    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.

    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...

    I watched Tom Curran play for Wesley vs Carey the day I went to see young Jack Viney have a hit out....Wesley won by 100+pts and Curran kicked at least 8 goals....was simply massive compared to the defence....looked ok to me

    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??

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
