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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sundayā€™s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when itā€™s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competitionā€™s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingā€™s Birthday.
