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.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
