May is a better leader (not hard) Hogan has potential to be a very good player, May is a very good player.

Hunt and Hogan do not play the same position. Hogan was an important player for us because he took the best tall defender away from Weid and TomMac. It made our forward line work better than it has for years or since. May has not proved he can be a good player in a successful team  and has done nothing to earn his place at the demons, he is a crap leader who was traded out of his leadership. May will be lucky if he gets through his MFC contract. May is not a key position defender he is another intercept zone defender, like Frost, Hore, Lever, Petty, Kielty and Hibberd. Frost has proven his versatility, May has no place telling him what to do. Drafting, list management and coaching are MFC's biggest problems. May is just another who gets a chance to prove himself- I have doubts he will, sorry if you have a problem with that.

None of us know for sure what May was talking about with Frost.  It could well have been a specific thing discussed before or during the game which Frost messed up and May found disappointing.

He didn't bother yelling at the forwards.  Just ran down there and showed them how to kick a big goal!  Loved it!!

Well, if he’s going to start yelling at his Melbourne teammates, he’s going to be pretty bloody hoarse by the time he gets through all the insipid forwards, starting with Weideman, Hannan, Tim Smith &

Funny how the forward line worked better last year when Hogan wasn't playing, how do you account for that? Hogan also has not proven to be a good player in a successful team, in fact he is at his worst in big games.

I have said many times that I believe that Hogan has huge potential, but sadly I don't think he will ever reach it. 

I happen to think that Hogan was gone and there was little we could do to keep him. I think getting May from losing Hogan was the best that we could do. 

I also think May is a leader, he appears to provide a leadership that we have not had for years and it would appear that Nathan Jones also thinks he provides leadership.

Most of what you say is opinion with little or no factual back up, you make gross assumptions based on your biases and I happen to disagree with much of what you say, at the end of the day we disagree who cares.

Agree with the OP.

Even O Mac, Spargo and JFK could've provided more than what our 3 tall fwds did last week.

Wow what a huge statement........ Problem is you are 100% Correct!

Now that IS cause for concern!

Stocks have risen after yet another "Sparkling" game on the weekend. I still believe he would definitely be great Captaincy material!

I could see May as being a player you love eventually mate. Hungry for success, killer attitude, demanding of his team mates, the type of person we need right now at a crucial stage for our beloved club.

Absolutely. Which is why i was so [censored] off when he rolled up out of condition. 

But he is redeeming himself. I will be tracking his next preseason closely.

Just strap him on the end of Saty’s scooter over pre-season and he’ll come back in ripping condition

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
