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.

    Never going to happen. 7 years left on his contract.

    signed up at gc17

    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.

    I reckon it's Naughton.

    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?

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are on the road for the next month and will be desperate to claim a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive against Port Adelaide.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
