Dunkley has just formally requested a trade which if the dog do a trade with ess they will get another 1 maybe 2 first round picks which would mean I think they would be even more happy to except the above trade.

No way, Dodoro will offer pick 92.

People talking about our culture, that from Dunkley is a massive indictment on the Doggies supposed culture.

Well...... apparently Mahoney will not last beyond years end, Tmac for Polec, both McDonald's want a trade, club wants pick 9 for McCrae, we're after a young quick Saints player and some still think Burgo is leaving soon...

From a semi-reliable source, well, er... not really

TMac clearly close to being traded  

OMac obviously going to be traded or delisted  

Wait and see what we do with trading to get up the draft ⏸️

Trade period is still going (Saints player) ⏸️

Widely reported Burgess was nearly poached. Crows balked at his enormous contract, Dees have held him to it  

It's weird, I've not seen you one single time reply to the massive amount of correct info I've posted.

Perhaps one day when you contribute something other than snarky comments about people on the internet you might just become a useful poster here. Until then tho.... ?

Jeez champ. You’re just so childish at times it’s cringeworthy.

Why didn’t you either comment on his post or simply ignore it?!

Apparently some can change the goal posts while others, like @Dr evil, can't.

Gotta love trade period.

Bing on a footy unrelated topic. Are you still in Francais?  If so how are you holding up. How is it over there? Things are looking pretty tough virus wise. How's the riding going?

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.

Rumour has it that buddy wants out of Swans looking for a 4 year deal.

Coaching/Development role or as more a talent scout?

Serious question - is that what you’ve heard?

I rate Mahoney - I’d be disappointed if this is the case.

I'd trade places with you if I could.

To paraphrase PJK-I'll be off to Europe!

The last time I was in Paris people were generally struggling mentally anyway. I think they always do.

Ricky Nixon has dumped more rumours tonight than the Democrats have dumped random votes for Biden in the American presidential race. Here they are -

• Jeremy Cameron – Talks between the Cats and Giants have come to a grinding halt, with GWS insisting on receiving players – not picks – which makes sense given the mass exodus from there.   This is the usual stand off around a player such as Cameron. GWS have said they want two players in return for Cameron believed to be Esava Ratugolea and Sam Menegola ... GWS have put four year deal on table to Sam Menegola.

• Three Victorian clubs are sitting back watching closely on the Jeremy Cameron deal they are the obvious Carlton Essendon Collingwood.   All ready to trump up with a better deal than what Geelong can…….so does Geelong trade Ratugolea and Menegola……I would definitely not trade Menegola…..now way 

Essendon talks strongly going around pick 7 will head to the Western Bulldogs in return for Josh Dunkley talks Bulldogs keen to use pick 7 and try and lure Adam Treloar to the club defiantly watch this space round this deal.

• For me St.Kilda the obvious place for Treloar where he can contribute to them finishing above Collingwood again this year.

• Saints boss Simon Lethlean says that contrary to reports Jack Higgins has not made any intentions of a move to St Kilda (that might be true but he left off the part that they have had discussions with him at length……might want to get in quick because Carlton real keen ... real keen.

• Sainter Seb Ross now linked to a three year deal at Essendon. 

• I hope it’s not true that Carlton have offered Zac Merrett  the most ridiculous deal I’ve ever heard of 6 years at 900+ ... just a little warning if true Carlton don’t spend up too big on Cripps backups and lose the lad back to WA 

• Daniel Talia – Essendon in to him, as source believes he could be on the move as Adelaide look to gain currency for him now rather than dealing with a potential free agency hassle next season. Crows footy boss Adam Kelly, however, says he’s a “required player”. Contracted until 2021 despite Essendon has offered him two-three years on table for him after he wants to return back home to Victoria.

• Harry McKay – Essendon made a play at the key forward, but neither Carlton nor McKay are entertaining a move. Contracted until 2021 and he wishes to stay at Carlton next year.

