Im glad. i don't rate him. Slow and soft. Just a pure accumulator in a world that is obsessed with stats

One of the best posts for a while. I think anyone who wanted to keep Watts should be banned from even commenting on this trade board. Just goes to show that some supporters are so biased and get so attached that they can't see the forest for the trees and overrate their own players. Watts was never going to succeed at afl level.

all of the time

Yeah definitely. I just think that if May was 23, we'd be content with a straight swap.

may is a better player than hogan. its just that may plays for gold coast and hogan plays for a top 4 team with the highest inside 50s per game. its not a straight swap though because hogan is younger.

trade period should be 2 days. its so boring

so boring

Haha, to be fair it's until round 1 of next season. I believe that was the bet Binman? Also, Peter Bell would be worse

at the end of the day, if we get May i dont want to see any of oscar mcdonald in 2019

Are you saying that Oscar Mcdonald is better than May? lol. please not be serious Our whole defensive structure and game plan is to dominate the midfield so we don't ever leave Oscar Mcdonald 1 out. I swear anytime he is left 1 on 1 he gets pushed out of the contest with ease.

i'd love to get May into the club! im sick of oscar mcdonald. yes, he has improved but he is still a poor defender. Whenever he gets beaten, oscar lovers blame the midfield. its time to bring in defenders that can defend when out of position. No excuses. May, Lever, Hibberd and Jetta. Thats a great 4.

haha so true. he took so long to dispose of the ball

why weren't we keen on wingard?

Have you even seen May play. He is an elite defender, with elite speed and is a better user of the ball than Frost, Oscar Mcdonald and Lever so he would be a massive upgrade. May plays for the worst team in the comp, where he has no support at all. He would thrive in a team like ours.

Are you happy with that though. There's no way I can put up with Oscar Mcdonald for another season. Especially with teams like richmond having lynch and riewoldt.

No way am I happy with trading out ANB. The guy is a bloody good player. He kicked 27 goals this year which is a great return for a guy that pushes up the field a lot.

we will make sure we get May. I'm confident of that.

Overall, I like the way he handles himself and gets things done but we definitely spent too much for Lever who was out of contract. But he did well to get hibberd and melksham but I'd be pi$$ed if we don't get 2 first rounders for Hogan.

steven may is a gun though and will go to a whole new level at a new club that is actually competitive. we may only get 3 or 4 seasons out of him though so don't overspend.

Good post. I think you may be right but I think Mahoney wouldn't settle for pick 5 and 23. I think if its not 2 first rounders then Mahoney would ask for another pick in the 30s to make up for the imbalance. So hogan for 5,23 and 30-something.

I'd love to sign Jesse to another 1 year extension and tell freo that we will continue to do this until you cough up what he is worth

also forward 50 pressure will be important and unfortunately thats where hogan lacks significantly.

thanks dom for your work. got caught holding the ball too many times for my liking but was really important to us when we were a basket case. he helped get us off the canvas and i thank him for that.

can someone post the Herald Sun article that is in Fridays edition. It's pay walled but it says WCE could enter the equation. I highly date WCE have the pocks to satisfy us anyway so its just posturing.

dean kent has just been traded for pick 65
