Have you even seen May play. He is an elite defender, with elite speed and is a better user of the ball than Frost, Oscar Mcdonald and Lever so he would be a massive upgrade. May plays for the worst team in the comp, where he has no support at all. He would thrive in a team like ours. 

Well yes.  Too much unfortunately courtesy of a GC supporting friend, and this year had a special interest in May.  He  was not an elite ball user this year from what I saw and turns it over a lot. Champion data has him at almost 4 changers and turnovers a game, almost 25% of the time he gets it.  Not worth a high draft pick. There is not a defender even at Carlton at that level.

That was 2 weeks wasted.

Im not disappointed TBH. Hope Jesse comes back stronger for this in 2019.

"We need to stick to our guns - 2x first rounders or nothing" 

Not sure if anyone has said this yet so I'm throwing it out there

If I was Freo I'd be doing the following:

Pick 11 & 23 to GWS for Lobb and pick 14

Neale & pick 49 to Brissy for Pick 5, 2019 2nd round & pick 41

Pick 5 & 14 to Melb for Hogan

We can then send 5 & 32 to GC for May and pick 24

A very good outcome for us (@#$% the rest lol )

You've missed your calling ;)

So what does Jesse think about going to Freo now? Would he go next year?

Where was this sourced from?

Are you happy with that though. There's no way I can put up with Oscar Mcdonald for another season. Especially with teams like richmond having lynch and riewoldt. 

Rubbish comment Omac gets exposed at times due to poor pressure up the ground but reads it quite well and wins a lot of 1 on 1's his disposal is also good. People seem to remeber 2 years ago Omac not the player we have now.

Well that was a waste of time.

Thanks Freo. Hope you enjoy bottom four next year.

Idiots. Obviously content to be mired in mediocrity for many years to come.

Myself, very content for us to move on and for Jesse to help us win a flag in 2019.

Positive is Jesse wont go back to Perth unless West Coast want him next year.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
