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?

sounds simple but the low pick is there next year as well. The icing needs to be good to give up a player for a year while we are in the infamous premiership window. The only reason it might make sense is those who say we NEED may for our defence. I'm not sold on that idea.

wish it was... it's just under 4 hours.. (3hrs 45 mins)

don't joke.... the media are already talking them up as you have posted.. 8 Friday night games on the way Conveniently forget that 6 weeks ago they were asking for compensation picks because they were such poor performers.

OD, email is far too formal for the current crop as you call them ?
