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.

    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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
