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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
