The decision to sign May to an $800k extra year at the start of this season needs to be explained. How can we have confidence in any decisions if they are doing this?

    Poor list management if we had have waited until the end of the season we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    Whoever is to blame should deserving of a lambasting..

    It was obviously a terrible decision at the time. The club didn't know where we were at given Petracca and Oliver and May was going on 34!

    Interupted pre-season, injured at the time and we signed him before seeing him playing a single game on big-money. Baffling decision.

    We've really got two "6 of one" alternatives:

    Trade May for Mihocek and bank the end of 2nd round compo for Spargo. Collingwood forego compo for Mihocek leaving as FA.

    Trade May for Collingwood's 2nd rounder (33), take Mihocek as a FA and forego the compo for Spargo. Then Collingwood get compo for Mihocek.

    His turning circle is so large now and his inability to bend down so obvious, he'd be a Manchurian candidate without any need for mind control.

    MFC seems to give out "one year too many" deals like confetti.

    Most posters defend the practice by saying that a slow "Player X" is better than a late second round draft pick.

    Could be right but what does it say about player depth in this competition.

    Personally I'd prefer to have given Seston another year than keep May or dare I say it,Fullarton (he was just starting to show something at CHB for Casey).

    How can the Pies afford May if they can't afford Mihocek? This deal seems like we are paying May to play for Collingwood which is unacceptable.

    They've offered Mihocek 2 years but he's not taking it. They'd offer those 2 years to May who only has one year to run at MFC.

    Real is us playing $500k of the wage next year with no pick return. May's last two games of the year were so poor that he is no value. It would have been better for us he got a 5 week suspension.

    A bit like the Viney extension. It seemed concocted to give the Club a PR boost & take the spotlight off Goodwin's recent record.

    You could say similar about Mihocek. They're about equal value IMO.

    Mihocek looks cooked. We are stupid offering 3 years.

    wouldn't have been such a problem if we hadn't also recommited to Tommy Mac for 26 as well. For me it should have been one or the other, and when one is already locked in i think we should have given TMac a nudge. How is Adams going to progress if hes playing 3rd banana next year at Casey with May and TMac.

    Totally agree.

    When did it become logical to offer good ordinary 33 year olds three year deals.

    TMac was done AFTER the season. I would mandate our contracts team go overseas from November to June.

    When we re-contracted TMac it was pretty clear we knew May was on the way out. We need some KPB depth: Turner, TMac, Adams, Lever?, Petty?, Derksen? - Lever has been injured a lot, we haven't got Derksen yet and Petty will only be freed up if we get Mihocek or someone similar forward. Recontracting TMac was smart business.

    Not to mention Tmac played significantly better footy this year than either May or Lever

    • 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.
