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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
