Don't bet on it DD I'm betting this was a big part of why we have tried to 're sign him so early, get an idea of where he is at incase a tough decision has to be made

Ok, lets entertain this crap about jones for a second then.

He's contracted for another 12 months & restricted next year. Even if he tells the club he's eager to walk next year to the pies, they either have to satisfy us with a trade this year (currently looking like pick 5 for beams, their own 1st Rnd pick & Lumumba as real trade-able assets) or chances are we get band 1 compo next year which if we don't significantly improve in 2015 is likely to be another top 3 pick. Thus whatever we got for him this year would have to be pretty bloody good!

Either way we hold the cards, not jones nor collingwood.

So early? Gun players routinely get extensions with a year or more to go on their contracts, that's why there's soo much media hype about anyone playing their last contracted year without an extension. There is nothing early about it.

Meanwhile, players are jumping ship at collingwood left right and centre!!!

People on here were mocking suggestions pendlebury is gettable on other threads just because he's collingwoods captain...... But at demonland we like to panic and jump at shadows on the back of what a physio said.......

You mentioned Jones said that he will sign a extension soon. That article backs up my argument.

No where is it mention he will sign an extension. Just the fact that the club are set to put an offer forward.

It says both parties are negotiating an extension. I think if he'd made up his mind to leave already they wouldn't be wasting their time talking to us much like Frawley's manager refusing further discussions all year.

The first bizarre rumour of the silly season : jeremy howe op for trade

Dont understand why this is bizarre. I have mentioned previously I expect if you are not a pure mid or true key position your name will be floated for the right price. Howe, Garland, Grimes, Watts will all be raised for the right price.

Don't find a Howe trade surprising in the slightest. Has everyone forgotten the spray Roos gave him and Watts? He's less than in love with these two.

He was very good in defense in some games, but very quiet in others. Didn't have an interrupted preseason so no real excuse for a form slump given his fitness.

Losing Maxwell, Beams, McCaffer and Heretier for next year is going to hurt.

Next year could be Swan's last.

Wouldn't go near that joint right now.

This.

Even if the twice removed rumour from a club physio is true, why would Jones go from us to the Pies? It won't be to go home/ for more opportunity.

If it's about money we can (and will) match the $$ the pies throw at him.

If it's about success there are at least 8 teams with better prospects than the pies atm.

Oh please........If coaches traded every player that he gave a spray to, we'll be trading out every player every year

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
