Insane Carlton paid him 800k a year to get him across from the Crows. He's one of the most overpaid players in history. He's 32 years of age, injury prone, and we have decent defensive depth. There's better options if needed.

Sorry I meant

He is 30, turns 31 in October.

    If Steve May's performance last Saturday was indicative of his projected 2026 footballing, then I'd replace him with McGovern in a heart beat. An absolute heart beat.

    This season has obviously done your head in.

    Are you really thinking the Carlton McGovern or his brother?

    May did struggle last week but on this season alone (a very average one for May, who is coming to an end) he is still streets ahead of McGovern.

    1) yeah the last 2 seasons have absolutely done my head in, in terms of the onfield product we dish up, and the sooner I can accept we’re a genuine bottom 4 team the better. The core premiership players do not appear to be taking this club any further, and it’s the younger brigade plus the hope (rather than expectation) of some savy and aggressive trading are the way forward.

    2) yes I was thinking of Mitch not Jeremy. The former was playing decent footy as a defender for a while but I’m in agreement that he’s probably coming to an end.

    3) my post was more of a reflection of May than McGovern. I think it would be best for all parties if May was traded or calls time a year early if that’s the quality of footy he’ll be producing next year.

    I love all the NO memes, if that is what they are, but lets see, he is an upgrade on Billings, Fullarton, AJ, Campbell, and many others running around in the 2's.

    He is sure no more than a depth upgrade and wouldn't get a game in front of May, Lever and Turner, or probably even TMac, but if every other club is shaking their heads like all your memes then he might be money-ball. He averages 1 good game in 5 and is perennially injured so he would have to come cheap. That is where another club might offer slightly overs coz they need tall backs, maybe even Dogs, but if he's falling cheap then I think as I say he is an upgrade in depth.

    He may get a game in front of May but it’s still a no

    The way May moves, the quicker transition, his attitude at times…..if it’s not the end he’s going to need one hell of a preseason.

    Steven mays worst AFL season is still Comfortably better than anything Mitch McGovern has ever produced. If we were going to recruit him, the only potential would be as a short term sugar hit up forward and I wouldn’t even do that

    It was reported that McG wasn't selected to play this week so he hasn't hit the target for a contract extension. The context of the report was that it was deliberate on Carlton's part.

    Now, Carlton hold all the cards as to whether they offer a contract or at what $. Unlikely, to be anything like the figure mentioned above.

    That’s another discussion but McGovern isn’t the answer. Agree with ‘Ted’ above, May’s still streets ahead.

    Anyone else remember him taking the biggest dive after melksham marked in the goal square to try and get a cheap reversal. Luckily the ump didnt fall for it and it set up the kozzy winner.

    As they say on Shark Tank, "for that reason, im out."

    Your man May is a deadset liability. He’s not streets ahead of anyone on an AFL list

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
