Ben Brown thread on Demonland site to go over 120 pages. Still a few weeks to go 

But only about 5 pages of that is actually useful information.

    Our own Lachie Hunter thread has understandably gone cold.  Heard he might be seriously considering the warmer climate with a 2020 Preliminary finalist.  He is a gun player, no doubt, and will be only 26 yo when the 2021 season starts.

    If it's the Suns, then it makes sense why they are not interested in the expensive Treloar.

    Sorry didn’t see Preliminary Final mentioned. Just assumed Suns as that was the rumoured likely destination.

    This is absolutely rumour only but my Geelong contact reckons they have been in constant dialogue with Alex Rance for several months. Shaun Grigg is the conduit. Rance is currently living in Portarlington and keen to have another crack in the AFL.

    Could be complete BS as the text I saw claims interest in Isaac Smith is only a smokescreen...

    I have heard whispers of a possible trade.

    Nothing confirmed ( a long way from it) and information is very thin. I did hear it from two different people.

    TMac/VdB packaged with a 2nd round (this year or next) for their first round 2020.

    No idea where this originated.

    For who's first? GWS or Essendon?

    With which club?

    That would value both players as only a few spots upgrade in the draft. Obviously if true, a player hoped for in the draft and salary dumping.

    That would be Williams compo pick 10? Adelaide have GWS's first round pick 9

    Or the Cameron one

    Would be a shame to lose AVB but I would take that deal and run

    I wonder how much of the salary we’d be taking into next year for the package

    Need 10 or lower to get McCrae  if that's the target.

    Cameron might get matched, in which case Cats may meed to give up 13, 15 and maybe 20. Or a 3 way deal, eg cats get Jezza, GCS get 13, 15 and 20 (which will get pushed out further with academy bid matching), GWS get 5

    Daniher at pick 7 is a joke. Cameron is worth 5, easy.

    i imagine AVB is on decent coin coz sydney offered him the same length deal at the time iirc?

    with jones going on, already a stacked midfield and sparrow and jordon pushing through i have no issues with him leaving and we all know where we stand with tmac, but giants dont seem too keen? favouring jesse

    5 and change I would have thought. Cats got two 1st rounders, p24 & p37 for Kelly, p57 & a ‘20 third round pick in return. Cameron is getting close to a mill a year with a trigger for 6th year. The length of deal probably means they could match as there’s theoretically room to load in back end of deal.

    A fun read!

    I like this time of year when the rumours run thick and fast.  Whilst I’m sure many/most won’t pan out, none of them seem outside of the realms of possibility.

    Sounfs like Sydney are very keen on getting a tall forward in.

    Is that because buddy is fading fast?

    Would be surprised if he went across the other side of the country, being a local boy, unless there are no other offers.

    Wow, would be a decent pick up for the dogs.

    Any other info you're heading @demons11. Any word on Brodie Smith? or other tid bits you got?

    I am assuming our moves will be based on if Tmac stays or goes?

    If you’re asking questions and want serious answers, might I suggest that you don’t ask on a strictly rumour thread.

    but I am not asking for fait accompli information, I am interested if there is anything @Demons11 has heard around the traps

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
