If Josh Kelly comes to the Dees, I will throw on a barrel, pig on the spit and a bonfire. Bring it on.

Demonland has gone cray cray

47 goals doesnt have to come from 1 player. Lets say, 30 from Weid, a full season from TMAC might net another 10, Spargo may kick 20, Petracca may improve his goalkicking, Gawn may rest forward more with Preuss etc. We may lose some firepower, but we may also strengthen our backline, we will find a way I'm sure.

Dangerfield was a free agent, no contract to Crows?

If North get Gaff and Polec, they won't be getting Kelly, so it's delicious already!

NAB contracts are 2 years from drafting but can be broken, Schache is the most recent example from memory who signed an extension then was traded shortly after, so Cerra can be in play if my research is correct.

Picks 4 and 5 would bring in Josh Kelly, picks 10 and 15 wouldn't. Picks are critical, if we want top end talent coming in.

Yes and Yes, I think TMAC is behind him on $700k, JH currently $800k and would be pushing for 7 figures.

Exactly.

Has anyone actually seen Steven May play?

We need skill, damn skill I tell ya, people who can hit a target, what you lack in pace can be made up for in foot skills.

I don't buy into the injured card, he played fine in between against poor sides.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Danger was a free agent and Geelong didn't need to give anything up, at Dangers request he demanded that Crows were looked after, so they were given draft picks.

We beat WCE, GWS, Geel and HAW without Hogan, we've got to remember that also. His record against the better teams was poor.

Yes that's correct DZ.

Draft picks are not overrated, the draft itself is. Draft picks get you stars like Kelly, Hogan, Whitfield etc.

So you'd give up a pick 5 for a 27yo May STMJ? I wouldn't. But do think he is what we need, for the right price.

I also hope that in the back of Jesse's mind, he respects and demands us getting maximum value for him considering how the club have treated him through all of his issues since day one, I hope he says to Freo, I want Melb to be looked after, much like Danger did with the Crows.

How do we get Cerra, don't new draftees have to be at their drafted club for a minimum 2 years? Not making him available until 2019?

Gone to Hawks or Carl I feel anyway, Haw if he wants success, Carl if he wants what they're offering him.

What has been the catalyst and sudden change for Jesse? eg; not wanting to extend contract and open to a trade? What has happened?

Sam Manure - the absolute diarrhea that spews from his mouth is absurd, cocky little know it all turd. In what planet is a) Wingard worth 2 first rounders and Hogan not, b) Steven May worth pick 5 and c) I can't even remember what I was going to write! I'd rather keep Hogan than be screwed around. The club surely wouldn't even consider that [censored] show of a deal. Can we trade Sam Manure and bring back Dennis Commetti? Coffee time.....on this beautiful Victorian spring day......

I'm with you, North playing the high demand card. I think he'll go for a 3rd.

North apparently want a second round pick for Preuss.
