Feels like = IS KK is worth a pick in the 60+ range if you ask me based on Kent , Rohan, Scully talk etc if we can’t get this done and retain a high 1st round pick it should not be considered full stop
-
Couldn’t stand him as a player - some things just never change it seems
-
I really don’t get the love for May the only reason we would entertain this deal is if we have been told categorically by Jesse he’s gone as soon as he can and does not want to be MFC player What effectively constitutes a swap May for Hogan and a second round pick is nuts As far as KK is concerned I took the chance to watch the R21 game vs Suns last night and all I can say is for him to get a game he needs to HTFU big time

If their behaviour hurts them as a club long term I say great - ship it in ! Anything that makes other teams less attractive than the MFC is ok by me These young men you talk about are no different to any other people in business ( yes it’s a business not just a sport ) they make their own bed by entertaining interest from other clubs - they don’t even have to negotiate their own contracts they have managers to do all that for them. They don’t even have to make any public statements about what their real intentions are. They don’t need the AFL to intervene their managers are paid good money to protect and advance their individual cause. In the case of JH I support him 100% whilst he is a MFC player - when and if he says he’s not then my support is withdrawn - simple

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS
Sydee replied to What's topic in Melbourne Demons
Right now Tyson is so far ahead of this guy it’s not funny - Preuss needs to really knuckle down and do as much if not more work than Max in the pre season to really justify this trade I hope he proves me wrong but I’m far from convinced that he will make it - North agree or they wouldn’t let him go I suspect Being the size of small battleship means nothing if you can’t keep up with an ever increasing pace of the game - in fact it is a major disadvantage to the team Jury very much still out on this one ! -
As much as my heart says no my head says yes if his ankle is good the guy ripped our heart out when he deserted to fill his wallet but I agree that he would certainly help fill a void we have with outside run and the thought of the Dorks getting that advantage makes me feel sick would be hard no doubt to cheer him like other players who have been loyal but - if it took us closer to an elusive flag why not consider it

Now you are back onto biscuits its gonna happen there's nothing really left to say on this little fiasco
-
Feeling pretty confident it isn't going to stop at 300
-
Wow they really are on fire ! Not very bright at all
-
I really do wonder what the man himself (JH) is thinking right now ? Be great to hear from you Jesse when you are ready

We should not be entertaining any sort of trade for Jayden Hunt I still have faith that he can become a valuable contributor particularly with the now confirmed rule changes which will increase the speed of the game again We don't need to panic or give away one of our best footballers to the Shockers and make them semi-competitive all to achieve the addition of yet another key back who in my opinion whilst useful is no superstar and if anything undersized height wise to take on the really big forwards who are the ones that hurt us most (Brown etc.) The sensible thing to do is set a very clear expectation with Freo and Bell about what is acceptable for us to proceed with this (picks / player/s and time frame) then stick to it - if they don't give us what we need simply close the door and do not discuss it further I'm happy to keep JH I would like to see him trialed at CHB next year if it doesn't make sense to play 3 tall fwds - I would like him to spend another year living in Melbourne and gaining a greater affinity with the city his team mates and all things to do with MFC. Who knows he may decide he would like a long term contract next year with us -in short I don't see any real downside with this outcome
-
Hmm with the change of rules and the constant push for gender equality we might be onto something here
-
Wow that's a shocking trade for your Uncle
-
I think it may increase the value of smaller mobile strong marking forwards of which we have a few - perhaps this is the reason we are prepared to entertain JH leaving for fair compensation Although not a massive fan of May one thing he does have is leg speed for his size which is a positive - not sure if his ability to read the play and reaction time is as good but assume our FD know best
-
I think some of the posters with all that confidence might be on the Weed literally
-
My concern is that the way things look like panning out we would have a suplus of tall backs but a shortage of tall forwards We wouldn't need much to go wrong and we would be struggling for tall options in the forward half
-
I don't really want to lose JH but it seems inevitable now Just wondering what are our forward options next year if Weed doesn't fire or come on like we all hope or worse still he and/or TMac get injured. We used to have Pedo as a back up but that option no longer exists Who's is the next option for tall forward - Joel Smith? - Sam Frost (can't see that working out well) - OMac (don't think he can play fwd personally) - Steven May? - Max (Is this one of the reasons we are chasing Preuss - Harrison Petty (tall enough reads play well - do our FD think he could be reinvented as a fwd like TMac?)
-
I will just sit back and wait for you to tell us exactly what is happening and why - you do seem to know everything
-
So May is more valuable than Hogan ? Personally I don't think so
-
AFC might have been working on the premise that MFC finish in bottom 5 or 6 teams this year - they wouldn't have been the only ones On that basis they would receive last year (10) , this year (1 to say 6) how does that stack up with 5 on a points basis - I honestly don't know but I know which option I'd prefer
-
How does that work - didn't we hand them our first round pick (10) plus our first round this year last time I checked that is two first rounds picks - what am I missing ??
-
What ???? just anyone - you do know that most of them aren't much chop don't you
-
Very glad you are not negotiating on our behalf - that would be ridiculous and totally inconsistent with recent precedents
-
I would mark that down as a major fail if that's what we receive
-
Now your talking - what a character
