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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
