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.

    No mention of THornton - word was we had also approached his management.

    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.

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

    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..

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
