In regards to the 2 posts above. I played golf today with a 'local' newspaper guy today. He told me verbatim that many of 'us' troll websites etc for rumours and go with the ones that seem to have the most 'credibilty'. Maybe we here at D'land and others at B'footy etc are starting this crap and then just feeding it back to ourselves??????

We saw this when Ox pretty much read out GNF's post about Mitch Clark verbatim.

The term "blindsided" even made it onto the afl website news story. The first time I read it, it was GNF and nothing else had been reported at the time.

Have thought that ever since I was quoted a few years back in the paper, basically word for word.

It had been reported before GNF did a backflip on his previous posts.

If this journo is playing golf rather than doing serious work on a weekday workday, it is not surprising that he has to rely on sources that are mostly rumour, speculation and opinion. Must also watch a lot of telly in the evenings and listen to the radio on the way home from golf to get info. Just like us.

If that's true, then we have to get a LOT more "creative"! :)

The 3 way trade was put on Big Footy on Tuesday. By Thursday it was in the Herald Sun. Go figure.

Well said and most often the case, however there are the odd few reputable posters that have proven to inform us of an upcoming trade, signing, or movement before it eventuates.

Most annoying game of golf I have played. Must have answered at least 2 dozen calls/ texts. Put me off my game. Only 38 pts

Rumour that Danger met Pendelbury for coffee today.

Any chance of them both coming to Melbourne?

:lol:

Yes, we are going to trade Evans to crows and Blease to collingwood for them. I think we are paying overs though...

The situation at Collingwood vis a vis the coaching - not just Buckley but the entire set up - is dire.

You can have your rumours about Dangerfield and Pendelbury meeting for coffee but I reckon the two attractions for Dangerfield would be Roos and the money. As poorly performed as our team might have been in the recent past, we will still be a better destination for players in the years to come than Collingwood under Bucks.

Getting there. Need to find that 'taking the [censored]' expression and you've got it nailed on. Quality photoshopping skills are frowned upon. I've been spending too much time on English Soccer forums.

We've also managed to violate the space time contiuum by you quoting my post before I made it. Impressive.

Even more impressive given that I'm posting from Queensland and we're still 20 years behind you guys.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
