@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.

You only have to read the story about Dusty to GWS in 2013 where it was all agreed and in place but then "pulled from above" at the 11th hour, to know how these things play out.

Enjoying the updates Dr Evil so keep them coming. I don't mind the occasional furphy.

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.

The Dees will most likely offer him a 5 year contract now. That’s our specialty.

Morris is fairly well connected with Melbourne.

Is that the same Tom Morris who was given the boot from the MFC media dept. for leaking info that he shouldn't have.

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

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

Wow quite the tizzy about an ageing wingman past his best signing a 3 year deal

id prefer we look elsewhere

Keep coming with the rumours/inside word. You’re a new character to the madness of DL and I’m likin it

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
