Goddard to announce as early as Tuesday he is going to Essendon

That would be good news to free up the whole process and if Cloke signs with Colingwood soon as predicted that would be helpful too. Deals get constipated waiting for "the big one" to play out. That may well be Tippett.

Due to to some nice, decent & non "tall poppy" syndrome sufferers wanting some information, I have decided to lift my permanent absence for one last time & share some information that I happen to come across through my work.

...

For those who enjoy just knowing & understanding its all just talk & to make even simple trades happen can be tough.. ENJOY!!!

My biggest concern is that I have never heard or seen half of these players play before.

Anyone can give a summary about them?

Let's hope they all have been in contact with Luke Hodge then.

Thanks Nudge for the information crossing your desk. The Butcher/Caddy super deal is a real doozy. Sounds complex. Wait and see.

Interesting times. To be honest there are some names there that I would be very happy to see in the red and blue.

Very interesting, what's better is that the players we are targetting are all a far sight better than our previous generation of recruits.

John Butcher is contracted and if Port Adelaide was willing to let him go then that asks more questions than it answers.

What is the extent of his hip issues?

..... can't believe I'm doing this, I have done it once before when I was told by a good mate who has tie in's with Strauss that Joel Mac was getting delisted last year, that went well.

This one is too good not to "share":

Just spoke to a client who has a staff member who is 100% Goddard will be at MFC. Staff member was in Traralgon recently to watch a local footy GF I believe and spoke to Goddard's Mum who said he was going to be a Dee.. Take it how you will.

Contrasts nicely with the info I got yesterday from someone close to the Bombers, that he will be a Bomber next week.

yeah, even that in itself suggests we are really starting to get fair dinkum.

We're fishing. Unlikely to get them all, but you have to put your lines in.:)

Cards was referring to Brendan's lesser known brother Ted, who will be our new boot studder.

Thanks Nudge! Love your work.

perhaps his old lady gets blue & red confused with black and red!

Awesome rumour though

Just thought id report now that we are chasing Levi Casboult from carlton. Have made inqiuries to his manager.

The John Butcher debate is starting to warm up which could involve a massive super trade that could land john butcher at the dees.

And Tom Young of collingwood has apperently been delisted. Not a bad player either just couldn't break into the strong collingwood lineup.

We need decent bait though 'bub ............. an area where we might struggle if the required lure is more than just $s..

No Chance Cards13. As much as i would like him in a red and blue jumper he is basically a bomber now.

Could this be the 2012 version of the Mitch Clark coup? Gone for all money to Freo & then BAM we swoop!

Casboult would be a good pick-up if we could snare him. Might be a better (or at least safer) option to Butcher given Butcher's history of injuries.

We can all dream, but adding Goddard, Cloke we really should have the cap for both parties. Then picks 3-4-13-Viney would make us a complete team imo or very close too in a very short time

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
