Only the Sydney 7 mil 5 year crack. I reckon freo will have a crack before he signs anywhere. They should have a fair but of cash,

Now this is off a post from a facebook friend (Saints supporter)

Apparently the Giants have pulled out of the race for Buddy?

Anyone else hear anything?

Have heard its on facebook. Anyone see reference to it?

Many are complimentary if you care to go through them... unfortunately you did your dash with Saturday evenings boredom induced "rampage".

Ever give anyone a second chance? I don't suppose you have ever done anything in your life a bit over the top asfter several bevvies?

Rumours are one thing... riding on the back of others' rumours and claiming credit is another.

I claim credit that I tipped you were going to say that ( or so it was rumoured !)

If he goes to Sydney, GWS would surely take Boyd with #1.

This devalues our #2 doesn't it? Since the previous speculation was if they got Buddy, they may skip Boyd at #1?

Devalues it in the sense that GWS won't be as keen to trade their pick and hold on to it. SOS was saying yesterday how keen they were to trade it, but that would on the back of the belief they had Buddy int he bag. Our pick still holds plenty of currency though.

If they got Buddy they probably would have traded pick 1 so our pick 2 was never gonna get Boyd anyway.

Not sure what we are doing at the moment in trades. None of the Brissy boys have chatted to us. Adams hasnt. Ellis hasnt. Looks like the only one who wants a chat is Shaw =(

I was thinking exactly the same thing....

I'm getting extremelly nervous I have to admit. I just keep telling myself "have faith in Roos!"

The AFL will be mortified if Buddy does not end up at GWS. They desperately need him there to help GWS get some traction. One assumes he won't be getting any money from the AFL to be an ambassador.

Kudos to Sydney if true but bad for the competition. It is in all clubs interests, especially clubs like MFC and Dogs, that GWS is a success and start winning some games.

deal is done. buddy to the swans as a free agent.

their ability to get deals done is extraordinary.

they're going to trade white and mumford and end up with at least two picks in the first round as well.

Wow

That truly is impressive by the Swans if that happens......

and by two picks i mean their pick and another.

barrett's theory is that hawks offer to match the deal, and then engage in trading - swap mummy and swans' 1st rounder for buddy and something else, presumably.

i'd tell hawks they could keep him then if i was sydney, cos you'd want to trade mumford as per yr wishes rather than be forced to trade him to the swans.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
