May have already been mentioned, kind of relevant to this thread.

Just read on FB Pies are talking to Marcus  Adams. 

They have conceded defeat.

I thought Suns said today they will keep May unless someone pays big overs??? Fill me please?

Posturing. They're hardly going to say we'll do a fair deal. He is their captain. But at the end of the day, they'll take a first rounder. Whatever we can give them.

The talk that GC will get 1st round compo pick (effectively possibly top 5) next year if he leaves as a free agent. Is this actually a sure thing? He'll be 28.

Nothing’s a sure thing but it’s highly likely. The AFL have pumped tens of millions of dollars into that joint and it is teetering on the edge of being a failure. If they have to make a choice to give them Band1 or Band2 compo for May which way do you think they’ll lean? 

Despite being 28 heading into 2019 a number of clubs would still offer him 3+ years and good coin if he hangs around GC for another season. 

28 is not old by the way for a fullback in his prime.

He'll be 27 next year, ETG (still 26 until early Jan). Still in his prime for a KPP.

The OMc contract was very late in the day compar4ed to big brothers, and only 2 yrs,, the timing, if I'm not mistaken, was close to the time when May was being touted publicly. and seeing clubs. then Mays touring seemed to stop. Prematurely.?

Is it possible that we got what we wanted arranged,,, then gave Oscar his 2Yrs, and left Frost without 

Is it done and dusted ? already.

He was talking about the year after, when his contract finishes and he’s a FA.

The OMac war is over. 

That's why we are looking at May.

If may is indeed coming on board, it seems likely one of frost or Oscar may assess their options outside of the club given they will find themselves at Casey for a lot of the season

Apparently Adams is now off to Brissy, I think Collingwood are the most likely to get May but are having a very hard time coming up with a suitable trade. We meet with May long before the Hogan talk started (seriously not the chatter that goes on all the time), and I would have assumed it would have been about lining him up next year if we were still interested. 

I think the most likely outcome will be Collingwood trading Moore to Sydney (he wants to go for lifestyle reasons) for their first pick then trading that and either their first round pick this year or next for May. Based on this years draft picks 13 & 18, that gives them the points value equivalent to pick, which would satisfy the suns as it's similar to what they'd get next year if May left in free agency which seems to be their wish.

From article HS:

Champion Data’s statistics show he is so much more than a last-line stopper, the 26-year-old a modern-day defender.

In 2016 he was the third-best defender in the competition behind Alex Rance and ahead of Jeremy McGovern, losing just 14 of 71 one-on-ones for the entire year.

This season Gold Coast haemorrhaged inside 50s, giving up five more than the next-worst side.

He still found a way to contain most forwards apart from Josh Kennedy kicking four on him in Round 4 and Jack Riewoldt six on a day he shouldn’t have played because of those behind-the-scenes issues.

The offensive stuff is what elevates him above the dime-a-dozen stoppers.

This year he averaged 17.4 disposals (second-most for key defenders), 334 metres gained (second most for key defenders) as well 7.6 intercept possessions, three intercept marks and 6.8 spoils (all above average).

Put him into an good side with quality players around him and you have a weapon at full back.

wheres that thing ...about...what area of the clubs pay group youre in...and what the size of the contract is the departing player is to acquire ??

I suppose the precedent is there for a very high pick but it does seem to be diluting as the years wear on and  free agents are walking all over the place.

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would not be excited if he came our way.

With Lever able to give additional cover when Oscar is on a bigger bodied forward, May can take the strongest/fastest each week.

I imagine he would complete the Pies backline also. Lets hope we dont get into a bidding war with them.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
