Jesse Hogan coming home, given GWS targeting Cadman?

just need to put a little more detail on the table, or otherwise you are just trying to create the appearance of having connections. 
 

Mate, when I have given names in the past I get smashed when the deal does not eventuate.  In this case I have sworn to secrecy on the contracted KPF we have targeted since mid-season.

    Don’t expect a name, just a few more details rather than the current “the sun will come up tomorrow” prediction. Otherwise, there is no point saying anything at all.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's a tough gig being @Grand New Flag.

    Do you know what the hold up is? Convincing the player, or satisfying the player's club on a trade?

    Can we at least get a height range so we can be sure that they are tall?

    We may not be done! Apart from likely departure of Weeds we are working hard on a KPF. 

    Brace for a possible 6pm surprise!

    I wasn't going to pay too much attention to today but i'm genuinely intrigued now. There hasn't been a murmur in the press about us chasing a KPF so looking forward to see what unfolds

    Great thinking, so we can safely assume they are 195cm plus?

    Misses the easy ones. (Bruce)

    With absolutely no Information I would love us have a crack at Tim Membrey at St Kilda. Runs hard, takes a good contested mark and kicks goals and goes down back when needed

    One of my good friends was heavily involved with Carlton years back and flicked me a message that Jack Watts had just done a medical with them after about his third season with us.

    I scurried so excitingly to demonland to drop the massive news thinking I was the first with a scoop only to be politely correct by the demonland faithful that Mr Watts was indeed having a few frothies on an overseas end of season trip with the lads and I was in fact a goose.  

    I ended up giving my mate a call and just got the standard "lol" response which was deserved.

    A couple lads I know are working in similar circles now basically in their dream job.  They're always giggling at these rumours and keep their cards very close to their chests.

    If they were ever to leak out info about targets/trades, then it would be game over for the career.  So I always struggle to believe people when they're advised of these little scoops about contracted players or potential targets unless it comes from the target or there managers first.

    Loose lips sink ships..... and end careers.  Why would you?

    Mate let it go. This GNF vindictiveness is getting boorish.

    If we are letting Weid go, then perhaps GNF has something to it...but i would consider Bruce or Schache disasters and may as well have kept Weid.

    Why not go Ollie Henry

    Josh Bruce won't be going anywhere.

    His manager has already come out today and said that Bruce will be playing at the doggies next year and may look at even playing as a defender.

    There will be NO out of the blue recruitment of key forwards. Schache will join the dees which has been well reported in the media for the past 2 days now.

    SEN had Josh Bruce's manager on this morning and he couldn't possibly be any more adamant that Bruce will be a dish licker next year.

    Ben King would be an interesting one. The only KPF in contract that I would've expected as gettable.

    Which is a disaster. I do not see ANY point given we have Weideman. Couldn't care less that he is a pick 2, he's never delivered at AFL level

    He signed a 2 year contract earlier this season, contracted to 2024

    • 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?
