The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

 

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.

You do realise we share this city with other footy clubs as well...

I didn't say he was talking to MFC did I?

 

Am I only the only poster on Demonland who doesn't have a source or access to somebody in the know?

I once shook hands with Peter Moore when I was 15. Does that count as being in the know?

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?


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 thought you were going to say, "You do realise he's Victorian and on holidays ?".

Well I did hear that Sylvia was as good as resigned... :)

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.

Good God OD, you have made a comment that is almost risque!!

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.

I'm flattered you're more familiar with me than I you.

I hope we don't use pick 2 and turn it into two average players. I would rather we used it to get a really good mid and used our second rounders for the roll types. Otherwise we should keep pick 2 for the draft. Don't dilute it by going for quantity.

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.

The ever-wise brains trust over at bomberblitz believe that Myers will get them pick 2. From now on, no idea on this forum is silly.

Give it time, the trade period is young. Someone on here will well and truly top that before the month is out.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
