So we don’t like Rohan and we’re not getting Martin. That’s a real laugh in (and unless you were around in the early 70s you simply won’t get this).

You lived through the 60's and remembered them; how dare you!

    Oh god, it's incredible isn't it. i guess the difference is my information doesn't come from facebook and bigfooty for whatever difference that makes. 

    No Facebook's information is better then yours, what have you revealed that hasn't been reported by 300 million other people already.

    I am hearing that the rest of the trade period is starting to come into focus for the MFC now that there has been more detailed discussion on a number of situations involving players.

    I understand that we have a bit more clarity on what might be on offer for both Hannan and Preuss and that marks a way ahead for us on a couple of other deals.

    I hear we are looking more closely at Phillips.

    Going by reports, it would be Andrew Phillips from the Dons.

    Edit - CHF said it was Tom, which could well be true, but we've also been linked to Andrew Phillips to fill the spot McKernan would have.

    I am hearing a lot of whispers about a number of players.

    My last post was the most solid I have heard from a usually reliable person. I will stress that it is still only A RUMOUR.

    I would rather not at this stage as I have witnessed how others have been jumped upon and have had to defend themselves.

    I will post further if anything more solid that a whisper comes up.

    I don't think people are too fussed if things don't eventuate. Only when they're speculative statements delivered as fact.

    We are looking at a few avenues to do this both during the trade period and during the draft with pick swaps. Best chance of it happening would be during the late stages of the trade period when there is a lot more clarity.

    If we do not get into the first round during the trade period I would not be surprised.

    People, let’s not forget that this thread is for rumours so you can’t get bagged for anything you post that doesn’t turn out. 

    For instance, nothing frightens Ricky Nixon who tells us that -

    • Tom Phillips from Collingwood just been linked to a three year deal at Hawthorn talks going around he will nominate Hawthorn. 

    • Stefan Martin from Brisbane after nominating Bulldogs talks two year deal for him.

    • Nathan Vardy talks he will stay at West Coast despite trade talks.

    • St Kilda have officially ruled out Adam Treloar leaves it for three club race for him Bulldogs strongly interested also hawthorn and Carlton interested talks Dogs set to make huge play for Treloar talks going around Western Bulldogs the only side with the interest with huge salary cap space for him out of all the team’s interested in him.

    • Tom McDonald still linked to Essendon talks that deal will most likely get done but talk is Essendon wanna drop down his wage to get that deal done. 

    • St Kilda coming out saying they want Nick Hind to stay talks Essendon set to make huge play for the speedster to add more pace to the forward line. 

    • Jye Caldwell deal is done deal after he nominating Essendon from GWS talks Essendon are waiting on discussing on nice deal and Jye and involving picks with GWS as well.

    • Jackson Hartley from GWS after nominating Adelaide talks they are discussing picks to get that deal done talks Adelaide suggested early second rd pick. 

    • Shaun Higgins from North Melbourne talks Geelong were going to offer pick 37 return talks North Melbourne they don’t want pick 37 for him they want in return round pick 25-15 mark in return for him.

    • Jack Higgins from Richmond to St Kilda talks St Kilda still showing strong interest talks Richmond now trying to lure him to stay at the club after Higgins and his management are keen to see interest from other clubs also talks Carlton and Hawthorn still showing strong interest in him.

    • Chad Wingard despite talks of him he has told the club he wishes to stay at Hawthorn.

    • Peter Wright from Gold Coast two minute Peter looks strongly likely to nominate Essendon after he is showing huge interest in the club.

    • David Mundy looks set to sign one year deal at Fremantle.

    • Andrew Phillips from Essendon back up ruckman has been linked to Melbourne talks Dees very keen on back up ruckman for Gawn.

    • Matthew Suckling talks he will stay at Bulldogs dogs very keen on him and he’s very keen to stay at the dogs he’s told the club he’s very happy at the club.

    • Kyle Dunkley looks set to sign at Essendon with Josh that deal will get done only if Josh will sign at Essendon they have told Josh about Kyle.

    I have to say however, that Ricky might be running out of steam. Nothing much new or controversial here.

    Pretty rough on all fronts. 30K - 50K new cases a day, and it's no longer abstract. 2 of the 3 in our household have had a week's isolation waiting for test results after being in prolonged contact with Covid cases. Scary and unsettling. Now all locked down again, all work cancelled, smallish govt $$ handout, but not the same. People generally struggling (mentally), and heading into winter isn't helping. Sorry to be so gloomy. As for riding, limited to 1 km radius/1 hour. But still better than last time where there was no riding at all, so I'm managing to knock myself around riding up and down suburban streets.

    Feel for you mate. Crazy times. Do you do any training on an indoor trainer. I do a session on Tacx with some mates every Sunday night. Ones in London 2 in Melbourne, me in Sydney. Connect on Zoom and ride the same course together on Tacx. You’re welcome to join.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
