Apparently on a truck load of money as the contract goes on. Back ended and pies maybe looking to invest in a key forward. Not many win a flag without a key forward.

    He is going to gold cast, just playing hard to get so he and his manager can attempt to drive up his value. That's my opinion

    You should put the opinion proviso part at the start of the otherwise seemingly definitive statement. I'll show you an example: 'In my opinion he is going to the Gold Coast, just playing hard to get so . . .' etc. followed by any other random speculation you wish to include. I don't mean to be a [censored], but the world will be a much better place if everyone just followed these simple rules.

    I get the feeling the Pies see a chance of pick 5 and a young key forward in the draft and the Suns see the chance of getting a gun mid when they've had a heap of picks as is.

    His biggest flaw is rushed disposal. His second biggest flaw is availability. But the deal makes too much sense for both clubs not to look at.

    As much as we need an injection of inside pace I don't think he's what we need or worth the risk.

    He is 100% gone from the Pies. 

    Collingwood suggested they would facilitate a trade up north to go with his family, he has turned around and said he wants to be strictly traded to a Melbourne based club

    you can't seriously be complaining about the order in which something is written ... time for you to go to bed after your glass of milk

    Again, it would be great if this was prefaced with 'In my opinion', or 'I've heard', or 'I've been reliably told by a solid source', or 'I read on Bigfooty that' etc.

    Does it really make a difference if I say I have a reliable source ? My source is quiet high up at Collingwood & always is on the money with his tip offs so I'd take this too the bank (as Robbo once said)

    A big no from me. Is a massive gut runner but is possibly the biggest butcher by foot in the AFL. Particularly on the money he is on. 

    At least he gains territory, I reckon he would play similarly to langdon but with more pace

    Langdon is pinpoint in comparison, granted I think he also improved markedly over the season. I dont see the point of gaining territory if it just comes straight back over your head.

    Langdon is not pin point. Literally coughed up an opportunity to goal to pass off with no pressure against essendon as one recent example.

    A year would be okay, 2 maybe, 3 a big no.

    It does help if you note the general nature of the source - not that I would expect you to divulge the second part. But the response (admittedly grumpy - pre-trade time does my head in) was in respect to constantly having to determine if statements in these threads are mere speculation or derive from gleaned information. I acknowledge that you provided some further detailed info which would help to deduce the latter, but I don't know if this is being repeated from the radio or somewhere else or whatnot. Anyway, thanks for sharing what you've been told. It is appreciated.

    Yes - if you have mail, or you're suggesting you have mail, I think it's fair to indicate that. Separate yourself from those who are just speculating with their own opinions.

    It's true some (myself included from time to time) will question your sources, but if you do have a good source, I'd prefer to know when you're passing on info vs when you're just offering your own opinion.

    Wanted him a few years back, but his contract is too big for us if we want to keep Petracca and Oliver happy.

    Very strange from the Pies. They Liked him enough to trade him in. He has gotten better if anything with the pies and now they’ve basically told him to [censored] off? Not great player management. Some injury concerns but he has some good years left. They must have their eyes on a big trade. Or maybe it is cap space for De Geoy?

    sidebottom and pendels are really getting on. Beams and Treloar gone too. Bit light on in the middle. And Grundy struggling too

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
