slow, fat and not interested.ย 

He will flourish once he gets out of that disaster of a club.

We've apparently made salary cap space for a potential big pick up (possibly May),

But do we keep our cash and go for Josh Kelly next year?

It sounds like May might have approached us:ย 

"Tom Morris said May was clearly canvassing all his options...to do your due diligence, youโ€™ve got to meet with as many clubs as you can and clearly Melbourne is a successful club...but clearly Melbourne donโ€˜t need him either..." https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/live-afl-trade-video-chat-with-tom-morris-steven-may-reportedly-meets-melbourne/news-story/d700a266e6022e2be5f668ccd7b72fe0

If May's manager came knocking on our door, my question, is when?ย  If after we made/succeeded in finals, its a bit too opportunistic for me.ย ย  Someone looking for easy street, perhaps?

It seems to me we plan our deals a long way ahead, rather than join in a trade bidding war.ย  Yes, we can be as opportunistic as the next but that hasn't been our style of late.ย  So it seems more plausible the approach came from May.ย  Imv, he doesn't give us much more than we have so I say 'thanks but no thanks, Steven.

Canโ€™t see how he fits into our plans...

KPD depth = OMac, Frost, Lever, Petty, Keilty.ย 

Trust in what the footy department does though.ย 

Exactly my thinking. Surely with Lever back there isnt a need for a another tall? Combined with the problem we may have at the other end next year with Weid, Tmac and Hogan , talls really seem like the least of our problems. Or only a problem because we have too many! However the fact we've met with him signifies thats not what the FD dept thinks and I agree with you thatย ย I also trust our FD more than I ever have. So... Im baffled. Im also baffled by why Preuss wants to come to us in terms of theย role he might play. The only sense I can make of any of this is if they know something about off season player movements within ourย club. Eg A Hogan or a Frost orย ย a Weid or all threeย changing clubs. But I just cant see a mass , or even a mini, exodus from our club atm...why would anyone leave right now? To be honest I enjoy being baffled...reminds me of how little I understand about the way the FD is thinking.ย

Maybe I should ring Jason Taylor then. I'm all of those things and much cheaper than losing Jesse Hogan.

Not sure how we could get the trade done.ย

I was thinking the same thing, don't think he is a priority IMO.

You would have to give up one or two of Tyson, Hogan, Hunt, OMac or Frost to get him.

Can't trade a future first can we?

The old "manager shops aroundย to drive his price up" trick! Can't see him coming to Melbourne, what can we offer Suns?

Someone said that Pies players have been told he will be joining the club next year.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
