May could easily be the difference between another prelim and a grand final or even flag. It’s one last really big weakness

And dean Kent

Very happy with this news

Totally agree and he’s still contracted and the dockers want him desperately. If they are willing to offer him 1.2 mil a year they will have a hard time explaining why they shouldn’t cough up #5 & #6 for him and both parties walk away with what they want

If may is indeed coming on board, it seems likely one of frost or Oscar may assess their options outside of the club given they will find themselves at Casey for a lot of the season

Carlton is probably his only chance. Maybe freo if they lose Neale

I think the only reason he hasn’t re-signed with the eagles is the stupid $$ on offer. I don’t know if it would be easy for us to get into this conversation without matching or going close.

We have to use one every few years I believe so if we get one for this year we can potentially trade it

I feel like you’re over valuing Tyson a little there. I suspect Tyson might be worth about that pick 35 mark. So really it’s 33,35 -24,25 though Tyson and our 2019 first round pick for those two might be more fair assuming it’s pick 15-18

I agree and they have put it out there they don’t want the will he won’t be circus next year. I personally think a pick around 9-10 for may would be a good outcome

If they finish last the compo pick might be pick 2..

I don’t think we should be waiting around for freo to make a trade with port. We should do that ourselves. Set the price 5&6 if they want him pay up otherwise keep him for another year. Freo are desperate for anything to sell their members and they will cave hogan is exactly what they need to sell hope and avoid slipping into long term irrelevance. if we do this we could make the trade with port and get steven May into the club as well as 2 top 10 picks to on trade or take to the draft.

The only way this happens is if the trade requirements that the MFC have put on the table, and freo have In principal agreed to are not met by the dockers. This has been going on a while

Agreed. I think we can carry one of Oscar or frost, not both, and if we could get someone else as well that’s a bonus

Agreed. I’d take cerra and a pick for hogan in a heart beat.

Sorry mate Kolodjashnij. It’s definitely sad to see him go but I was also told very reliably no senior member at the club didn’t think this was a serious possibility. So plans are in place

Reliably told Jesse has A. Formally asked to be traded to Fremantle. B. The dockers have agreed in principal to 2 first round picks this year for hogan will be either 6 &10 or 9&10 and an exchange of later picks. Some haggling to go on there. Steven may looking all but certain to join in exchange for one of those picks. I suspect kk will be involved in that deal. apologies if this news is already known, I haven’t been able to keep track on this thread.

Gotta do what’s best for his family as sad as it would be to see him go!

The other thing I like about him, and hasn’t been mentioned as much is he’s quite tall and good above his head, he has the potential to be a very good player and in my opinion has been poorly developed and mis managed

Freo have offered stupid money. Move heard, but I’m not sure if I believe Jesse wasn’t happy with how we’ve treated his foot injury

Like gus very talented but had a string of concussions. Huge potential value if we can get him right

Might tempt the giants about kelly If they are nervous about him leaving.

Yeah it does a bit but I do kind of see the logic, though I suspect if we drafted kelly we might have been playing this weekend. As good as Salem has been. I do wonder if the blues could be tempted into a trade say pick 5 and Tyson for pick 1 or some sort of variation of that to help us get Walsh in the door. The kid is fantastic! Would definitely soften the blow of losing Jesse if we could do that

Yep I think that’s a good plan! Pick 10 I think is also a fair deal for may. So head to the draft with a couple of top end picks and get in may! Or even package up 5,9 and chase another good player

5 & 6 or he stays... I bet you they will give both up. They’re that desperate
