    '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:

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
