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.

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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
