For over 7 years now, some will argue considerably more, the last rounds of the season have been more interesting and exciting for us in terms of who might be lured to the red and the blue, then what actually was happening on the ground. We won't discuss 2012 in terms of recruitment as that doesn't need revisiting, but with the arrival or Tyson and Vince, things are looking up. Roosy signing a third year can only help. I'm running the risk of serious p$&@ taking but could we start a legitimate, "ON good authority ....(players name) is now/becoming/will be a demon next year...

It's ok Song. I think I've even gone down that path on occasion. And I couldn't put you on ignore and miss a daily dose of a topless Stephen Tingay. I must confess to a very embarrassing story today.

Frawley hasn't made a decision until he has personally told satyricon that he has made a decision, ok? Why is it so hard for people to understand..?

Let's get it back on track. I have it on good authority that if we can satisfy the Giants Kristian Jaksch is keen to play for Melbourne. Both Tyson and Viney are key pieces in his decision. Carlton ar

the draft/trading sub forum is never on "good authority". it is alway a poo fight of ridiculous rumours, tripe and odd occasion of truth.

Which is almost as frustrating as the main board being filled with a smorgasbord of gifs and memes . . . . .

HEAVEN FORBID AN INTERNET FORUM WITH MEMES AND GIFS! What is the world coming to?!

The ignore feature is a very useful tool. You should try it and let this be your last vision of me:

The three main rumors are Shiel (targeted last year but GWS weren't prepared to trade), Cameron (although Roos claims he is "unaware" of any such talks) and Malceski (Roos says we have not contacted his management in the last 8 weeks, read into that what you like).

We might try Rockliff again as we were apparently incredibly close last year (would've been a done deal if Voss wasn't sacked), and could pick up O'Keefe for a year if Swans delist him, unless he retires at EOS.

No doubt there'll be another 3 or 4 "who?" pickups like Michie and Riley.

I must confess to a very embarrassing story today. Like you, I'm a teacher. I was showing a film today and was quietly happy with my developing technology skills being able to show the film on the projector yet still work on my laptop. Unfortunately, I pressed the wrong button at the wrong time and the film on the projector was replaced with my desktop. I had actually been doing some work but thought I'd just pop on to Demonland (like so many of us do during work!) so of course an image of Demonland replaced the film for all my class to see. I'll give Demonlanders one guess which poster's avatar was on display!

so no ones got anything 'on good authority'? The names have already been well discussed, probably too much.
If you have any credible information, please do post...

Ok here we go.

I have just returned from the Gold Coast where I saw Gary Ablett and his girlfriend shopping. I was wearing a Demons cap and he smiled at me. Therefore he must be a certainty to be coming to us next year.

We will be using our first rounder and giving Lance Whitnall a 7 year $600,000 per year contract heavily front loaded. Apparently he's had Lars surgery on his knees and they are good to go and he's not really as fat as he looks. It's just the performance enhancing herbs he is taking which are making him retain water. I'm pretty sure he is taller than 192cm as well....

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
