    'I'va Worn Smith' has foreshadowed this in another thread. He rated his source a 7/10.

    So it is worth getting a little excited!

    He tells us we will know more after the GF :rolleyes: but then this could mean at the end of Trade Week :unsure:

    Hoping it is sooner rather than later.

    It could be that Barrett has been reading i'va's posts here on DL...it pleases me a great deal that the likes of Purple cannot find out what is going on at the Dees...

    The thing that is also good about the 'silence' is that the relevant player manager is also keeping 'mum'...it is often these guys that leak rather than the clubs or players.

    This gets me excited, massive play from left field. I salivate at the prospects.

    Big Fish could be someone out of left field like a Tom Mitchell,Hannebrry,Josh Kennedy.

    Or maybe it is some from like a Bennell, Omeara or Prestia.

    Got a gut feeling it is some one North of the border though, either a Swan, Giant, Sun or Lion.

    My Guess, for what it's worth, are Kennedy and Bennell.

    That would make me content.

    In fact, any of those guys from up nor would do.

    Ox was sounding smug about us nailing some from up north the other day.

    I'd like to be wearing a smile like Roosey too. Will test my patients.

    My contact said Sydney and Gold Coast were the targets. My source was right on two a few years back but not on last year.

    hell....WE have nfi but HOPE we must be doing something !! ^_^

    Some significant names still OOC: Garland 26 (RFA), Hunt19, Michie 23, Howe 24, Toumpas21, Harmes® 19

    The longer they are OOC the less likely they will be at the Dees.

    However, Harmes is a 'must re-sign'...we need to keep Jesse's buddies at the Club!!

    Jokes aside, he had some terrific games this year and he has bucket loads of what Jesse calls 'competitive edge!

    So he has earnt a contract and promotion to the senior list.

    Probably waiting to see how the list and # of places pan out before finalizing it.

    Fully expect him to be in the Red and Blue next year!

    While its always sad to see Dees players go I am slowly accepting departures are necessary to significantly improve.

    Totally agree. It wasn't an attack on Barrett as such (although given the chance.....) but more that, as frustrating as it is as a supporter not I hearing anything, it is how it should be so the due diligence and negotiating is being done without external pressures. That is my belief (hope) but if I'm wrong ........ then THE END IS NIGH! :lol:

    Add no extra speed to an already slow midfield

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
