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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atĀ Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.Ā
