Are on holiday but I hear from a contact that Hogan is loving the direction of the club.

There's a strong rumour that the Trade/Draft Rumour Mill thread has turned into a wishlist thread and there's no actual rumours in it at all ...

Robbo reporting Heath Shaw has decided to play for GWS at about $700,000 a year for 5 years. Silly money from GWS but they have to spend it on someone.

There goes Clark Kents rumour of either us or Geelong - ended up being GWS. More proof of his rubbish.

Beat me to it!

But hey dont say his rumour is rubbish otherwise you will get crucified by his followers..

I was told tonight that Viv wanted to play under roos so was keen to become a Dee.

If people wanna get some good inside sourced rumour this bloke is the one to listen. I remember he inboxed me telling about the mid year deal we offered to Hogan which he turned down politely before it was reported in the media a month ago.

Keep them coming SMC.

And with Adams coming back the other way, that's settled that.

I've said it multiple times over the last few months - Buckley loves Adams and was going to do what it took to get him.

In the end, that dominoes all fell into place fairly simply for that deal to go ahead.

It's also good to see them erode cap so it knocks a little bit more off the war chest available to them to go after Frawley next year.

Got to say Ron, I honestly think GWS don't have a cap. The AFL lets them go for whoever they want and funds them to do so. When it comes to the new franchise success, they use Messendon's motto, 'whatever it takes'.

If they go over the cap to pay Scully, Davis, Mumford and Heath Shaw I wont complain too much. It's more when they have to pay big bucks to keep their young players in a few years when they are winning that i'll be concerned.

did the pies come to some HShaw salary sacrifice or something? in order to help lubricate the adams trade?

Or maybe it was out of Geelong, Collingwood and GWS as reported.

They never up the anit.. that deal was reported about 4 weeks ago.

Mahoney had said on 2 or 3 occasions Shaw was not high on our radar, something he himself indicated. It was always between Geelong and GWS and that's been proven to be correct. Apparently Essendon were also trying hard to land him but missed out. No mention of us. We were never in it in any way.

so he's just made his call then, on the $$$$$, looked over all the offers in the file & gone westsydney... has to be $$$$$, to go over the Cats, unless the cats withdrew? or unless the pies reached further, so they could win Adams away from the Cats.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
