Just hear that on SEN too Tappy?

For those that didn't hear it, there is gap between what was said on SEN and what Tappy has mentioned.  To add to the story, it was a caller that made the claims.

Take out of it whatever you please.  I know I'll be taking the grain of salt.

Heard it there, but it continues to mentioned all over the place, always being tied to Sydney. I bloody hope not, but it always seems to end up the player leaving when they won't sign on. And I heard Melbourne had a good offer on the table and he wasn't interested. I'm not listening to a random SEN caller, but generally when there's a shitloood of smoke, there's fire

I can confirm, I have today been told by a reliable source within the club prior to the match that Tom has indicated he will sign on to stay within the next month. Finer details still to be worked out

Can't believe those who are sitting on the fence with this. He's 22 (?) years old and has already done jobs on some of the best forwards in the game. Is a running machi

Brian Waldron teed off on a lot of rumours, Tom Mitchell to Hawks, Bulldogs into Hurley big time and Hibberd keen to join Melbourne and wants out. He stated that he didn't know anything about McDonald, it was Chris, a regular caller and D's fan who bought up the topic of McDonald to Sydney and then it grew from there.

 

 

Chris from Camberwell, I'm a big fan of his work.

Wasn't the same woman who said Buddy to Sydney and was laughed at was it?

I've been to a few Swans games this year and have been unable to buy an Aliir Aliir player badge (my Queensland based friend wants one for his son) they keep telling me they've sold out....What makes Tmac think he'll be any different.

 

What I would love to happen but never will is for someone to hit him up in front of the group at training, Yes it's his right to ask to be traded but it's also his right to man, it's not like we're challenging.

Is telling Watts to play next to him on a wing crazy? I guess with nobody to play forward that would be an issue but Watts is capable of going with him... If there is any player Watts should be trying to be like it is Nick... I think jack could punish him on the rebound too.

Wasn't Roosy saying after the port game they would have liked to play Watts on Westhoff when he was on the wing running a muck. Maybe they will have that in mind this week?

Frankly I don't think that there is anybody "Watts should be trying to be like"! There are plenty of others not doing their current job as consistently or as polished as Jack. Leave him in his current role and let the Saints instead worry about how they are going to try and stop him.

If anyone should go with NR, I would like to see Hunt who didn't play last time Nick gave us an absolute bath. We will have a different looking team this weekend and I am sure that Roos and Goodwin will plan accordingly.

I bet he does. Asks about 9 long winded questions and then tells us he and his mates are no longer going to contribute financially...

And then they go to an ad break....

Thought I recalled a Chris from camberwell thread from last year. Just looked back over it and it is very entertaining. I think it says it all.

He's definitely a character but we can't fault his passion.

If it was Chris from Camberwell I wouldn't be too concerned.

Once again, talk about Chinese whispers...

Yes, it was Chris from Camberwell, but it wasn't him talking up the rumour, it was Brian Waldron after a caller made the claim and Chris was merely expressing his concern.

The way it's been posted you'd think the rumour emanated from Chris.  It didn't.  He rang up expressing his confidence that Prestia was over the line, because he'd heard it from inside the club.  Although I'm not convinced how keen the club now is.

Can people listen to the radio or tv and actually remember what they heard and the sequence of how they heard it ?

Would be surprised they would be able to  fit  a 'high priced' Tmac in salary cap with Buddy , Tippett ? . Would think something would have to give.

Don't forget Parker, Hanners, Jack, JPK, 

 How much will Dawes and Grimes free up....if their contract was front loaded where the f##k is the money going?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
