Sweet mother of Christ. If you’re treating text messages from Freo mates as legitimate intel worth posting you’re contribution to this Board is even more negligible than I ever thought it could be.

Haha. He’s got a family member that works for Freo (so he says..). Even then they’d probably manage to stuff up the passing on of info.

    I know it's Bigfooty, but someone over on the Melbourne forums has posted that the Swans have requested a meeting with us. He/she claims it could be Papley related. Intriguing development if true.

    Interesting indeed, but realistically the only way we can get involved in a Papley discussion is if we split the pick, and will have to be terr than pick 9 as thats Carlton's first pick.

    Throws darts here and there hopes to get a bullseye. Yet to hit a target at all.

    And just to be realistic, all 18 clubs met with each other this morning when they all made there way to Marvel. Happens everywhere. Clubs will then do private follow up meetins afterwards.

    I've heard a rumour the Swans have some interest in Mitch Hannan, perhaps that's where this rumour comes from?

    Interesting. If true, I'd keep Mitch. Depends what we get back in return though I suppose.

    I wouldn't put too much stock in it mate, this time of year every these things are all over the place. just found it interesting that i heard that today and then read the post about a meeting requested by the Swans, seemed to line up.

    They wanted AVB last year as well. If they want Hannan, do it, add AVB, throw in a decent pick and get Papley.

    I'd see if McCartin wants to come home, if Papley isn't a chance.

    Papley definitely fills a need that we have, i just think the Swans are asking a bit much for him, and some of the money he's being offered by other teams apparently is pretty high as well.

    Anyone see anything strange about this ad on Trade Radio on the AFL site?

    The 2019 line-up includes the AFL's No.1 newsbreaker Damian Barrett, plus former superstars of the game Matthew Lloyd, Nick Dal Santo, Adam Cooney, Dwayne Russell, Kane Cornes and Terry Wallace. Sam McClure and Mitch Cleary round out the panel who will bring footy fans all the breaking news as trades are made.

    Yep, that’s the Hannan / Jones trade

    An ideal scenario for me at the moment would be to get Tomlinson (Done) and Langdon for Pick 22/Future Second, and then trade Pick 3 for 2 Picks inside the top 10 (If possible). I don't think we'll trade Pick 3 unless it is an decent offer. I don't think we'll accept 2 picks in the teens.

    Dwayne is also a two-eyed Geelong and Port supporter. So whatever helps his team. He's completely biased and smarmy little [censored].

    He also keeps insisting that Jenkins is a better option for clubs to recruit than going after guys like Daniher, Cameron, King

    Well, yeah, he's an idiot as well as being incredibly biased.

    Agree,  as he offers far more versatility and has more attributes.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
