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

    Nope. if we tried it he'd be lining up for another team. he was never staying there.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
