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

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
