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...

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:

starting now - 'on good authority', Nick Maxwell will come out of retirement to join the red & blue, being ready by Rnd-5, 2015.

....and you think you have good reason to think that this thread could be otherwise? :-))))

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.

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. 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!

like it...

& I just wonder if we'll do a swap with another club, like for like, for a couple of contracted talented underachievers ?

Richmond love taking in other club's rejects for good picks! They traded their second rounder for Shaun Hampson..! (While we got Bernie Vince :)

How's about we trade Nicho for their first and second round picks?

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.

Perhaps it was a smirk.......

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....

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
