Perfect result if so. North won't challenge and their midfield is already one paced. Do the deal.
Polec adds pace
Tyson adds grunt

I think we say ok! However, that includes Ed Langdon for our Pick 41.
If the Dockers are going to try and screw us on the Hogan deal then we have to screw them back. We should be talking to Ed if haven’t already!
i wouldn't be including any further picks of ours in the trade with them
5 and 14 and langdon for hogan i would consider
5 and next year's future first and langdon i would consider, and then probably say, sure, and cerra for our future first too
no matter what happens i want the pick BEFORE them in this year's draft
then 14 or freo future first, 41 and tyson to gc17 for may and kk

freo are stuck in that awkward position of beating the poor teams at home, the really poor away, and not being remotely close to those above them
i can completely understand why they're targeting hogan, but if they lose neale they're really robbing peter to pay paul
their home ground advantage finds them actually stuck btw a rock and a hard place

Gary Buckenara rates him highly:
KADE KOLODJASHNIJ: Kolodjashnij has had injury and health issues over the last few years but he has shown himself to be a really good AFL player when fit. I believe he is a potential A-grader, so Gold Coast would want close to A-grade compensation. A first-round pick or a good experienced player would be an ideal trade.

yeah im happy with that. does that put lewis to casey?
we may play there as bernie did this year, but people seem to not realise how young we are as a side
next year lewis, jones and garlett will be the only players aged 30 plus on our list; by comparison carlton have six players turning 30+ next season, and collingwood have eight - nearly all of whom remain in the respective side's best possible squads
we are still very young and inexperienced and wise old heads like lewis and jones remain valuable at senior level

hogan is and will be an absolute superstar
the more i think about it the more shattered i am that this generational talent is leaving us
fortunately we have two more 'once in a lifetime' players on our list in gawn and oliver

He hasn’t been playing as he lacks the fitness to run out a game and he doesn’t impact repeat contests
Hell have to learn how
Hopefully he can be Strawbs to Maxy’s Jimmy

Good point
His numbers are similar to Morton
Two fat ladies - pick 88 - should get it done?

De Stoop and Tom Morris also touched on what May might be seeking in terms of dollars and length of contract from GCS on AFL Tonight. Morris stated around 800k-900k or potentially more per year for 6 years.
I’m curious, does anyone think he’s worth that much?
I say not

like I could be bothered posting for that.
BTW, fresh intel. He's gone.
Only if it’s an ‘unbelievable’ deal for MFC according to my rumour mill

Harris Andrews plays his best games as an intercepting CHB whilst Darcy Gardiner at 194cm takes all the dangerous goal kickers.
Ben Brown and Daniher are scary 200cm forwards but the Coleman is still dominated by guys like Riewoldt, Franklin, Kennedy and Tommy Mc.
Recent draftees like Schache and Boyd haven't looked mobile enough at 200cm.
Mason Cox played a great game, but his opponent came straight from the sick bay, his other finals were ineffectual, any decent defender who can get body on can negate mostly him. Whilst 190cm Jordan De Goey looked the real danger man for the Pies for most of the year.
We can develop Petty as a CHB at 197cm, we can use Oscar in that spot too and we can have Lever coming across and leaping for spoils. What we don't have on the list at the moment is a reliable full back who can win contests deep in the backline.
And I struggle to see how May improves that
i understand that GC17’s midfield outs zero defensive pressure on the ball carrier, leaving him exposed, but he has regularly had bags of goals kicked on him throughout his career
He’s not quick on the lead and he’s not able to battle the high kicks

For those saying May isn't big enough to deal with big forwards, he's the same size as Frawley and Rance.
yes...undersized for a modern key defender
the likes of harris andrews are the prototype - extrezzo tall but agile, just like the key forwards they need to match up on
it's part of why sydney are so keen to get darcy moore in, as he has the height and the nous to play that role

Farewell Dom Tyson
in Melbourne Demons
Goldstein was back to his best form, Majak was playing well, Brown and Waite and others held forward spots...
I am clutching at straws as I personally rate Tyson far more highly than Preuss...
