The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Recommended Posts

But if you know people its surprisingly easy to get an inside source. My cousin's girlfriend happened to know Matty bate, I play at a golf club where a few people are members and associates of the club (I'll leave it at that) and I got in an argument on Facebook that turned out to be with the best mate of a listed player which was proven via photos.

We all come on here looking for good info, as we're desperate for hope and to improve our club.

I have little doubt that the "info" posted is utter garbage, even if well intended. I'll keep reading, as it's that time of year.

I don't mind the posters like Norm Smith above who at least put their rumours out there that they've heard without trying to argue they are correct or going to happen. I much rather that than those who swear black and blue something is true only for it to not get close to happening.

The best thing that can happen to MelbourneFC is that James Aish plays best on ground in the SANFL GF this weekend, there by upping his value. Aish was the youngest EVER player to debut in the SANFL at just 16, won the Premiership last year with Norwood and is headed for back to back this year. I am not concerned by his light frame. He has played fantastic football at a senior level for 2 seasons. If he can dominate at the senior level skinny, imagine how he will go when he puts on some mussel. Just so we are all clear, he is talked as the best player to come out of SA in a generation, a one in 1000 player, and is well in front of Gibbs at the same age.

I would be disappointing to let Aish go, it will have to be one hell of a good deal for us. Swallow maybe? Whatever the case we will be trading out a potential superstar and this must come with serious currency. If this does not come forth we should stick with Aish.

Looking forward to watching him on the weekend!

For this reason we should not forget about Dangerfield.

He's my smokey in all of this.

Funny you say that as my friend who said Patton to the Dogs for pick 4 is now saying he had it wrong - supposed to be Patton to Saints in return for montagna and fisher.

This time of year no one seems to know, including myself!

I find it impossible to believe Rockcliff is on the market.

He is contracted and there is not a pray in heaven chance the Lions would want to do anything but keep him.

My Little Bro ( Bris fanatic )laughed for five minutes when I mentioned the rumours.

I thought I heard on SEN or 3AW that Melbourne had been in discussion with an Essendon player. It may have been North Melbourne but I'm pretty sure they said Melbourne. Anyone hear that rumour? If so who was the player?

No apparently it was Melbourne and reports were a Essendon player was on his way to the dees but i dont know who?? I got this info from Bigfooty

Awfully decent of you BH. Just when I don't think you can give any more to others, you go that extra step.

Ask any educated Dockers fan their opinion on Cameron Schwab and his impact on their club and you won't get a pretty response.

What he did to them has been posted on here before. The guy is straight up club cancer.

Any educated footy fan who is willing to do their research can easily come to this realisation.

But let him have his ego fluffed by some, because i am sure he is despised by so many more.

oxymoron

With the saints just signing that big John Holmes I hope Roosy is on to it aswell. Could you imagine if we unearth another Mike Pyke :D

I thought that Big John Holmes - I presume you are referring to the American 1980s porn star - succumbed to AIDS long ago

Roos is going to trade pick 2 for some B grader and win a total of 10 games over his 2 years. Walk away and leave is with a middle of the road list and without a great prospect that we could've got with pick 2. That's my worry.

Viney and Jason Taylor better exert their will on these decisions and Mahoney better stick to administrating and leave the decisions to the big boys.

I just love your optimism, master.

Surely the only Essendon player who anyone could be interested in is the one who is needlophobic, Zaharakis . All others must at least have some ASADA cloud hovering over them.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
