O'Mac is a much better defender when Lever is in the team based on 2018 results. Thou he is playing like crap and certainly needs to go back to the reserves. I would like to see him take on a forward/ruck role. Versatility is not a bad thing. I could see in the future 2020 that May may become a forward. In Preuss out Garlett. so far.

If May plays on Hogan, I expect the result of that single contest will be simplistically viewed by some as a proxy as to whether we "won" or lost on those two trades. 

Nonetheless will be an interesting dual. Watching Freo playing pa at the minute and Hogan shades of his better form. We miss him as someone that would run all the way down the ground to take a mark or crash a pack.

It is clear we lost on the trade irrespective of the match up. Hogan has taken more marks this year than our whole forward line. We gave up a high draft pick and May has only really played one game is yet to have a good game where he beats or even slows down an opponent.

I watched May fairly closely, and thought he had a really good game.  He added leadership to the back half, did a lot of little things, used his body well, positioned himself well and attacked the contests.  For a first game (I’m discounting the quarter he played earlier in the year), he gets a big tick from me.

What right has May got to pretend to be a leader - he has not proved anything at this club yet. He is a mouthy blowhard who needs to focus on his own game if he is going to make it. He was not signed to tell others who have earned and played more games this year, what to do. May was not even a road bump slowing the pies path to the goals. Don't believe all the hyperbole about May. He is an ordinary footballer who will struggle to be best 22 next year. He does not read play well and is unable to lock down an opponent.

Freo were merciless today.  Reminded me of how we played the finals.

Can't see us winning next week.  But I hope we bring some of the ferocity of our finals series.  If we don't Freo will smash us and not just on the scoreboard. ?

Hogan has 72. Melksham alone has 48. Then Tom Mac 43, Hunt 40 etc. etc.

Just nonsense.

Unless you know what he does around the club, I don’t think your views relating to his leadership are fully informed.  He provides leadership onfield in that back 6 by virtue of his experience.  Are you wanting JWags to lead the group? Hore?  I am not sucked in by others, I made my own judgements of his performance on the day.  I feel your view of his performance is overly harsh, and I wonder who you think will replace him in the best 22 next year?  Kielty?  Petty? OMac?  He and Lever are going to be important pillars of our defence for the next few years.  When they get co-ordinated and in synch, I can see them being lauded as perhaps the best defensive KP structure in the AFL.

At least they are fit enough to get out on the field.

Melksham alone has not taken 48 marks this year. TMac has not taken 43 marks  and Hunt has not taken 40 marks this year. Do a google search

 

Walters is going to have a day out playing on us. 

Hogan would be licking his lips having moved to freo. 

Most of us thought when he moved he wouldn’t get good delivery of the pill, welll how wrong were we. 

Who would have thought we would be down the bottom of the ladder this season and freo would be above us!!!!!!

Somehow we’re actually favourites for this game according to Sportsbet.

I’m not worried about Hogan. His goal kicking issues are just as bad and he’ll be too much inside his head to play well against us.

Walters is a very good player but I feel Hibberd might be ok for him.

I’m more worried about Fyfe and Hill.

This game will be a real slog. It’ll be low scoring and if we win it’ll be less than 20pts.

Can’t believe we are favourites wtf is wrong with these betting agencies!!

I am not that worried about Hogan but agree Fyfe, Hill and Walters are our main issues  

Also I’m most worried about our own back yard in regards to our kicking, hand balling, marking and kicking for goal  

if we continue the way we have this season then we are no chance

Agree that Hogan shouldn't be our biggest concern. 

It's Walters that scares me most. He's a genuine superstar and we don't really have anyone who is fast enough or smart enough to deal with him.

That is interesting. The midget Spargo has taken 23 marks to ANB 9 in the same amount of games. 

To be fair though, ANB has had at least 2 games cut short with injury, not that that would make a difference of 14 marks of course.

Stop it.. you are making far too much sense in this post ?

Omac will be lucky to get another game this year if May and Lever put in those solid performance each week. They'll only get better with more match fitness too.

Ok so what would O Mac attract as a trade??

GARBAGE, shows more leadership then Viney and possibly Jones ON FIELD!

Both our captains tend to lead by example rather than on-field vocal coaching types a la Lewis & Hodge.

And unfortunately, with the exception of Jones on a few occasions only, neither has been able to lead by example!

This sentence, in this post. Is that irony, hypocrisy or both?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
