Personally we should do the May deal first if were allowed to use next years 1st rounder. That would really throw a spanner in the works and Freo would be under enormous pressure thinking we have changed tact.

This was brought up by someone earlier on in this mammoth thread. 

Yeah. We're all popping in at various times due to being in different parts of the world. Stuff will be rehashed between different people.

Next year's 1st rounder would have to be expected to be 15-18 (we're equal 2nd Fav for Premiership with Coll/WCE)

That'll drift a few places with Priority and Compos

That's not going to get it done I'm afraid 

So we're waiting for Freo

GC won’t take our pick next year for May. No way they accept it. They will just keep him and get the early compensation pick for losing him as a FA

That’s specious reasoning borne out of Mahoney’s inability to explicitly say what he meant by ‘affording’ May. The connotations are that we don’t have the cap space but that is crap; we have been chasing Gaff and Kelly. What we will struggle to do is to ‘afford’ to acquire May with our lack of picks. So the May sitution moving forward really doesn’t mean Hogans’ is too.

I know that. 

I posted how we have the sal cap space and how the May/Hogan deals are separate, in the May thread about 30 min ago:

Am I right in saying that the list managers pull up stumps at 3pm each day?

In which case they do less work than the real estate industry and need to tough it out a little longer in order to get deals done.

they would all be calling each other after hours anyway.  they 'clock off' at the building at 3pm.

Would like to hear mahoney answer a question of what will be done in defence if Hogan stays. Do we have a plan b recruit or May next year?

I am more than happy to hear nothing from Mahoney. 

Keep Freo guessing and under pressure

see if tyson wants to go to the GCS and put forward next years 1st round draft pick for May and maybe another 2nd rounder. see if that floats. and if Jessie goes and we get a couple of nice early draft picks, then bonus.

Officially yes, but it goes on basically 24/7 especially at this time of year in one way or another.

I can’t see Brisbane taking a future first round pick. They may as well retain May for next season, they’ll get more in the same draft with the compo pick they’ll receive for him.

Given Frost wouldn't even be first depth with Omac + Lever working just fine this year. Surely Frost could be asked if he wanted to go, given a lack of opportunities with us.

Oh I don’t know, I think Brisbane would happily accept a future first for May...

Tyson can still go to North, and we can then ontrade the pick we get for him to help get May, and could include next years first rounder or it might not.

I wonder whether the GCS position of a trade this year must be approx next years FA comp pick, is being overplayed.  They can get a player(s) now to develop/contribute rather than waste a year with May playing out time.  They have other good leaders: David Swallow and two metre Pete is pretty good value, if they can get him on the park.

One would think the environment and culture needs to come before draft picks.  Agree a future 1st round won't get it done, but I have a hunch they might give him up for less than their posturing suggests.  A complex trade, camouflaged with swapping of current/future later round picks...

Throw in a 2nd rounder, should more than sufficient.

How has the Hogan camp still said nothing after yet another deadline? 

The longer the silence, the more I think the deal is agreed to but hinging on the L.Neale agreement. ?

I doubt very much they haven’t said anything it’s just not public yet. I don’t think freo and the dees enter trade negotiations without at least an incredibly strong indication. Trade week is too short to waste time

Definitely

no one will give them pick 1-4 for May which is what they get as compo next year. Remember also that the recipient club pays nothing in the form of draft picks next year. It's just a quirk of the system.

On the other hand they have a disaffected captain who they don't want hanging around the club.

Their choice

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
