    '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:

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
