    So Yoko gets their kicks out of telling a load of ????

    No mate, if you know me or have read any of my posts in the past, I am not one to make up stuff, and I am also not one to reply 1000 times to every topic. I actually take offence to some of you saying I am talking crap or making it up.

    I know what I know, and just because I won’t say the actual name yet, your think I am lying.

    Show some patience. It may not pan out, but we are trying to get someone, as I have said already.

    Good stuff Yoko. Without saying a name, you heard whether it’s progressed at all?

    Asked for more info, was told they are still trying, but it comes down to a waiting game, as so many trades are being held up and the likelihood of this one is dependent on others moving first.

    also didn’t rule out speaking to other taller forwards, but unsure if they are really serious about getting one unless it is the one they want (possibly not interested in a short term solution).

    Neither should they be. If it's the strategy, I completely agree with it. If we can't get the player we want, we simply build our system around the players we have.

    Happy with that - not sure how much benefit we derive from a JJ or Hawkins who won’t be around for more than 2 seasons. 

    Thanks for the update Yoko - appreciate it!

    If it were Buddy and another first rounder with Sydney paying half his wages, I'd definitely go there. (yes, yes, I know, Victorian-based player)

    I apologies for what i said. 

    After yesterday seems like we are done with the trade, so it didn't seem we were even in the mix for anyone else this trade period.

    Are we going to take Serong at 3 and then a forward at 26? There are at least 3 possible choices at 26: Miles Bergman, Cameron Taheny or Dylan Williams. Any thoughts from others?

  • Quote

    Just like to back up Yokozuna, I was told a couple of things late yesterday. One I have a friend who has a mate who works at the club and two we are definitely trying to bring in a forward. No mention of names but we are definitely trying for one.

    I can also confirm that I believe make no mistake we will get a player to the club who can play as a forward. #ETthetradebreaker.

    The suspense is killing me. Can we have another clue please? Preferably something like the amount of behinds he kicked this year.

    I am happy to believe all Dees gossip at this time of year, as it makes it interesting and enjoyable to log on to DL each time, hoping for some good news on a new player.

    If it doesn't come off, no biggie.

    As long as posters aren't lying and I believe you aren't, then it is great to get bits of news on our club. 

    Keep up the posting and when you can, throw out another hint.

    Not sure if this has been posted, but Mahoney virtually ruled out any small forward trades and suggested that could be a draft scenario.

    So I think if he is correct, we won't be drafting a big boy with our first pick.

    I’ll narrow down to who I’d be excited about (and those which are unrealistic ie Daniher, Lynch and Reiwoldt) from the previous list:

    • Josh 'Basil' Bruce
    • Jack 'Basil' Gunstan 
    • Harry 'Basil' McKay
    • Josh 'Basil' Schache
    • Charlie 'Basil' Curnow
    • Ethan 'Basil' Tremblay'

    Gunston, McKay, Curnow, Brown and Ratugolea are IMO no chance at all.

    Tremblay is refusing to leave WA where he is a G-D.

    Bruce appears to have committed to the Dogs, though could be a chance late if a deal can't be done.

    Membrey won't go if Bruce is gone.

    That leaves Schache on your list, who we could have had a couple of years ago.

    McKay's twin brother at North could be a chance, but he isn't setting the world on fire and has played mainly in defence.

    I think our key forward if we have one in sight, is not on this list.

    If it involved our pick 3 I could see McKay and Ratugolea potentially being available (Cats and Blues have both been asking about pick 3).

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