• Matthew Scharenberg – Had been mulling over a return to his native South Australia after falling out of favour in 2020, but has since been delisted so will definitely try to earn a lifeline with the Crows. Delisted free agent.

• Josh Thomas from Collingwood linked to three clubs Gold Coast Sydney GWS showing interest around him the last couple days talks going around he could be set to stay at the pies next year.

• Jayden Laverde only one club the last 24hrs have questioned his playing movements is believed to be North Melbourne.

• Shaun McKernan – Will sign with the Saints as the news I broke 2 weeks a go and lots of Saints fans saying it wont happen….BANG. Delisted free agent talk is one-two year deal on table.

• Brandon Matera three clubs the last 48hrs having been expressing interest in him talks believed to be Adelaide Hawthorn West Coast showing interest in him.

• Mason Wood been linked two clubs Sydney and Carlton as delisted free agent. 

• Jake Carlisle – Had fallen out of favour at points, but Brett Ratten has since claimed he will be offered a new deal. Hawthorn tried desperately to get him across after Hawthorn offered him three year deal talks Carlisle will stay at St Kilda talks two years have been offered to him from St Kilda.

• Nick Hind – Essendon are making a play at the small forward as a replacement for Orazio Fantasia. Out of contract, not a free agent.

• Jack Lonie – Fell out of favour at points in 2020 looks likely to seek a new home – although St Kilda want to keep him. Carlton and Collingwood came knocking last time he was out of contract, but the Western Bulldogs are reportedly the most interested club this time around. Out of contract, not a free agent. Western Bulldogs have asked to meet with Lonie this weekend. 

• Paddy McCartin has been asked from Essendon to have a discussion with them two clubs showing huge interest in him believed to be Carlton and Sydney talks David Teague is absolutely wrapped with Paddy in the meeting with him.

• North Melbourne Coach - Michael Voss been linked to three to four year deal as coach talks North strongly keen on Voss and he has had fair few discussions with the club personally I don’t think Michael knows what way to go.   Also talks that Gary Ayers and Mark Williams have also had chats with the club as well but Ross Lyon no interest as he has an eye on an Ess or Coll etc.

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

• Tom Hickey looks set to nominate Sydney from West Coast three year offer on the table to him talk is he’s told the west coast players he wishes to be traded.

Jordan Clark linked to a three year deal at Fremantle talk Geelong is trying put a deal on the table for him to stay at Geelong.

• Ben Brown after nominating Melbourne he has passed medical for Melbourne that deal will be done now that Melbourne got the results back talk four-five years on table for him.

• GWS have asked Essendon the only way Jye Caldwell deal will get done would see a late 1st round pick to see that deal done.

• Lachie Shultz looks set to stay at Fremantle.

• Three clubs showing huge interest in Peter Wright is North Melbourne Essendon Collingwood Collingwood still front runners for him as far as doing a trade but sources close to Wright tell me he’s a mad Pies Fan and prior to him getting drafted Collingwood said they’d nominate him but they didn’t and this is a strong reason Wright aint super keen on them at the moment 

• Tom McDonald the last 48hrs GWS have shown interest talks going around two club race for him now is between Essendon and North Melb 

• GWS will trade Zac Langdon to West Coast for pick 54.

• Jack Stevens from Geelong been linked to North Melbourne talks Geelong keen offload Stevens pay him out for next year talks could force him to retire depending offer on North Melbourne.

• West Coast officials set to hold Zoom Meeting with Alex Witherden.

• Two clubs race for Luke Dunstan from St Kilda are Carlton and Adelaide.

Wow, what a post Pinball.

Most interesting to me, is the fact that the same clubs are bidding on nearly every available player, with seemingly no problem with their salary caps. These clubs have also recruited heavily last year, obviously offering lucrative contracts to get their new players.

How do they have so much cap room?

I thought Collingwood were interested in Tommy? No mention of Phillips I think he will be part of the deal that secures Tommy.

Collingwood’s Ned Guy said that the Pies aren’t interested in TMac. I think that means they can’t afford him.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
