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.

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

    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.

    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

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
