Star Melbourne recruit Steven May says he didn’t want to follow former Gold Coast teammate Tom Lynch and have a year of speculation about his future.
The AFL’s 2018 trade period has come and gone in the blink of an eye and the Melbourne Football Club has found itself at the forefront of the action.
Fremantle, the AFL club in the midst of delicately-placed trade negotiations on several fronts, have been warned about the dangers of getting “too cute” as they pursue Jesse Hogan and Rory Lobb.
The coming AFL free agency and trade period may yet deliver the Fremantle Football Club the key forward it has yearned for since Matthew Pavlich’s retirement in 2016.
