    '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.

    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:

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
