What's wrong, you dissapointed that there is no mention of Cameron Cloke

"I would never EVER even dream of wanting to recruit Cameron Cloke! Lol, jk, I'm E25."

You mis-quoted me.

Thanks wise, but I'm just a bit bored.

As they say, no such thing as bored, just boring people!

And you're one of them.

Ow, that hurts. Bloke starts a thread with what he knows through his job which, at this time of the year, is all there is to talk about football wise and you rubbish it. Jealous you didn't start it? Or you simply have nothing decent to add? I'm going for the latter.

great post nudge keep us informed


I think that we are in a win - win with Warnock. He is a good player to keep on the list, and if we are playing hard ball, then it seems like we will only give him up for something good. Happy if that is the situation.

Thanks for some good reading "Nudge" keep it up

interesting there is some1 on big Footy who says they hear trade talk at there job aswell.

He says we are right into David Hale and interestingly says Sherman will either go to Richmond or Melbourne, go on and have a look he gives info on all 16 clubs.

Here are a few pieces of scuttlebutt hovering around Demons.

Please remember that 98% of mentioned deals do NOT eventuate, but a fact is that over 25 deals a team get proposed through this period. it is best to try and limit the ones posted to those that seem to have some momentum and generally more than one source.

If you don't like what you hear, relax, it most likely will not happen. I'm reporting what I am lucky to hear through my job with my news publication with three sports management offices also in the building.

I post them not becuse I think they are going to happen, but simply I have heard them mentioned directly from numerous people. Most importantly, I post them because its interesting to know and as Demon fans you deserve to know and enjoy the mystery/intruige of it all! 

Here you are:

- Warnock highly sought, Demons playing hardball (some feel to simply increase value, some think we genuinely will not trade). Proposed offers from Carlton (Setanta, Fisher & Grigg mentioned), Hawks (Muston, Dowler, picks), Dogs (Hill, Everitt). Saints also believed to be keen. 

- Jones close to a deal, Bombers still hunting as are GC. Houli a mentioned possibility if he leaves. Also murmours of a swap with Stanton. Most likely to re-sign.

- Kyle Cheney being shopped around. 

- Clayton Hinkley likely to be a Demon. Trade for a pick appears most likely at this stage.

- David Hale now appears most likely to be part of Jacobs/Walker trade. Latest word is Demons may give Warnock away as part of the deal (Carlton)

- Jesse White a priority, Swans playing hard ball. Very unlikely!

- Taylor Walker being shopped by Crows, demons baulking at asking price. Appears dead in water.

- Ben McKinley looking likely to land at either Demons or Tigers. Will depend on Walker/Hale.

- Andrejs Everitt high on radar if cheap.

- David Armitage has spoken with 4 clubs, Dees one.

- Cam Bruce still very much in limbo

- Alwyn Davey has reportedly requested trade to Demons. Hird appointment may change this though. Also with Stanton.

- Addam Maric has requested a trade. Possible swap for Davey

- Delisted Roo Josh Smith likely to do pre-season with Demons. Possible Rookie.

Thats about all I have heard. Only ones that are looking more than just minor discussions ar this stage are Hale, Maric, Davey & Warnock. As They are coming up in numerous peoples info.

Ensure your salt grains are handy, Trade week is sheer craziness people. 

Try to remember that.

Great stuff Nudge...

If nothing else, certainly some food for thought and the possibles mentioned all have different merits depending on what we give up.

We are in a good positions, there are a few players with Warnock prime as a full back, that clubs are looking at but we don't REALLY have to go to hard yet.

It's a good position as we have a little upper hand.


Maric for Davey would be tempting... I would just love to see what the brothers could come up with having all those years growing up playing footy with each other. Could bring the best out of Alwyn. I'd be up for it

could u put up a link on the page jamoose? cheers

Cam Bruce is definitely on his way out it seems.


Aaah Nudge. Where do you go during mid-year?

How so?

thanks

Those that know me would realise that I'm reasonably conservative with my offerings.

I can't say that this is 100%, but I've heard this afternoon that Nathan Jones has decided to go to the GC.

I'm led to believe that Nathan went to school at Peninsula Grammar and I've heard from an excellent source via that school that Jones is leaving.

Don't shoot me if it turns out to be wrong.

If true,, I'm both saddened & excited by the possibilities.. Saddened because Jones'y is just one you can't help but respect & love. But also I see his future as limited with us & we must get every move right, so we have to be a little selfish in our one way quest to build this club into a premiership Unit. That means there will be pain associated with this rebuild.

Just curious, if Jones does leave, what would our compo be?

I presume it would be a pick after the first round, like Brown, Bock n Habrow.

I remember hearing that if the player was drafted in the last 4 years, their draft pick (pick 12 in Jones' case) would be taken into consideration. Does Jones qualify for this? If so could we get a first rounder?

i enjoy reading the bulk of your posts, consider him gone

 

I don't love the idea of Justin Sherman. Seems like a wannabe Colin Sylvia. When he's good he's good but fades out of games way too much and rates himself far too highly as well. Also think he'd want abit too much. I guess at the right price though probably worthwhile

I'd any Maric take Davey day over.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
