Not that one. The guy that oversees total football operations

left vacant by Leoncelli

That's the way I read it anyway.

I really doubt that.

The position left vacant by Leoncelli, as mentioned, is a board position that Garry is standing in.

The Director of Football is usually reserved for former players and with good reason - having a non-loyal Demon in a position on the board with an ear to all facets of the club would be dangerous.

I think the position you have caught wind of would be in the FD, hopefully as head of the FD.

Get some tiger balm on our nuts, get us moving again...

Yes ... a board member regardless of type, not just of our club but any club ... must be dyed in the wool for that club.

I know this is ridiculous, but this is a rumours thread..........:....

My neanderthal Essendon supporting mates keep telling me Neeld is looking to trade Moloney and that Beamer has met with James Hird at his house about a possible move.

I just laugh at it, but they are adamant and it keeps coming up.

What are your informants saying we're getting in return?

Let me guess ... Leroy Jetta and a fourth round pick?

No details to that end.

Just that Beamer has been meeting with Hird at his house and that the clubs are talking about a trade.

No details beyond that........... probably because of their limited imagination.

I heard that Michael Hurley is moving to GWS for alot of money....

Cant reveal my source but yeah James Hird doesnt feel like he needs his best player anymore,

So guess its happening

It was, but i was also showing that thats the amount of credibility your friends have and how simple it is to make that crap up

I think we're all already aware of that.

Nonetheless, it was a rumour rather than just an attempt to wind me up - they are genuinely excited at the prospect.

Just sharing what I've heard... as seems to be the entire point of this thread.

Was never an attempt to wind you up Lutz, but definitely to wind your mates up, or a poor attempt at doing so

was just trying to show you how little it all meant, as you may have been taking something out of their comments

Although rumours started as soon as Scully's stopped about Hurley to GWS, i obviously no little about it

btw your mates sound alot like Essendon supporting mates i know...

Rumor from BigFooty

"Melbourne thinking about using all first round picks (including compo) to make a play for Jaeger and Dangerfield. They feel that Craig could help get the deal done."

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=874854&page=65

Most likely bullcrap, interesting either way with Damian Barrett mentioning salary cap room.

I can really see both happening.

Dangerfield wants to come home to VIC. And is a big fan of Craig! Has stated before his future will be influenced by whether the Crows keep Craig or not. Craig has for one chosen the MFC over opposition clubs. Including Carlton. For this reason Dangerfield will be a Demon. Pick 12 & a player.

The Dee's will use both compo picks on a player like O'meara in a heart beat. We want the best! And we are out to get it done... We are no longer the club players put a line through. First class facilities, coaches, fitness staff and calling the G home is a huge draw card for players. The Melbourne FC will be world class! Both Scully compo picks & a player ready to go. Warnock, Bate, Maric, Morton etc. GWS wont want to put all there draft picks into one season. Dealing with the Dee's give's them flexibilty to draft or trade again in there 2nd year. More advantageous than GC pick 4. Dee's will make sure this deal gets done! O'meara & Viney ready to go in 2013.

I love the tone and optimism of this post, but do you think it'll really happen? Is Dangerfield that besotted with Craig? Won't he hang around to see how the new coach works out?

Pick 12 + Warnock??

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
