Demoneyes 562 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I have spoken to people with more clout than coterie members. I'm not saying we won't keep pick 2 and I'm not saying Dylan Shiel won't necessarily come to the Dees. But I know the club is looking at other avenues and has offered pick 2 directly for another player which hasn't been resolved yet and the player hasn't been mentioned in dispatches anywhere. Now Im not going to say who the player is because Im not going to betray the source of my information - and the likehlihood of his club letting him go is extremely remote, in any case - am merely saying that your contention of it being Shiel or the pick kept is 100% incorrect! For your info this particular coterie member has put quite a few dollars into the club. We shall see what unfolds!
jabberwocky 2,301 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Fascinating period. Watching the MFC manage the media, feeding out tidbits whilst plugging the internal leaks. It almost feels like a professional football club.

In many respects the Demons that front the world will have only a passing resemblance to that which we were a year or so ago. Had to happen or we perished. just as carlton is morphing into Collingwood we're evolving into a real football club with a real football team. have to go lay down again....its all too much !!!

How would divulging the name of the player be a betrayal of your source? If you were to come on here and say, "I have heard a rumour that X player has been approached", that is no different to any other rumour on this site - you are an anonymous poster, your "source" is unnamed and no-one is any the wiser. Do these people you have spoken to know that you go onto Demonland using the moniker "goodoil"? Somehow I doubt it.

Arrow 1,257 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Think some posters need to recall the respect board. Clark Kent has posted on a rumour board the rumours he's heard. If you don't like them, it's great because fair chance they won't be true but saying don't post them as you look like an idiot doesn't promote others to come forward with their rumours. We're all fighting the same battle here let's be a little more grateful, even if the resulting post isn't what you want to hear.
IvanBartul13 2,564 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 For your info this particular coterie member has put quite a few dollars into the club. We shall see what unfolds! I'm sure he or she is wonderful contributor and as I said, us keeping pick 2 and or receiving Shiel are possible scenarios. Logic will tell you that with two weeks of trade period left, the club won't have shut the door to other possibilities, irrespective of any info I have.

Do these people you have spoken to know that you go onto Demonland using the moniker "goodoil"? Somehow I doubt it. Well, the information would be the genesis of new threads and substantial conjecture and as I'm a Melbourne supporter it would be pretty easy to guess that I've either told someone or come on here, given it isn't mentioned here. Aside from that I promised not to mention the player's name. I merely mentioned the info as a counter to the info that it is either Shiel or pick 2. The club has other irons in the fire re pick 2. I don't think we will get there player anyway. Similar to Shiel, I don't think his club will let him go whilst contracted, even if he wants to move.
DoreenDee 59 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Well Shane Savage is off the table now. Off to St Kilda for him and pick 17, Hawthorn gets McEvoy in return.
titan_uranus 25,252 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Kane Lucas/ Josh Bootsma/ Brad Sheppard - One of those players will be traded for a 3rd pick. Bring on Sheppard, hes a gun. Lucas and Bootsma are terrible footballers. I wouldn't take them even if they were free.
GawnWithTheWind 604 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Well Shane Savage is off the table now. Off to St Kilda for him and pick 17, Hawthorn gets McEvoy in return. Thanks Sandra. CAN THE DEES GET INVOLVED PLEASE... IM BORED!
DoreenDee 59 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks Sandra. CAN THE DEES GET INVOLVED PLEASE... IM BORED! Didn't see it posted anywhere on this board but thanks for letting us all know you're a dick
Demon Jack 7,194 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks Sandra. CAN THE DEES GET INVOLVED PLEASE... IM BORED! Agreed, not much happening at school at the moment. Need some melbourne trade news.
nutbean 8,838 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 This link is from an article in the Sun, http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-coach-paul-roos-says-clubs-could-start-trading-their-stars-early/story-fni5f91a-1226735616834 Roos makes a couple of very interesting points. With lousy compensation for free agents clubs will trade players in the last year of their contract if they don't want to extend their existing contract. Is that a message to any of our players in this position? The article then goes on to quash any thoughts of Rockliff being recruited, saying "Roos adamant Melbourne will part with selection two for a young midfielder. The Demons have inquired about Brisbane’s Tom Rockliff who has declined their offer, with West Coast’s Luke Shuey also not available despite overtures". Fairly definitive statement IMO "I won't be coaching next year" - Paul Roos - also fairly definitive
GawnWithTheWind 604 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Didn't see it posted anywhere on this board but thanks for letting us all know you're a [censored] Easy now.. Don't get your knickers all tied up
DoreenDee 59 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Agreed, not much happening at school at the moment. Need some melbourne trade news. Ahh I see now
GawnWithTheWind 604 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Ahh I see now You missed the point again...
beelzebub 23,392 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Because we see or hear little reflects more about the seive being sealed more than any lack of behind the scenes movements etc.
olisik 4,060 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Agreed, not much happening at school at the moment. Need some melbourne trade news. Think DL are missing Mark Neeld and his aggresive off seasons right about now.
Machsy 2,858 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 For your info this particular coterie member has put quite a few dollars into the club. We shall see what unfolds! Fascinating. Tell me moreeeeeeeeeeeeee...................... ..... ...
PJ_12345 1,098 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Is this right: The Hawks now have pick 19 (Franklin compo), pick 34, 52 (+ a couple of late rounds) left for the draft and have gained McEvoy but have lost Franklin and got rid of Savage and pick 17?
Demon3 2,541 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I have a contact at Melbourne, believe it or not.. ( i know some people are skeptical on sources) and am told that the jamar stuff is not true, he did not deny thatif a great trrade was offered they would look at it, but at this stage its not true.
DoreenDee 59 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Agreed, not much happening at school at the moment. Need some melbourne trade news.
Arrow 1,257 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Fascinating. Tell me moreeeeeeeeeeeeee...................... ..... ... Don't bother. Just because you put a whole lot of dollars into the club, doesn't mean [censored] for how much news you know about the clubs trading plans. If MFC are telling each and every well funded member our plans than the club is stupider than I thought. Demoneyes is thoroughly enjoying people caring about what he is saying, but after 50 rumours followed up by this is who I know and why you should believe me I gave up caring a week ago.
Machsy 2,858 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 That was my sarcastic point. Clint talks a lot of nothing. I couldn't care less what he has to say.
