pardon my ignorance... is he an outside or inside mid thanks

The more I think on it the more I am convinced that GCS are desperate to offload May. They are a club that reeks of instability and they cannot afford another year where the story is all about their ex captain leaving. They have had two years of that with Ablett and then Lynch. Plenty of time for this to play out.

and why would any club offer better than pick 11 knowing they get him next year for nothing. The argument runs both ways

Demonland keeps landing the big fish An incredible compliment to the wonderful people that run this site Well done

great post ? certainly not dominant around the ground 9 contested marks out of 16 games doesn't say much either. Hit outs are consistent around 20 per game but he must struggle against the Pies..11 and 8 He didn't play against Casey which is unfortunate for comparison purposes

think they all may have played slightly above their demonstrated form that day

You may be right but I think in a straight comparison between what Hogan and May offer in 2019 my preference is Hogan. Happy to trade for value but I just don't see value.

ask yourself would you trade a seven pick upgrade or thereabouts for a player who has been deemed by the bottom club to be surplus to requirements. You can't attribute full value to May anyway given he's available for free next year

one would need to be desperate to pay pick 5 for May... he comes free next year

it's a pick and May which is the deal. The question is what is the pick we are left with. If it's 12 etc then meh... it it's 5 or 6 then good outcome. I'm tending towards the 12 as the left over simply because we are trading into a one team (Freo) scenario whereas GC are trading into a multiple buyer market plus the FA temptation for next year

AVB for a pick in the 20's ... sounds like the old jousting sticks

Definitely no one will give them pick 1-4 for May which is what they get as compo next year. Remember also that the recipient club pays nothing in the form of draft picks next year. It's just a quirk of the system. On the other hand they have a disaffected captain who they don't want hanging around the club. Their choice

that cost me 5 minutes of my life: http://purplewasher.blogspot.com/2009/08/test.html

Tasting Notes by Billy A Nose: Sweet, rich and spicy fruit, with sugared lemons and limes, granny smith apples, honey and caramel. Palate: Toffee sweetness, apples, a hint of vanilla and a rich dark fruit background. Water lightens things with more orchard fruit, but without diminishing the richness of the dark fruit hiding underneath. Finish: Dusty wood, raisins and sweet fruit leaves Comments: A solid sherried whisky sitting at the bottom of the Glendronach range but punching above well above its price-point. speechless by that florid description

Must say with Kent leaving and Bugg being delisted plus Weid moving up, the VFL side from a forward perspective is looking light on

must say I have not rated them but with Daniher back they should challenge for the 8 but no more

So now with Lycett gone is Vardy the Eagle's back up ruckman to Natanui ?

Bradman's highest test score was 452

some good logic there but GCS seem to be sick of May and remember although GCS get a low pick next year the recipient club pay nothing as well. So it's not quite the same. Well argued though

his rumoured salary offer is $1M+ so he's definitely not a B grader https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-trade-whispers-carltons-1mplus-a-year-offer-for-dylan-shiel-may-push-rory-lobb-out-gold-coasts-offer-for-jake-lloyd/news-story/97a70d232862422c9b13f83362b932f7?nk=34fd14988ab099a0a18aab69e413ab5d-1539055136 It's a bit like us and Hogan.. GWS bat deep in the midfield area where by good luck we have 3 KPF's

midfielders are where the gold is these days Richmond and Dog's success has seemingly dulled the need for KPF's. Another reason perhaps for keeping Hogan for 2019 if we don't get what we want as the fashion could change again with the WCE victory

it could be played AFLX style Couldn't be worse than the usual pre match entertainment

do you know what pick and approx money?

Tyson's worth a mid second rounder so perhaps that's fair Heard on the Tyson thread that Tyson has said no to GC

if 14 gets us May it's a deal. It probably won't so that's where life becomes interesting PS.. sorry where did Freo get pick 6 from?
