'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.

Melksham was pretty left-field

just sayin

we already know about Milkshake

This alludes to something very different

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:

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
