I think we have a new addittion to the "I know somebody, who's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former room-mate knows someone high up at the club" group.

Another inept poster who completely misses the point - kudos to all those who had a real laugh at the post and took it with a grain of salt, something that poor old Before2Long can't comprehend. instead of maligning the name of a Paul Kelly classic as your username, why not use one from the Wiggles that best describes your standing, 'Wake Up Jeff!'

IT'S ONLY A RUMOUR!!!!!!!!!

Ease up now Jumbo, I don't mean to be personally attacking you, something you seem quite comfortable doing to me.

All I have done is kept record of those who have in one way or another attempted to validate the rumour at least in some part to be something resembling the truth, and I do so with tongue in cheek.

I actually love these kinds of rumours like this gem you have supplied, it allows me to drift into a fantasy world where Judd, Kerr and J Brown play for us, where we have all the supporters and money we could ever ask for, where essendon plays their home games in Canberra to cover their losses....

I guess I just thought there needed to be some accountability for rumours such as these, hence the list. One that I will bump in a few months time (if I remember) or when the $20mil cheque clears (though I am sure you'll beat me to it).

Which makes me think...

If you were confident in the rumour's authenticity you would be quite content to see this list being made, but seeing as you've gone and got all defensive about it I guess it means you know that it is a load of B/S.

Ahh well, nice to dream anyway.

Ok no problem.

PS I'm technically inept so I have no idea how to bump it to the top if it comes to fruition.

however it was just Aussie's old man

My thoughts too, while still not believing the rumour ;)

I think any sponsorship/donations will be announced on the 10th during the Debt Demolition Campaign. If there was a large donation in the wings it would blow away any other possible contributions and so it wouldn't be the first announced, not that it is likely to be true anyway of course

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
