Something i've now heard from several people, so i thought why not post it in the rumour thread :)

Fair enough. I'm not having a dig when I ask, just curious if its a rumour, or a rumour of a rumour, or a rumour³?

Seems logical, I'd believe that 100%

It's a rumour. nothing connected to any form of inside knowledge or anything, i've just heard it from 3 different people now who all generally know a bit about what's happening, so thought it was worth sharing :)

Exactly what a rumour thread is for!

Clearly they don't rate Tom Mac.

They are looking for a key forward and this one is a youngster, while they could have had an experienced one

right away.

Seriously 'Red', why would they?

It's pretty obvious our FD doesn't rate him any longer either.

If I was them I would be going for the kid in this case.

Good kids who play KPF are worth their weight.


If I was North, there’d be no way I trade that pick to the Scum. Get McDonald for themselves and have him partner Larkey for the next decade.

I wish we could resolve our Wing situation...and perhaps soon.

Once upon a time, I did see a rumour...

You’d hope they think this way, they are not exactly flushed with KPF talent

I meant they could have had both. One to develop and one ready to go now with experience.

Could be funny if Tom gets his best form back.

I would be great if he did...would make a lot of us including me look stupid but I wouldn't mind.

Actually, if he loses more weight as he is doing and gets his foot right, there is no reason he can’t play decent footy.

Actually, if that happens then I think it says more about the coaching than it does about TMac

The Sounding Board today Hutchy and Barrett seemed confident Collingwood made their salary dump because they have Petracca "on the hook" for next year's free agency period.

And by on the hook they mean they reckon Collingwood would be interested in arguably the best player in the AFL as would every other team.

I am confident that Melbourne have Petracca on the hook and by on the hook I mean he will sign a multi-year deal with the Dees prior to the free agency period.

Doesn't surprise me. Petracca has the Jeremy Howe about him..

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
