Don’t shoot the messenger, but rumour I heard was Hogan to Freo for pick 6, pick 6 to GC for May.

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

    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.  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.  It will require our 2019 1st pick plus player/pick. 

    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. 

    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: 

    "Tom Morris said May was clearly canvassing all his options...to do your due diligence, you’ve got to meet with as many clubs as you can and clearly Melbourne is a successful club...but clearly Melbourne don‘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?  If after we made/succeeded in finals, its a bit too opportunistic for me.   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.  Yes, we can be as opportunistic as the next but that hasn't been our style of late.  So it seems more plausible the approach came from May.  Imv, he doesn't give us much more than we have so I say 'thanks but no thanks, Steven.

    Can’t see how he fits into our plans...

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

    Trust in what the footy department does though. 

    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 that  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 the 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 our club. Eg A Hogan or a Frost or  a Weid or all three 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.

    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.

    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?

    You left out our acquisition of Andy Brayshaw with that pick 6* perhaps?

    The rumour came from someone employed at the Gold Coast, who wouldn’t know exactly what Melb would get in exchange for Hogan

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
