@Lord Nev what're you hearing son? any intel for us?

Look, I'll call a truce with you good doctor, not sure how we got tangled up tbh. Sound ok?

On Tuesday I heard Smith was looking pretty good (I wouldn't have gone as far as 100% certain, but seemed fairly firm) for an MFC move. Haven't heard anything since though, other than the media reports about Geelong that have sprung up.

I know a while back Smith wasn't answering Gawn's calls, someone here posted a similar story about Lewis. Might mean nothing and just be how he is though.

Here's a conspiracy for you all. (And it's just that, no inside word or anything)

Maybe we're the ones who have cooled since the new about Treloar broke and are now in talks to bring him across on a Tom McDonald trade and plan on playing him on a wing instead given his outside speed???

Good player and would have been a very handy addition. The fact the Hawks and the Cats are pulling out the stops tells you that. I think the only reason we’re in the conversation though is the 3rd year we’ve offered which is risky for 32 year-old so I’m not too fussed we missed out. Sounds like the club did all it could so no gripes from me on that score.

There are other options. My preference is Phillips followed by Polec.

Keep us posted @Dr evilon what the club is thinking now that it looks like the Smith deal has fallen through.

DrEvil will live and die by his predictions. I have links with the club but no mail offered to me this year. My last mail was we were heavily into Gaff. He never left WC so I looked silly. Will I post if I hear anything.....absolutely, it’s all good fun so let’s keep it that way ok.

I’m in a similar situation. Normally I get some good info but this year is crickets...

Re Gaff: the meeting with Goodwin wasn’t great. Gaff told him he wanted to play pure midfield and Goodwin told him he thought he was a wingman in our system. It never progressed from there.

Oh right, he's in a cats polo is he? hahaha seriously i know how badly people want me to be wrong about this, but wait and see. 

Good on you Dr! Keep punching buddy, you’ve added something we’ve needed this off season and best of all, even if none of it comes about, who cares, things do change until the contract is signed.

Well done @MadAsHell, that's a shoe-in to be a 'rumour' on trade radio tomorrow.

Morris is fairly well connected with Melbourne.

Wasn’t little Tom the soft c who ran the MFC podcasts, ran a story about Goody losing the players, was called out for a lie and then called in sick to interview Goody for the podcast the next week, and then made a call to “leave the podcast to focus on his career.”

If it happens that he goes to Geelong, isn't it just marvellous how the free agents keep going to top clubs. I suppose it gives him the chance to play in a premiership side though.....................Wait a minute

What's the punishment if i end up being wrong? (to be clear my vote is the suggestion from Pickett and Bitters)

What’s the backup plan If Smith goes to the geriatric cats?

Maybe Phillips a possibility??

Don't know that story in particular, but could be correct.

He worked for the club at one stage and yeah, didn't exactly endear himself in the end.

Keep it coming @Dr evil - I’m loving the rumours and everyone should be well aware that until the ink is dry, nothing is certain. I reckon your intel is very good and we have been in the box seat for Smith, but - things change and that’s life.

Will just give us another reason to hate Geelong - such a bunch of smug, vanilla footballers!

These things are always very fluid at this time of year with a lot of variables and different influences.

A week ago the information I had was that there was a better than 80/20 chance that Smith would become a Demon. The last I heard on it  earlier in the week was that it was back to 50/50 because of two factors. One was the entrance of Geelong into the equation and the other was from the MFC side with other opportunities and possibilities opening up. 

I understand the deal is still on the table and that from MFC side, it is the final iteration.

Personally, I do not see value for money in a deal for Smith at this stage of hie career given our list at the moment..

If I’m Smith I honestly can’t see the need to join the cats and try to win a 4th flag. If he came to us and we won it he’d  be part of demon folklore and afl history. He’d be in a mentoring / leadership role as well and be extending himself in other ways as well. 
I def wanted him but there’s more time left in the trade period, let’s see what plan b looks like.

isn't the biggest knock on treloar his disposal? + im sick of us trying to sign players and repurpose them, particularly on the wing. if we want a wingman get phillips

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
