It was looking alright until I read who was in the forward pockets.

Hogan not playing for us next year?

Pretty sure Hogan = Jehovah himself.

I have never posted a rumour based post as I have no connections to the club or players but I was told of one today that really excited me.

Tom Rockliff has agreed to terms with the MFC and will wear the red and blue next season and beyond. I heard he and his girlfriend have become home sick(she is from benalla), and Tom is sick of the off field crap going on up there.

My source is my mates sisters best friend is the girlfriend

Don't shoot the messenger, but I thought I would put it out there for all demonlanders to know

At least you named your source!!

If true, this would be bloody sensational.

From memory, Rockcliff polled 16 votes in the Brownlow.

Not knocking your source or rumour but I still can't believe that one. Some would argue Rockliff is their best player and the Lions won't just let him go, even if he has "agreed to terms" with our club. Don't see it happening.

Contracted to 2014 as well so it would be a high pick to get him.

Not accusing you of lying, but that's GOLD!

Exactly. I long for the days when I was 18 and can get genuinely excited about a rumour like that, but I just can't do it anymore, ha ha! Rockliff won't be going anywhere.

his contract is up, he signed a 2Yr extension in August 2011.

pardon me, I didn't read it properly. he had a year left in 2011 before extending x 2.

Edited by dee-luded

his contract is up, he signed a 2Yr extension in August 2011. so???? ^_^

As someone mentioned above he is contracted until the end of 2014.

If true, this would be bloody sensational.

about the same as......... :unsure::rolleyes:

People do realise a trade CAN be done MID contract ....if all parties agree...thats the nature of contracts :)

That's not lost on me. If the Lions trade Rockliff then they have officially gone right off the deep end.

a good time to hit the lions up , whilst theyre a little off kilter, what with all their mess ( unlike our fine sorted out club :unsure::rolleyes:^_^ )

They've a number who are rather peeved and/or homesick. Theyre in for a mini rebuild at least.

so who would you swap to them for a Rockliff, of comparable value?

Ok this is what I have heard - Dees in a big way into either Swallow or Sloane with a player and a pick 2 for a lower pick swap.

Club considering an offer up to 1.2 over three years for Taylor Adams.

Sources - internet only but repeated.

so who would you swap to them for a Rockliff, of comparable value?

Ive asked elsewhere....is he worthy of some form of pick swaps including ...dare i say it....#2 ? Just asking.

Also posted elsewhere but I will here to .. Hypothetical..

We think we have Cross, make a play for Chappy. Roos has a history of player-whispering blokes like Shaw.

add Rockliff to the middle....now look at the team sheet ? draft some others and youve got 2-3 reasonable years of a competitive type midfield whilst kids come on.

We're a footy team again...a real one !!


fits,blease and just about everyone else on the table

Rockliff would be an absolute win!

if the rumour was true then the question is real. & I think it is believable as it was said that Rockliff told the club he wanted out if Voss stayed. this is why I think the AFL are up to their necks into the Lions, & indirectly, I think this could be why we didn't get the PP.

so with that, could it be that another player as well, could be involved to make up the P2 difference? I would rather they had p2, than giants or suns,,, but I would also like Adams & or Swallow.

Club is in a quandary over our available forwards/talls. We have Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Gawn, Jamar. All don't fit. They know we need backups but that is way to many. Expecting at least Spencer to get the sqeeze and maybe Jamar.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
