I thought we can't use our 2019 first round pick due to the rules of trading more than 2 in a 4 year period (unless getting AFL approval to do so).

well yes, that is the question

some have posted an afl quote which indicates all clubs have been cleared this year to use future picks (but it wasn't specific enough for my liking)

    The deal is cooked without pick 5. Time to move on.

    So it's off to the dogs for young May.

    I feel strangely sorry for whoever ends up as pick 7 in the draft

    What happened if May came out and requested a trade to Melbourne? would that force GCS hand to do the best possible deal.  It isnt very often a club refuses to deal these days, players get to where they want to go (which i dont agree with, unless they want to come to us of course).

    Or May stays committed to GCS for one more year and we get him in next trade period and costs us nothing

    He's still a contracted player. Same situation as Jesse at the moment. The difference is May is a free agent next year so we can pinch him for free then if he's still available and we're still interested and he still wants to come to us.

    I'll also add that it seems he really wants out and will probably be swooped up by someone else in this trade period despite seeming to want to come to us. Given our poor pick status we just aren't in the hunt now.

    He might have his heart set on us in which case he may be willing to sit it out and wait until next year (not literally sit it out). 

    But as we know a lot can change in a year. Who knows Hogan may find a hot girlfriend and refuse to leave Melbourne at the end of next year.

    Watch Collingwood swoop :(

    Aren't they orchestrating all this... since they had to sign tiler Moore back on.

    They're trying to make JTaylor look like  Derek Hine's biatch.

    Lets NOT be negative, Deefeatist.... get creative.!

    We have 4 options:

    the Hogan deal kicks back in (unlikely)

    May requests a trade to us and they move him on at a lower rate to start their rebuild.

    He goes FA next year and we get him then.

    He ends up requesting a trade elsewhere

    low probabilities for this year, moderate for next if he stays at GCS.

    Hopefully a Dee's fan.

    Still think GC will want to move May along.

    Pick 7 from the Dogs will do it.

    Will May stand on his digs and wait another year.... not sure

    Why would you not want May ?

    He is being massively overrated. What has Steven May ever done to warrant MFC parting with a first round pick?

    Melb v Eagles Prelim

    games played Melb 2000 v WC 2600

    im comfortable with sitting out another year and picking up players who fit our age profile now

    Yeah, what would our FD know? They should listen to a guy who's a king dingaling.

    FMD!

    Next years 1st round + this year's 2nd round for May

    Had our great FD not sold the farm for a 3rd up back with an ACL history (who subsequently did an ACL in his first year at the club), then maybe we would already have May this year. FMD!

    • 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.
