If I see us trade a first round pick for another player we could get for free the following year via free agency I’ll be sick.

 

Steven May says hi

We could’ve drafted King, then taken May as a FA this year.

    Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

    There are no guarantees in life.  The above might have happened, or we drafted someone else and then May went to play for someone like the Bulldogs after our disastrous season.  Then we would be bemoaning the fact we didn't trade for him the previous year.

    May was leaving last year, so it was then or never. You’re quick to fire back, but maybe try putting some thought into it ok?

    I'd suggest to not bother posting back to Olisik.

    Posts about us going after senior coaches like Adam Simpson for a 2 IC role and then gets stuck into others for posting far more realistic trade scenarios.

    He is the Demonland equivalent of Nuffies on AFL pages....

    Trading a year before FA also lessens the number of suitors, who might not be able to pay what you might pay, pick wise. If we wait until FA then the likes of Hawthorn or Collingwood can jump over them only having to make cap room.

    It's the new world where if a player is a free agent after the following season they'll be talked about so clubs try to maximise their return. Would GWS want pick 2 this year for Whitfield as compare to potential a compensation pick in the mid to late teens next year? Grundy, Crouch, Daniher and  Cameron are all on a similar list (free agent next year) who've all been spoken about either on here or in the media. 

    However, I get the impression that he'll play out most of his career in Sydney away from the Melbourne footy bubble, I'm sure he'd love to play in Melbourne (the town) but from what I've heard it's best if he stays away from other potential distractions and being in Sydney gives him a better opportunity to do that.

    Yes, I should know better, but sometimes I get itchy fingers and can't help myself.

    no we couldnt as May would have been traded to carlton or saints , as both of them offered him more $$$ and picks to GC

    Good, the asking price for someone like Whitfield and Kelly would be too high.

    ...and not value for money.

    Whitfield has an excuse for his GF performance but Kelly was soft.

    It was left to the junior mid in Tarranto to fly the flag.

    I would happily take Tarranto over Kelly and Whitfield.

    Absolute star in the making.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
