It’s a fact he got told this Saty. There is a subtle difference. 

That's true. (Well to be precise, it's a fact he says he was told.)  But on the other hand so many people seem to have a 'source'. No way of knowing how good the source is or even  if people aren't just making it all up. 

We need an impartial scoreboard of who got things right about such things in the past and who didn't.   Good luck with that.

Binman is right - this is getting unreadable.

I’ve been told by most of my football following friends that all of Oliver, Petracca and Pickett are definitely gone. They’ve also suggested Goodwin is a dud, the club is a joke, the window was never open, the flag doesn’t count as it was in Perth and none of it matters anyway as I’ll be at the snow. One seriously continues with the line that the Doggies were the better team in 21 and hadn’t it been for a few pivotal free kicks they would have won the flag. 
 

 

I think we have the same friends.

Back it up a notch fella. It's a beautiful morning. Take a walk in the sun and breathe in some fresh air. 

Some of these responses to a perfectly reasonable take are baffling considering there have been so many worse meltdown comments this week.

I understand that people love a certain member of the cheersquad and it hurts their feelings when they read these things about them but it's not right to parade around this position of power and strength and then spread stuff around. I'm pretty sure there are rules here against it.

Yep.

Some absolutely trash posting. Playing the person not the ball. 

And of course it's all the usual suspects.

Makes the site bordering unreadable.

Embarrassing really as I presume such posts are from adults. 

Must be others because I'm not playing the person, I'm sure they are nice people. We're not stupid though and when cheersquad members are present in board and football department meetings then I'll listen.

I just reread this and realised I don’t have to leave Demonland to get these opinions, ain’t life grand!
 

Haha yeah and Petracca and Oliver were actually gone back then, the club is a joke and we don't have a home,  the flag was staged like the moon landing (All Perth residents were asked in the mail to keep it a secret from us)

Are you listening to those who say they have contacts? Because unless those contacts are on the Geelong board or football department they probably should be taken with the same amount of salt.

Is it only unreadable because the rumours are seen as negative towards the MFC? Are you ok with people posting that we are still actively trying to recruit Wade Derksen, even though Jason McCartney has publicly shut down any move?

Whilst the powers that be at the MFC have shut down Oliver being traded, I've no doubt that Oliver's management are still in discussion with the Cats to get a reasonable trade proposal on the table. And I'm sure that's where PF's rumour is coming from. If it doesn't eventuate, it doesn't mean that his rumour was incorrect.

Why because you simply don't agree with his opinion?? 

Put him on ignore then. Not for you to tell everyone else what they should and shouldn't do.

Sure, for the 7th time I'll say that those comments are likely nonsense as well.

All this source nonsense reminds of an episode a few years ago when I used to attend training regularly.

I discussed with the coaches, who were a bit sick of some of the interesting posts on here, and like myself looking for a bit of amusement so I posted something in a training report which was complete [censored] about a player.

The next day there it was being reported by a so called journalist word for word.

So you are the Club leak then Saty! 

[Demons1858 1,766]

Don't have a source .... but logical there was some level of interest in trading oliver on our side at some point ... mfc shut it down now ... but we have another 3 days of trade so being the cats they will try until the last day to make it happen ... l expect the same of mfc's pursuit of houston, if we want him and he showed some interest before then keep trying until the last day ... not that hard to believe without having tomato sauce

Of course AFL coaches would be concerning themselves with what was written on a fan forum.

I think this thread could go down as one of the worst DL threads ever. So much BS, so much anger and arguing over things we know so little about, so much disrespect. In a lot of posts it is simply toxic. 
We lost one of my favourite posters due to the disrespectful posting, and DL is now much worse for her loss, no matter whether you thought of her as a “happy clapper”, a breath of fresh air, or simply deranged (my favourite). 
Let’s not lose anyone else. We can do a whole lot better.
