After a quick read through it seems an old favourite (with a new name) has jumped up with the latest plausible information claiming it to be a scoop and from inside information.

Yes, rjay, spot on and I suspected this the first time I saw the post.  But the reality is a lot like the facade and would prefer to believe it regardless of the veracity.  As you say the process is the same as it the language. I'd bet a fair bit it's one and the same.  And why a new name?  Because after the Hogan fiasco GNF has no cred.

People with the sort of information JG says he has don't splash it around the internet because if they do it is quickly picked up and they no longer get the information.

    If Melbourne is interested in a player from Geelong, my inkling tells me Mark Blicavs.

    Blicavs can play midfield/ruck. 198cm and 100kg. Very good runner and tackles. Big body and difficult match up at centre bounces/clearances.

    V.Good player and is exactly the type of player we need...

    With Stringer and Ablett wanting to go to Geelong I am confident this could be on the cards. Geelong need to land draft picks to make this happen.

    3-way trade.

    Blicavs and Pick 33 to the Dees, Watts and Pick 20 to the Dogs, Stringer and Pick 27 to the Cats. 

    I can see the Dees landing Lever, Blicavs and Gaff. That would be the best trade week ever...

    Blicavs is a very average player.  Doesn't find enough of the ball as a mid and not good enough as a forward. 

    He is definitely not what we need

    I wonder if something like this would work.

    Gibbs and Blues pick 21 or whatever Carlton's 2nd pick is to Crows.

    Pick 10 and MFC Player ( Watts/Kent?)  to Blues

    Lever and 3rd round pick to Dees.

    Unfortunately I think the Blues miss out. A first rounder and watts for Gibbs and a 2nd rounder is a major loss for them

    I know for a fact that we don't think like that, as the List Managers know very well that what goes round comes round.

    The mantra is generally be fair in dealing, though of course at the same time trying to get the best deal, but the key word is "fair". 

    The clubs that constantly try to screw other clubs are well known.

    I think this deal may get done early in trade week, thereby allowing the Crows to deal for Gibbs and others.

    I understand that Red but I don't want us to bend over and just take it.

    Only have info on Lever and Gaff who both should be coming. There is a 3rd player of strong interest but I honestly don't know who it is. I know Demons have been talking to Geelong, not sure if Demons player going or Cats player coming

    I want this to be true... so shall believe it for a while.

    How exciting is this!!!

    :cool:

    Watts I can live without. Salem going would break my little heart into 1000 pcs

    I'd be extremely surprised if the club would consider trading Salem.

    Lever is two good finals performances away from being a big game player

    Agree? If so we definitely need someone who stands up for us when we need them to most

    Salem is worth more to us than he is on the open market. He has shown enough to be considered valuable but no club will pay enough with his injury history.

    Dodoro was fair with us in Melksham and Hibberd deals. And in the Carlisle deal with the Saints too, it was the Saints going too hard there.

    Unless his injury prognosis is worse than the Club is letting on.

    Is he? Depends on what is offered, if anything has been offered at all.

    I'd be interested to know just how many football related injuries Salem has a history of having had.  As far as I am aware, he missed the most time suffering from a thyroid condition (hardly football related), then concussion as a result of a brick hitting him in the head (again, hardly football related... self inflicted) and most recently suffered a hamstring injury (and I get the feeling Salem is not the first AFL player to have done a hammy). 

    So, just what is this injury history he has, and what "worse prognosis" could the club possibly be holding back on?

    Neither do I and neither do the club, they are just more pragmatic now.

    I think if you are seen as reasonable to deal with,  clubs are more likely to steer leaving players to you instead of the ars-holes.

    2014 preseason - thyroid issue
    2015 - injuries to both hamstrings, second one pretty severe
    2016 - thyroid issue
    2017 preseason - brick to the head
    2017 - hamstring again

    played more games this year than any other year and as long as we're on top of the thyroid issue he's vital to our future imo

    If by "fair" you mean he didn't do his favourite trick of holding up other deals by dragging them out all the way through trade week. I thought the general opinion here at the time was that we'd given overs for both, especially Melksham, though I suppose we had to go with the picks we had.

    Pick 10 for lever is plenty. At worst pick 10 and swap of 2nd round picks will suffice. 

    No way will dees throw in either watts and Salem + pick 10

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
