Nah i dont mind people who provide inside info, whether its Melbourne or Essendon.

Not sticking up for Braysure but all of his info turned out correct and many got stuck into him for simply saying Hurley wasn't coming to us. Dont think many gave him a chance at all to see if he was correct indeed.

Agree but impersonating a Demon's supporter is a banable offence.

You won't get to.  Enjoy the permanent ban. To be clear on opposition supporter policy: welcome with open arms, if here for civilized discussion.  If you try to 'infiltrate' by stealth and decept

Tom Browne just said that Essendon are getting very frustrated with the demons who are aggressively chasing both Hibberd and Hurley... Giddy up Dee supporters!

Watson saying Essendon 'would accept" Tom Mac for Hurley. How about we have both and give Essendon SFA Tim?

There is only one poster who deserves every bit of a wack that comes his way especially after the Patrick Dangerfield Josh Kennedy debacle that led everyone on a merry go round. He was taking the [censored] with everyone and somehow managed to get away with it. Yet many on here are willing to bow down and worship him. I dont.. He goes on to mention that Prestia will choose us, again how did that turn out? when clearly me and you saw that the Dees shut the door on him as soon as he turned us down and we git Oliver. We were never in the hunt this year fair to say?

Yes, his info was correct. Kudos to him/her

Most of us got stuck in, because we could clearly see he was an essedon supporter posing as one of us, and we take exception to that in whatever way we see fit.

Salem strikes me as the perfect winger, playing on the opposite side to Stretch.  Both are calm under pressure, use the ball well and run to the right positions.  Hunt may also push up into that role as well.

I think Vince and Melksham may play that veteran, half back role for us which will release some of those players to have a spot further up the field.  

Yes I agree Wise we dont really need him especially if we actually have to trade for him

Was interested when we could get him for free but no interest now.Lets develop our own. BTW i am not sure he was ever really available so 25 pages and lots of tim elost for ever

Hibberd would be a really solid get for us and I still hope we land him. He'd be another really strong and experienced defender that'd help glue that back six.

And on the Salem issue, I would absolutely hate to lose him.

Have said it before, but as soon as he has one uninterrupted pre-season and season of footy, I think we'll all see how important he'll be as one of our young core. 

I don't think we have much to fear there, Steve.  The club seem to rate him highly and he was even in the discussion of being a replacement for Garlett, and he's only had a few games back in the VFL.  They know his quality and they know what he can bring to the side.  I can't see him going anywhere, and certainly not for Hibberd.

Is that legal?

In your view?

If he is told he will get x, but 50% of that we will treat as compo for settling with you, yes it is legal. More importantly, the AFL will not interfere.

i still find it quite strange the essendrug players suing for compensation (seemingly without much opposition) when they were found guilty by cas and no essendon officials were charged or found guilty (by wada/cas). i know there was worksafe charges sustained against the club, but still

it just seems to give the bad impression that convicted drug cheats can profit financially in the courts (or the threat of court action)

I don't know if they have sued or will sue, i am just suggesting ways they can do deals.

If this happens or has happened it will be interesting to see how long it takes for Eddie to roll into town.

His club has already been made to look a tad stupid over Hurley...

I think his club is looking stupid over its own performance.

wasn't referring to you, red and yes as i understand it they have only threatened to sue and a deal is being done to pay compensation to avoid a court case

just saying that the guilty getting compensated doesn't sit quite right with me, though i sort of understand why

Wasn't there a financial impediment in the ban as well, or are they allowed to go to the AFL  ATM as required. Anyone.

It beggars belief how much money has slipped and continues to slip through Essendrug's fingers. If it's not legal fees, it's fines, or its Hird's hush money and o/s study, or its player compo or its over inflated contracts to keep players.....

Guys like Paul Little and Andrew Muir must be continually pulling blank cheques out of their pockets. 

Wonder if they're funding the Hird Junior's school fees in Paris.

Wouldn't be the first time the guilty have prospered.

Good news for us. We're one step closer to landing him. He'll be a good half back flanker for us, offers great rebound, and it would allow Salem and Vince to play full time midfield.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
