Just when I consign myself to the fact that he is definately going to Geelong , some nuff nuff on the Tele says the Dees are still a chance, this is playing havoc with my acid reflux.

As if Gia would have any idea as to what is going on.

Just trying to drum up ratings.

I remember an old lady ringing KB saying Buddy was going to the swans and everyone laughed at her.

What would she know? She trumped everyone.

Do I think Danger will come to us, probably not.

Do I think the clubs made a play for him, yes.

Sorry to rain in on the parade..

Dangerfield's manager Paul Connors has said his client is only considering the Crows and Geelong, with the Cats' home base 55 minutes from his home town of Moggs Creek.

I don't have anything to back this up but I'm refusing to believe that Dangerfield is going to Geelong. Something is just not adding up! Paul Roos came out and said we are going to be big players this year in the trades yet all we have heard so far is Melksham who I don't think is a huge recruit but could prove handy none the less. Melbourne had the money last year and by all accounts floated the idea of some serious money for Dangerffield and now we read about the contract with Geelong only being $800k a season for 5 years. A few suspicious tweets from Melbourne players to Paddy is also making me think there is more to the story than what we know. I could be wrong and maybe time will tell but we have all seen this before with Buddy and Tippet. Remember players managers get paid based on the size of the contract so that's why some things do t turn out the way that most people think.

He most probably is but

A - Until it's done it's not done.

B - If we have offered 1.5 for 5 you'd have to consider it.

Paul Connors already declared it's a two horse race, Geelong or Adelaide. That's as good as confirmation for me.

The second language of the AFL is lying.

We did it to Freo for MC a few years ago who says it can't happen again?

I haven't heard the quote, but I believe all Connors did was confirm Hawthorn were not interested and than went to say at the moment it's between Geelong and Adelaide. I think the press inferred those comments

So? He'd never base himself in Mogg's Creek.

I can't understand why this would be a factor.

Being in Vic would be key.

Maybe, but northing stopping another coming in late with an astronomical offer...

Presume such qualification by the manager is within the rules, but IMO such action borders on unfairness buy shutting other potential bidders out compromising real trade. Hope Adelaide steps up to the plate.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
