No idea, but i must admit i don't pay all that much attention to posts with "Inside info" outside of Chook in Perth these days who seems to be on the money more often than not, 

 

Right on cue:  :cool:

possibly the most bizarre yet compellingly intriguing trade period for a long time. Only a week in and more left field hits than I can recall.

Week 2 promises a humdinger of a circus.

Roll on....

Yes we might actually sign someone.

Interesting little interchange on Twitter involving SEN and Inside Football's Brett Anderson and others. It's been going on for the past 24 hours:- 

Tony G: Has the landscape changed for us today on the Lewis to Dees?

BA: Yep

DaveD: Lewis will be at Demons next year

StephenM: will it affect the hibberd deal?

BA: nope

StephenM: how will they get it done?

BA: hibberd 2nd rd. Lewis maybe 3rd

TG: done by Monday?

BA: no idea

(moved to a brief discussion on what the bombers will be doing in this trade period - not much)

TG:  Brett, I've just heard Rockliff to Dees. Dunn & picks involved.  Have you heard anything?

The last post was two hours ago but no answer yet from Brett Anderson.

Perhaps Brett, if you post or view Demonland, we might cut out the middle man and get your answer here in these pages?

people worried about Rockliff's rep, yet not sure anyone understands what that reputation is for, or how it came about, or even if he recognises he needs to make changes and moving to another club could be part of that.  As I recall we got garlett cheap because he had a bad rep, maybe we should throw him back.

Agreed   what does a contract mean again?

For Jordan Lewis and Michael Hibberd - very little

For Jesse Hogan and Jack Viney - Hopefully a lot

A first rounder and a second rounder for Tom Rockliff? Has the world gone mad?

I'd be bitterly disappointed. Particularly given our recent drafting performance.

Put simply, I'd back a 'Jason Taylor' rnd 1 and rnd 2 combo ahead of a $700,000+ jar of fig jam.

 

 

Yes but they ain't helping us in the next 2-3 years realistically to win a flag. This last few days has really signalled some intent by the Dees. 

History and Osilik will be Mahoney and Goodwin judge on if it works.

Very funny man Red!

And so you just posted it on a fan site on the internet for the whole world to see with information that indicates exactly who your sources are with 2 minutes on google?  If this deal is real why would you post it now?  Why wouldn't you just calmly sit back and wait for it to happen?  Do you think it makes any difference if we know now or in 6 days?

Just FTR I don't believe you.  I'm not saying it won't happen but I don't believe this information.  I think you're making an educated guess and if it happens you'll be an internet hero and if it doesn't you'll come on here with a story of why it fell over.  Believe me if you've got previous form (and I don't know if you have) there is not one footy person who would speak to you if they knew you put their confidential information on an internet site. 

So my conclusion is that you're either a loose cannon with confidential information and no respect for those that gave it to you or you're a troll seeking some sort of notoriety from a bunch of wackers (and I include myself) on an internet site.  Great options aren't they!:o

Hahahaha I don't care about you or your thoughts. Save your lecture for your kids

It's a tough balancing act, if you don't post sources you're highly likely to attract the wrath of posters unless you have points in the bank, but if you do then you're really putting your sources in hot water if it gets out that they said something, which is clearly a risk in this case. 

good on Generation Dee for posting what he's heard with details, maybe not the source part of it though.

 

My thoughts are PM people if they really want to know source. I had some info on Trenners foot I was happy to post but bloody wary about source as it would have lost someone a job. Had some pm with doubters, all good.

Would hate to be GD source from Brissy on Monday. 

Loved the rumour though.

the only risk is 1. if the rumour is correct and 2. the person spreading the rumour is actually connected in the way they say they are

No thanks. 

FTR, I'm not asking too much specificity on Chook's sources. I trust his MFC sources as he's consistently delivered. But to say Brisbane know nothing about it suggests either he's trying to pour cold water on it from Melbourne's end or he knows someone at the Brisbane end.

Notice the word "Seen" suggesting he's read it rather than heard it or been told it, fair chance he trolls Demonland. 

Brett like this post?

Someone took a screenshot and tweeted the original post to him.

Not that I have a problem with journos on footy forums as long as they then follow up with proper sources which is what BA has stated he will do.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
