Rumor on Bomberblitz that we are into Hamish Hartlett.

Harlett to Dees

Dixon to Port

However and 2nd rounder to Suns.

We are offering big money to entice him.

Your mistake was believing those Dkheads.

    Like a week ago; on radio, Todd Viney was suggesting that Port should trade Harlett.

    Actually, my first mistake was thinking 'I wonder what those idiots on Bomberblitz are thinking they will get for that Spud Melksham?'

    The word is that our a grade targets are from Sydney and the Suns.

    Any inkling as to who the target(s) at Sydney might be? JPK again?

    Cam Ellis-yolman out of contract was killing it earlier on. Maybe our second round is to early mid to late second maybe.

    But first we must get hb. He is a must.

    I like the sound of butcher as a delisted free agent.

    A friend of mine who knows him personally said that there has been an inquiry about Josh Walker from our club, and Josh would be more than open to coming to us, however he feels that if anything was to happen that he would be involved in a trade that would get Henderson to the Cats.
    Wants far more opportunities than he is being given and probably deserves it and is open to being traded.
    I for one have always rated him, cracks hard into packs and has great hands (unlike Dawes) and I feel that him and Hogan could really grow together (he is only 22).

    Take it as you will, probably another just another bit of waffle in the silly season but that's what i have been told.

    Didn't Barrett report that there was interest in Walker which may form part of Henderson deal?

    Walker would be a handy fwd/ruck foil for Hogan

    We chased Lynch for a while and obviously were left red-faced less than a week ago.

    I imagine we scrambled pretty quickly to find a suitable alternative.

    So... Hamish Harltett. I wouldn't say no, but surely we need a bit more leg speed. I guess it'd depend on what we'd give up for him. What do the rest of you think?

    Where is this Hamish Hartlett talk coming from exactly?

  • Quote

    A rumor on Bomberblitz was stated before.

    Where there is a bit of truth I suspect is that we are trying to get another quality midfielder and a tall forward.

    Can't blame the club for trying and shows we are proactive.

    It was suggested by someone here a week back. Clearly the journos know where to source a reliable source

    Is it true that gws gave tweeted that McCarthy is staying (proving once again that Barrett is...)

    I wouldn't jump too early just yet.

    Freo's Tom Sheridan responded to the Toby Greene's post saying they have an unreal Mad Monday over in Freo, but he deleted it pretty quickly.

    Anyway, that's enough of that rubbish for me this evening. I love rumours, but I hate gossip. Time for bed.

    That must be a joke right?

    On the basis of those photos, it think he'd be more likely to request a trade to some hick football team in Arkansas ...

    Clearly my mind has moved early into the silly season. It took me so long to work out who 'hb' might be that I'd thought of a pencil before I finally realised you meant Harley Bennell...didn't you?

    Man, I love silly season.

    I can see the value in Hartlett, played a lot across half back this year and is a pretty good kick. Responsible for quite a few of Port's attacking forays.

    Salem and Hartlett at HBF... sounds alright to me.

    Butcher would be dirt cheap, if not free. Big bodied, key position forward who regularly takes contested mark and is good in the lead. Yes, he kicks like a mule- but with all those other attributes, I think the kicking can be worked on; never to be perfected, but perhaps improved.

    IMHO.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
