My ideas are just based on history, i'm not sure I can remember anyone putting talks on hold this long and staying, I get that it's a big call for him though, probably his last real contract and he has a right to take his time, and my preference is certainly for him to stay.

Brad Green did. i can't remember which year it was but he was seriously considering a move to Collingwood but signed on for three more years late in trade week.

$400k is about 4% of the cap next year.

So it is becoming less extravagant to pay someone that.

Yes, but with 40 odd players on your list, they average 2.5% of the cap each.

Obviously the players aren't equal, but there's a large difference between 2.5% and 4% for a kid going into his 3rd year.

I'd pay it, but I think the 4% should be put in context.

I believe a deal is being discussed but it involves our 2nd round pick, not pick 2!

I would be amazed if somebody pulled that off, particularly given Richmond's interest.

Don't be amazed by anything this time of year! Many unexpected trades will happen. Even some of our players are in for a surprise!

Demoneyes so I can get a feel for how seriously one should deliberate your rumours can you indicate whether this is your wishful thinking, rumours you get trawling other peoples rumours on forums, you have a secondary source relating to the club or a direct source at the club.

Still trying to digest that. May take a zantac!

When has it ever been Demonland policy to question sources???

All rumors on here are true aren't they :)

Bombers seem to be in the chase as well - Let the bidding war begin

Would be happy to pay overs for Adam to get him through the PSD - we need mids and Adams is a no brainer

I have a customer who is well connected

I cannot believe how many regular posters on here are giving this guy air! Thread after thread of half-cocked rumours, not one has come anywhere near to fruition. Wake up!

Afl.com.au say he met with the drug cheats

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-25/dons-in-market-for-adams

yet we arent even being mentioned as a chance to land him?

Collingwood and Richmond are more 'important' than us at the minute, therefore they get there air time.

Doesn't mean we aren't chasing him though. I have no doubt we are in for him, but it might take a bit of luck to land him over the other clubs.

Yeah but he's an Eastwood fan. Deserves his 15 minutes. And besides, it is the silly season.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
