That's not how I read the situation. It seems that May wants out at all costs prior to 2019 and will go to the Dees if the Hogan/Neale trade eventuates but if that trade falls over then he will play anywhere as long as it's in Melbourne (city) and not Gold Coast.

Friendly warning to all. Stop the antagonizing, stop the baiting, stop the accusations. If you have an issue use the report feature. Now please can we go back to waiting until 8:25pm Wednesday for the trade to drop, followed by the Demonland Podcast featuring the Peter Jackson interview and Trade Wrap Up Talk with @Grapeviney & @Nasher.

Welcome to every day since Round 7 2000.

How? We do not have the currency in terms of draft picks to offer CGS particularly when it seems that it was only the acquisition of pick 5 holding the deal up. If we could get him for anything else we would have. We'll have to wait until the next trade period if we want May.

The length of contract should have no effect of the price paid in terms of picks.

If they're willing to pay 8 over 8 (and considering the source [TM not you Demented] I have some doubts) then how can they not give up two first rounders. Can't have your cake * and eat it too. *not permission to start talking about cakes.

Good price to offer from a club claiming he's damaged goods.

Chicken or the egg? Is Jesse shopping around or are we shopping him around?

Let's all calm down, stop playing the man and antagonising others. We have a common enemy here. Let's focus on the colour purple.

A lot of highlights, interviews with families and other boring stuff.

Probably waiting to see if it can be bundled into any May deal. If that falls over I expect it will be done at the end of trade week. My reasoning for this is that it originally was assumed that this would happen at the beginning of proceedings.

I believe it is.

I have no inside information but I guarantee you this is the number one thing holding up the trade. Freo were low balling us on Jesse in the hope that they didn't have to get the Neale trade done to land Jesse.

I agree. I've let it slide over the weekend when there was nothing happening and granted there still isn't anything happening but if you would like to continue talking biscuits then please take it to the general forum.

Damien Barrett mentioned it when he and Wallace were ranting about the Freo and Bell Amateur Show. He interrupted the show and said something to the effect of "we've just been told that Melbourne would have taken 5 & 23 and not the 2 first rounders. Not 100% sure there is a direct quote but the way they put it it was as if it had come from the club.

Didn't we come out and say we would have taken 5 & 23 had Freo not pulled the pin on Friday? If Negotiations resume I can't see us now demanding 5 & 14 (as much as us supporters would love that). I'm not sure it was a smart idea for us to make that 5&23 claim in response to Bell's public tantrum. We probably did it to look like the sane and reasonable ones but it now might have damaged our position by showing our hand.

I hope esprit de corps means no man buns.
