Probably worth closing this thread perhaps now?

I don't like the odds of Rockliff coming to Melbourne. But you never know!

The thread can only be closed on Thursday at 2pm

I didn't say that. I said Brisbane knew nothing about the complex trade posted. "Are you working on a complex deal  involving Dunn and future picks with Melbourne for Rocky?" "No."

I don't get a lot of inside AFL news but was told today that he is off to the bombers and it won't be done until last thing Thursday 

Surely Dunn and our second round pick should trump the Bombers? I would hate to see our 2016 second round pick secure EFC an A-grader! We have to stand firm and offer them our 2017 pick for Hibberd. In summary, our 2016 & 2017 Second Round picks secure us Rockcliff and Hibberd (and we see Dunn off to a nice home rather than the filth)!

I find this believable.

For those that think GD was lied to you realise your saying the Operations Manager of Brisbane lied to him and fabricated a story about a complex trade scenario and that the same scenario was verified from a separate reliable source.

Personally I don't find that feasible, but each to their own. 

Maybe his family don't like him. Or they have a cool sense of humour. Or both

Hahahaha how does this rumour keep getting legs when Josh Mahoney explicitly stated yesterday that "we are not interested in Tom Rockliff".

Maybe he was talking about a different Tom Rockliff.

Officials regularly lie

 

Graham Wight said last week Lewis wont be traded.

 

Enjoy the rumours ride while it lasts in my opinion

rocky is a free agent next year.?

Exactly, so it's ludicrous to offer up next years first round pick. If there is any hope, it's the Hibberd deal holding things up. This years second round for Rockliff and next years second round for Hibberd seems more realistic. If Ess aren't budging then it's stopping the works. Insert circus music.

C'mon PD, it's the Zanotti Files!  With a name like that it has to be believable.

As you say, Rocky was done and dusted the moment Mahoney said so.  Those who chose to believe otherwise were just holding on to a pipe dream.

 Can't we throw Dunn in (to stop him going to Collingwood)?

It is, if we can get him next year for free?

I think we're keeping our 2nd Rnd pick to use in the 2016 draft.  

Unless something comes up, out of the blue,'s ?

What are you talking about. Have you never had blue cod on a camping trip?

 

I'd like to play you at poker. you'll believe anything from anyone.  Don't you know by now that any words spoken/written/printed, particularly from business people, are as good as bathroom paper.

Not worth zak.

Barrett said yesterday on trade radio that we asked the question early on, decided he wasn't in our price range and moved on, so that's as far as it got apparently.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
