Interesting...

I'm torn as to whether he would actually improve us. He'd probably compete with Weideman for the second forward spot. I guess it's a depth thing as well.

Depends on the price, I guess. 

Its Not as if Weeds is a proven consistent performer as yet. He has time but would love another Tall, Would take any of in preferential order Gunston, Casboult, Jenkins easy!

    Talk he might be off to the Bombers now!

    I wonder if the rumour re listed to Cox but the destination club was muddled.

    I don't want Cox (leave it alone ds)

    For anyone wondering the key forwards of any interest that come out of contract at the end of next year are:

    Ben Brown

    Ben King

    Brody Mihocek

    Jeremy Cameron (RFA)

    Mason Wood (RFA)

    Patrick McCartin

    By no means the full list as at trade time anyone and everyone seems to be gettable regardless of contract. Pretty slim pickings if you ask me, and I’m of the view that Cameron wont leave the Giants. The interesting ones are King and Brown which could definitely be gettable

    I am excited by the player, he is not a battler, but a player who has kicked quite a few goals against us (but thats not hard as we have always allowed players to kick modern day bags of 4-5 against us!).

    I gather you have no more news as yet.

    Breust or gunston  both make sense. Good kicks. Hawks have recent history of moving long term players on. Are rebuilding. And maybe keen in frost. Straight swap?

    Same.  Might explain why the offer was never tabled to Frost (as of yet anyway).

    Wouldn't surprise if Yokozuna was playing games

    Yoko was spot on more than once in 2018 when it came to team changes. Would post them well before the official announcement, if it’s the same source there could well be something brewing here. That’s my belief anyway dd.

    I don’t know why he can’t just name the player. 

    It better not be Mason Cox after Basil Mason (the writer) or Mason Basil (the way hipsters grow Basil), I’ll throw up.

    How dare you accuse someone on the site of making up stuff ?. 

    I will ease your minds and say it isn’t Cox or anyone from that club!

    However, I do have a very good source and I am glad some people remember my team announcements in previous years!!

    I just haven’t been on the site much this year, as I honestly couldn’t sit through most of the rubbishy being written on here!

    it was bad enough watching us play, but rewind stuff on here just made it worse!!

    As I said, I promised my source I wouldn’t name the player, but he is from a club that are possibly needing to shed some players or $$ this trade period.

    I would like it to be membrey or Bruce, as I know they always beat us, but it isn’t. 

    As I said, you will be surprised!!

    Casboult? Surely the Blues, with Betts (albeit not with a ton for them to pay), Papley and Martin all on the way in need to make some space. Also been some (internet) rumours they may chase Gaff, so they will need to be cutting back elsewhere. They've delisted/retired 6 players and already have 3/4 coming in pre-draft, so may need list spots too.

    Hawkins 

    I hope not. Or hope so. I'm not sure. 

    Gunston? 

    Clues:

    • A key forward (are correct to assume a big?)
    • Victorian club
    • But not pies
    • And not membrey or Bruce
    • A club who needs to shed some players or $$ this trade period
    • Would be a surprise

    Cats might be looking to make a play for Cameron with Kelly’s compensation. 

    Think they’ve tried before... 

    Hawkins does perform well against us, and, being a Cat through and through, it would surprise. 

    If I’m right, and I’m usually not, I don’t think I’d like it.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
