"is it true" is a pretty poor way to start a rumour thread. Its even worse than "I've heard a whisper" . Who is Sam Faff for a start.

I refuse to raise my hopes. But I cant help it...they've just been frikn raised. Curse you Sam Faff!

    10 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    reckon sam is barking up the wrong tree / looking at the wrong meth coke key forward

    i thought it was waterman we'd made a decent off to?

    Hmm it does say Captain.....

    Either would work for me,

    Would be perfect as shown on Sunday. Given he is still in contract and an RFA at the end of 2025 wondering what it would take to get him? F1 & FFI? Playing as a 26 year old next season it would have to be a 5 year contract on money commensurate to Angus',  perhaps even North of that. Does he ruck at all?

    Liam Duggan is co-captain with Allen.  He is a Victorian so more likely than Allen who hails from WA.

    WCE website on Duggan:

    The highly respected clubman was elevated to co-captaincy alongside Oscar Allen in a changing of the guard at the end of 2023, following several impressive seasons as a tough and reliable on-field contributor. A beacon of consistent effort, Duggan was deployed through the midfield and in his more traditional defensive role depending on need as injuries hit hard, and was rewarded with his first podium placing (third) in the John Worsfold Medal while also receiving Life Membership after notching 150 games in blue and gold. In three of the past four years, Duggan has finished top-five in the Club Champion count and the 27-year-old is charged with helping to lead the young Eagles squad back towards more familiar territory at the higher end of the ladder. At a glance: Junior club: Bacchus Marsh (VIC). Debut: Round 2, 2015. Recruited from: Western Jets (VIC), Brownlow votes: 2.

    A good candidate for the Brayshaw role, perhaps and cover for other star midfielders.  The 'bold' part could be a description of what Gus meant and means to us and how he played.

    I might add he is OOC this year and is an Unrestricted FA ie can go wherever he likes and WCE can;t match.  No trade required. 

    Would be a great get.

    Two Oscars for an Oscar.

    1. Oscar McDonald busted knee and all is at least ‘Way out West’ 🎸

    2. Oskar Baker has the matinee idol looks and is definitely west of the Maribyrnong.

    Love for it to happen. But doubt even the Hollywood dream machine could concoct this fantasy.

    I wouldn’t be starting a thread based on a tweet from one of the worst people on footy twitter who’s paid for his blue tick.

    I don’t think the Eagles would ever entertain moving Allen. Worst case scenario as a restricted free agent in 2025 you match the deal and force a trade or accept a low compo pick. But he’s their young star, captain etc.

    The Waterman story has more legs. They low-balled him last year and his brother has already played in Melbourne. Whilst they have the cap room they probably don’t need 2 star forwards in a deep rebuild and there’s less guarantee that he backs up this years out of the box run of form next year. If they get a deal good enough (and it would have to be really good) I could see them moving him now.

    So who will start the Liam Duggan Thread ?  🙃🤷‍♀️

    The ‘sauce’ also says he will become the highest paid player in the game so he’s not referring to Duggan

    Duggan seems much more likely than a guy who grew up in Perth.

    It’s 99.9% made up but no one is removing their coach for Liam Duggan.

    He just played wing for most of the game and Windsor and Langdon were 2 of the best on ground

    No sympathy for this powerhouse club that prior to the soft cap was spending $300k a week more than Melbourne - $15m a year

    They tanked after their drug-tainted 2006 flag to get the wooden spoon in 2010, were runner up in 2015 won a flag in 2017 and now back on the bottom of the ladder. People have short memories.

    Long may it continue

    Thanks.  Didn't see that anywhere.  Do the Eagles have anyone worth that much ... ?

    Still Duggan would be a good get as an UFA?

    So does our alleged offer to Waterman a strategic one to land Waterman or unlock Allen? Interesting timing that this comes out...

  • Quote

    Honestly would be shocked if Allan was to leave. But I would also pay an arm and a leg for him.

    Allan and Roo up forward is a premiership combo right there, with Kosi and Fritta. Yes please x 100.

    There were certainly rumours last year of us supposedly reaching out to Allen's management as there was some talk he was bit disgruntled with the club and us apparently set to offer a monster deal.

    Could be some truth to this. Not that I think this will grow any more legs pr eventuate, but I have no doubt we've probably done some background check.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
