Thank you both for your replies. I would of thought if they traded Neale for 5, then 5 and next years first round for Hogan, then 6 for Lobb and a GWS pick of some description this whole this would be done. It’s almost like they’ve stuffed themselves for both trades now. Note : I’ve been with no reception since this morning so just catching up with the latest. -

Ive clearly missed something, why did Freo trade out pick 6? -

Out of interest have we offered him an extension on his contract? -

1-200 maybe, 4-5 is way too much to overlook. I think if he is after a big payday it has to be this year. If he stays at Melbourne we still have to fit everyone in and if he fails again against stronger opposition then it will/should affect his asking price. If he goes now there’s still some buying into the “potential” line. -

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Bombay Airconditioning replied to DemonLad5's topic in Melbourne Demons
May have already been mentioned, kind of relevant to this thread. Just read on FB Pies are talking to Marcus Adams. -

The funny thing for me is that we still haven’t had any official confirmation, the closest thing we have had was Chook in Perth posting last night (and no disrespect intended because we all appreciate his mail but that didn’t really tell us anything that we weren’t already thinking). Watching the pack mentality change a couple of days ago from the morning “Goody said he’s staying” to the afternoon “where there’s smoke there’s fire”..... I would much rather read posts from people who can think for themselves, think outside the square and don’t continue to run with the company line on every bloody post they make. Whats also funny is the posters who continue to run with the - Hogan’s a gun / a star. - He had a form slump. - It was the midfields fault Or one of my personal favourites.... - Weed’s only played one good game. When these posters were presented with constructive counter arguments and examples of where Hogan’s game was found wanting, quite often there was no response. And they’d have us believe we’re the ones with the problem, we’re not the real supporters. -
Missed it by that much....

Reading this thread there are a lot of posts with “what happens if player X goes down”. There are 18 clubs and not enough talent to fill the lists. Three KPF is a luxury that cannot be held forever. Losing Hogan still leaves us with 2. With regards to injuries, what happens if Ben Brown or Jack Reiwoldt (they’re getting Lynch so not best example) goes down. -

We all knew Freo would come, would like to know if the club has offered Hogan a contract extension. But if the FD has moved on from him after weighing up potential trades with what we would get in return for him, they then set about doing it with as little disturbance as possible, offering him something modest citing keeping the list together, knowing their offer would fall well short of Freo’s. I still believe if we get 2 x first round picks they could be split and packaged up for May and another ready made player. -

He’s played 20 games, he showed a lot rd 22, 23, elimination and semi. -
Jetta May Lever Hibberd Frost Salem Brayshaw Viney Shiel Petracca TMac Melksham Hannan Weed ANB Gawn Oliver Harmes Bench Pruess Fritsch Spargo VDB Changes from the Prelim : Fritsch - Jones Shiel - Lewis Pruess - Tyson May - Oscar Lever - J.Smith I would like to add that I do rate Oscar and think he’s developing nicely and played well this year but someone has to miss. I think it’s time to move on from Jones and Lewis, yes they contributed as various stages throughout the season but 0 tackles from your captain in a losing side says a lot.

That’s a great point, I think he was standing in the race congratulating the players as they came off the ground after the elimination final against Geelong.

Loved his endeavour, loved watching him play. Most definitely got the most out of his himself. Took some massive marks and I’ll never forget that goal from the pocket.

They should have 2 picks after the Neale trade. -

If we were to get picks 4 & 5 (I think that’s what Freo will have) could we not then split them up with other picks/players and land May and a Mid. We need to be creative and go hard. -

What’s this “down on form” garbage, why can’t people say he was beaten on the day by a better opponent or team structure”? Its like “He was in AA form at the half way point of the year” or “he’s a gun” then a few games later “he’s still developing” or “he’s about to peak”, which one is it? The in comment now is “Weed’s only really had the one big game”, we’ll at least he has stood up in big game for us. -

For arguments sake let’s say we are only going to play two key forwards next year. TMac is clearly our no.1 fwd option so let’s compare Hogan to the Weed instead. It’s hard to compare numbers (ie goals scores) when Hogan has played 71 games to the Weed’s 20 so let’s look at key criteria for key forwards. - Contested marking in a 1 on 1 situation - Contested pack marking - Set shots on goal - Ability to perform in big games - Aerobic capacity - Defesive pressure I would have Hogan ahead of the the Weed in 2 of those categories, contested marking 1 on 1 and aerobic capacity. In another year or two the Weed will have developed his body more and be able to hold his own more. How goid will the Weed be with another 50 games behind him. With regards to shots on goal I didn’t bother looking at goals - behinds ratio because unless Hogan is near directly in front he looks to pass it off. I understand we have a team rule that at times players always look to pass to someone in a better position. Key forwards at crucial times in games need to be able to go back and earn their money. His set shot routine needs work and he’s joined the list of players who snap the ball around their body when 15 metres out on a slight angle. This was started by Stevie J but continued by players who lack confidence. Rd 23 v GWS Weed slotted one straight through the middle from deep in the pocket. And as I and others have stated many times for all of the goals people keep telling us he’s kicked they fail to mention how he continues to go missing in big games, it’s no longer a one off but a trend. As for the recent Goodwin statement that Jesse loves Melbourne and is a required player, that comes with the “but we’re only going to offer him this much because” - Rd 22 through to the semi we played better without him. Same as last year against Adelaide and the Eagles, there is definitely something to this. - He still has areas of his game he needs to work - He no longer has us over a barrel with Weiderman coming along nicely. - With a lot of our players finding form we have to fit them all in Calls for him to play down back are a cop out, we still need quality mids, use the picks to booster that area. Although we got shown up by West Coast, our 4 weeks prior to that was good enough to beat most other teams.
