Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

Sounds like it was a completely baseless rumour, no surprise

Hold the phone, it sounds like it could be reasonably credible after that explanation.

No matter what it is, Trengove is the first domino to fall.

Working from home today, (and just tuned into sen for a minute or two...)

Just reported dees involved in a trade that would net them Jeremy Cameron and Dylan shiel!!!

Little chance of that happening if Boyd goes to the Bulldogs and their third key tall forward (Patton) is injured, Edited by CBDees

leta hope Ollie Wines has requested a trade to the dees behind closed doors.

Even though this would be great if true.. Ollie wines categorically stated that he won't be leaving the power. So we can rule him out unfortunately.

Do you base this on anything? Or just the general journo hate for no particular reason?

I remember the exact same type on responses to Barrett after he broke the Hogan injury (he was right), the mitch Clark burning (he was right) etc.

Brett Anderson, both journo and dees supporter, has said Jay's mail is usually pretty spot on.

Jay Clark broke the Trengove news on Friday. I'm not saying he is the best source, but it's possible he does know something.

'broke stories'

the vast majority of stories that get to air are from the clubs giving out freely or deliberately leaking them to the media. even thru star past players, loading the gun for unsuspecting journo's

there aren't many real great journo's these days, as the AFL has its grip around the throat of sports media, via ex players in media positions, & the threat of snubbing rogue journo's or papers.

so all we have now are purple warriors ??? & fat cats being fed on info, & lap sitting their feeders.

That may be correct but that's not the point. Journos genuinely upset people and breed so much hate and I'm confused as to why. It then leads people to make baseless statements like the one I questioned. Which is ironically often what they're accusing the journo of...

its all a part of the same rotting integrity & where the game is now, exploitation is the name of the game, & integrity losers its seat.

It effects the whole shebang.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
