Have just got back from a social event where I got talking to a very well known footy journalist. He didn’t give much away, other than Jackson is gone, providing Freo can find two first rounders. He b

Firstly, let me congratulate the Dees for another extraordinary trade period.    For those wanting to know who the KPF Melbourne is after.  Its Mitch Georgiades.  We have super currency next y

Saying that Taylor has an awful record outside the top 2 rounds is like saying that Tony Lockett has an awful record outside of taking marks and kicking goals.

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?

I agree with this unless your name is Matt Rendell and you just go blabbing on the radio.

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

GNF said a contracted KPF. I'm trying to join dots as to realistic yet decent KPF. Schache and Bruce are not the answer...

Technically we got a KPF, not sure if he was contracted or not.

But in all seriousness we need some banter/scuttlebutt this time of year. I don't care if it's fake news or not. We should all understand a lot happens this time of year and not everythign happens.

Some are taking the P!55 but not sure why some take it so personally.

It was not Shache.  

If we don't land the KPF we have been targeting I will let DL know at 8:30pm who it is.  If we don't get him this year I am certain we will try again next year.  He has been on our radar since he was a junior even touring the club as a16yo. We were to take him in our next pick in his draft year but were beaten to him.  

The club see this player and JVR as the perfect two pronged KPF future.

That's sounding like Lynch. Taken before the Lucas Cook debacle.

From memory you mentioned a similar situation last year, and it was Tim Membrey. Him again?

It's Georgiades and would love it to happen/be true.

I would be surprised.  Eagles couldn't prise him out of Port as part of the Rioli deal and Georgiades is from WA.

But could also be, if it’s true, that he might want  to go to a team in the window?

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
