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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
