Yeah I make it up.. cus as a workaholic, 4 kids, a huskey and an unhealthy reading habit I have time to make things up for the reason of.. if dunno.. catfishing???

 

I report what I hear and always have/will, and even then it’s a MINUTE amount, sooo much gets thrown up and tossed aside, some of the crazy stuff I don’t list ends up true ie Grundy mid last year. The more you Know peeps in the industry the more you realise how much is muted about, go watch the player agent docos — LOADS of stuff gets leaked and talked about. My rule is if it’s single source, unless directly club linked I don’t share — if it’s same topic multiple ppl then I share, but even that’s limited! Go ask any afl list manager how many players per year they talk to agents of or to other clubs about.. it’d be 30+ EVERY year 

Don’t even listen to downiedavey, he’s the biggest flop since Mason Cox

    Part trade rumour/ part trade anxiety: I worry about Petty’s name coming up during the period.

    Some murmurings of Adel throwing his name in the mix for McAdam trade (which we all scoffed at) but if you think about it, as a rare, flexible tall who is on the up, I’m pretty sure his market value would be much much higher than his current pay packet… 

    Also you’d expect our plan is to groom him a forward to suit our needs… who’s to say that doesn’t suit him?

    Not a rumor but just wanted to ask what are we going to down about replacing Grundy?

    Can't really afford to bring in a trainee with Max getting on a bit.

    Also it's much more preferable to also get an established big bodied fwd  or two with Tmac and Bbb futures  in doubt.

    Fix those three problems successfully and I'm confident we will make top four again.

    I hope we are up to something on a number of fronts:

    coaching replacements and switches - forward and midfield coaches, new ball movement plans.

    Some better ball users and elite talent (both new via draft and trading in).

    Ruck replacement for Grundy, if he goes as planned.

    KP players for FB, CHB, CHF.

    No rumours here, but if what the jungle drums are signalling (by no signal), I hope we are going to make a big splash this trade/draft period.

    I'm coming around to the idea of throwing a 2 year peanuts deal out to Levi Casboult. Can play ruck, back and forward, is great in the air and should have no issue spending time at Casey. Plus we wouldn't even need to play him in the ruck at Casey so as not to interfere with Farris-White and Verrell's development, however could walk straight into ruck in the seniors should Max get injured.

    chol is the one on the market, and he's going to north - i suspect as part of the deal for their new magical future firsts for pick 4 etc.

    I mean who if they left and came to the Dees would cause the Big Bang the email suggests? 
    Nick Daicos. 
    Luke Jackson 😂

    Grulden?

    Big Bang?

    Not that many I would have thought. Given a key forward is where we’d try to splash, even fewer. Cameron, Oscar Allan or one of the King twins probably the only one’s Big Bang worthy. Naughton wouldn’t quite get to that level for me.

    It seems the done deal is Grundy to Swans.

    Must be relatively simple if as agreed upon as it appears. Do we not even know what that trade is?

    Demonland intel is broken.

    I’ll pretend I know something…

    Grundy +p24 for p11

    Oh. And no chance Nth get p3 for McKay, sets unworkable precedent.

    That would be an incredible win for us, but I don't see it happening.

    Don’t even joke about that. The only way we’d let him walk from a 7 year contract is if we were given picks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Even then we’d probably ask for 11 too.

    What’s a big move?

    Trading for pick 1?
    Trading for pick 4?

    Targeting a key forward (feels like we’ve covered them all. But I’ll add a name if we’re just taking wild guesses , Riley Thilthorpe)?

    How about trading for midfield class? 

    Can we convince Tim Kelly and his partner to come give Victoria another go and play finals rather than rebuild at 29?

    Can we convince Zach Merrett that Essendon aren’t going anywhere?

    Richmond need picks to kickstart a rebuild, what if we offer the world for Shai Bolton?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
