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!

    Let's get real and breakdown mail from rumours.Ā

    Preuss - GWS request, Player has requested. It has been suggested that his going price will beĀ a late 30's, early 40's pick

    McDonald T - likely staying unless a good deal comes for him, Rumour only

    ANB - trade bait but heard nothing specific, Rumour only

    Hannan - WB interest,Ā Rumour only

    Jetta - coll interest,Ā Rumour only

    Ā 

    In's?

    N Hind - rumour. Agreed.

    C Hooker - read that he could seek a move possibly toĀ Melbourne. First I've heard of it.

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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demonsā€”but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players."Ā This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday nightā€™s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes.Ā He wasnā€™t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this weekā€™s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals.Ā But donā€™t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- ā€œThey canā€™t run. If you canā€™t run at speed and get out of the contest then youā€™re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithyā€™s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and itā€™s 1Ā½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.Ā
