Would be great to have a single thread where those who feel they have an inside word on trade gossipĀ have a place to share itĀ free of argument or discussion etc. Sauces are great but not necessary. I get tired of constantly opening the individual player threads every day hoping for some news and it's just people bitching about Simon Goodwin and the credibility of other posters. Put it here and we can all just accept it or dismiss it and move on, even if it's in riddle-form. For the record I have zeroĀ links to the club whatsoever, but appreciate other posters who take the time to pass on what they've heard, whether it's credible or not.Ā

    Always happy to here the latest gossip. Get a bit sceptical though if an individual poster only hears negative info about the Dees.

    Not so much now but we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. Media loves a disaster story and we have given them lots over the years. Funny because when I see a headline about us I immediately think oh what's wrong now!Ā

    We have thrown in KK too. We will also receive Andrew Brayshaw as a sweetener!

    @YokozunaAny news?Ā 

    I am trying to find some.

    Not anything specific at the moment, other than what we know already in regards to us chasingĀ a key forward and some more outside skill.

    Doing due diligence on Ben Brown but seem keen (as we know).

    COVID isnt helping me in finding more news at this stage.

    I did suggest my source should go and tell the club that we should be chasing Whitfield!

    How could Collingwood who have to fit De Goey et al into the salary cap possibly pay Brown as well.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the Ā Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measlyĀ 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?Ā  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
