    '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.

    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:

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
