The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

 

Jetta??? Noooooo!!!!

Jumbo you honestly dont believe him when he says we are chasing jetta....

 

Come on, keep posting, it's fun.....work tomorrow, so this is excellent pre grumpy Monday stuff.

Mr CK, tell me DD36 is right and Jetta won't come to the club? Pleeezzz??

Funnily enough the thread is called Trade/Draft rumours, CK has heard something and passed it on as rumour,for that I thank him as it gives us all something to debate.

Don't care who his sources are and don't care if none are right.

When he posts it in a thread called "This is what is 100% happening and this is my source's name to back it up" then I may question whether it's from an impeccable source.

As it is a rumour thread I don't demand this and would really wonder why anyone would, treat it for what it is, a rumour.

To all who have posted something they have heard no matter the source, thanks from someone with no contacts within the club.

Don't be surprised if we pick up Leroy Jetta for a 5th round pick.

Believe what you want.

Hey! What happened to all the conflict stuff?

Fair dinkum, if we draft Jetta, I'm going to burn my membership, scarf, stickers and the neighbour's house down!

Source told me the following:

Vince for Pick 21 & 4th Rounder

Melbourne officials are meeting up with Heath Shaw this week. If Shaw doesn't go to Geelong, he'll be a Dee.

Apparently were keen on Blair and Eilliot.

Lyons seriously thinking about coming to the Dees.

Essendon want picks. We are keen for Leroy Jetta for a 5th round pick.

Greenwood, Mitchie and Mellington all likely to be Demons. 3 way trade between us, Freo and North. Adelaide are heavily into Greenwood though.

If we get Shaw, Vince and Jetta, Apparently Roosy thinks we can win about 8-10 games next year.

Roos is aiming for 8 wins next season.

In other team news:

Riewoldt could walk out of St Kilda tomorrow. Has a meeting with them tomorrow, apparently not happy with the direction of the club. If he leaves.

Trade is brewing. Pick 10, Q.Lynch and 3rd pick for Nick Riewoldt.

Montagna done deal to Essendon.

my contact confirms that Levi greenwood is definitely looking like a likely trade.

Well when you look at all of his posts, MrCK has had so many players rumoured to be coming our way that he eventually has to get one right... it's kind of like betting on all 24 runners in the Melbourne Cup and then afterwards boasting to everyone that you picked the winner.

That's rubbish, they won't even use a fifth round pick.

Agree keep posting them it's a rumor thread people !!!

There's a bit of a difference between hearing rumours and posting them and pure invention in order to make a post.

So who is source again...

Well what a [censored] then.

Seriously mate??? Good on him for sharing on this rumour page.

How many pages do I need to go back to find that posted rumour by you sourced from a facebook page?

It's just good fun to read one way or another.

Just out of curiosity, who thinks Scully would be worth trading for pick 2 if he was available?

Hmmn, trade him in for P2, get him right, & then trade him out again for 2 more picks. > Gaff & Shuey should just about settle it. $culldog should go well in perth.

Mr Clark Kent = Nudge = Chilliboy

Nothing surer.

If that's a fact, it doesn't belong on a rumour thread!


Mr Clark Kent = Nudge = Chilliboy

Nothing surer.

I think it's been a while since you read a Nudge / chilliboy thread, because his posts are a class above the CK rubbish.

Essendon are out of the 1st & 2nd round of the draft... so are stocking up on 5th round picks?

If you're going to manufacture rumours, at least put some effort and intelligence into them.

Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to give Adelaide a chance to get back in the draft with 2 for Sloan. Being locked out of the draft is bad medicine.

I don't get this.

Adelaide have a gun 23 year old who just won their b&f and will most likely be good for another 7-8 years and people think that Adelaide missing out on draft selections for a couple of years is going to be oh so detrimental.

Recruiting has changed drastically over the last decade and with the advent of free agency and more research going into state leagues than ever before, I can't see how clubs are going to be affected as much as Carlton were for many years due to cap rorting.

Our pick 2 will not secure a player like Sloan.

Yeah and also used to sook and disappear after being challenged or criticised whereas old mate just keeps coming back for more.

Sloane fits the bill. No one on here seems to be able to spell his name correctly so he's passed the first Demonland test. Seriously though, there appears no way Pick 2 and Adelaide will be associated together. The only players Adelaide have of that quality are Dangerfield, Sloane or Crouch. Adelaide won't trade those three. I can't see a combination of other midfielders capable of netting pick 2. Our dealings with Adelaide are all about them getting a pick from us that will satisfy Brisbane in the Polec deal. End story. Lyons might be linked to the Vince deal or it could be separate.

Top post - thanks.

I hope we land Cross as well.

Don't encourage him 'Ron'.

How's Chappy's 3 year deal going at Essendon 'Clark'?

Riewoldt could walk out of St Kilda tomorrow. Has a meeting with them tomorrow, apparently not happy with the direction of the club. If he leaves.

Trade is brewing. Pick 10, Q.Lynch and 3rd pick for Nick Riewoldt.

As funny as this would be, Riewoldt won't be leaving the saints.

That is correct. The only two clubs seriously interested in getting Shaw are us and Geelong.

We are meeting up with him to see where his preference is at and where he sees his footballing future.

If Geelong don't pick him up, he'll become a Demon most likely, unless a 3rd team pops up late like a North or Rich and swoops.

It's your stupid declarations, such as "will be", that makes me want to snap you.

Yes, so it's clear they're different people, which was his point.

The only stupid thing I see is you, yet again, being in such a rush to be condescending that you quoted something he didn't even say.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
