Tom Morris? i wouldn't believe what he tells you mate

Nah not Morris,

It’s not public knowledge who he goes for.

Melbourne was one of his teams he followed and reported on regularly back in the days he use to work for afl.com so if I dropped his name you know him.

    If GC17 don't pull their finger out and give us BH19 then all BP5 will be cooking is big fat nothing burgers.

    No matter how this ends up, I've absolutely loved the intel from DF

    And if BH ends up at the Dees, I reckon a Demonland HoF should be in order, with DF an inaugural member

    With two 2nd rounders coming back the other way.

    Yes, and Cameron was a free agent, 3 years younger than Trac, and on quite a bit less coin. In any case, what Geelong paid (13, 15, 20), is worth less than 7 & 8, if that's what's on the table.

    What ever happens Demon Forever has made this week a more enjoyable one to me just wallowing in how bad we will get skrewed the whole time.

    Remember, Rebellions are built on hope.

    But we are also giving picks back to GC.

    Jeremy Cameron went to the ferals for 2x 1st rounders and a future 1st.

    Yep and GWS gave picks back to Geelong too.

    Cameron went for 13, 15 & 20 with Geelong getting two second round picks back from GWS.

    So all in all not nearly as much as GC would be giving up for Petracca.

    So that's trading Tracc for pick number #6, and the right to deal them the points needed for their acadamy players.

    If that's the deal we get absolutely shafted and I expect to see Tracc back day one of pre-season.

    Let's hope Humphrey deal is done!

    I guess the theory would be we are only taking 3 picks in the draft so it ends up 6, 7 and White, but yea looks bad when u lose trac, Oliver, Judd and Spargo plus our 2nd round pick for that

    Cameron OOC though, makes all the difference

    Lachie Neale to Brisbane is the probably a more accurate reflection

    Sure - all I’m saying is that I’m pretty sure no club has ever given up two top 10 picks for a player before, no matter what the rest of the trade looks like.

    Was widely reported in the media back in June that Flanders was looking to move, and the only club mentioned in those reports was St Kilda. Someone knew.

    Do you have a link?

    Sure, which is why i suspect we'll accept a picks only deal rather than just walk him back in the door.

    I don't think we're going to get totally shafted, we'll still get some picks we can do a bit with

    Apologies @Demon Forever, if Trac was pushing this BBQ meat out prior to you pushing out your intel today from the toilet today. That would have been kinda rank….

    Lions paid six, 19 and 55, with 30 coming back to them. So kind of six plus a second rounder.

    Though there again, Neale was only 25 at the time, very different to trading someone who'll be 30 in a few months. Also, Lions weren't being saddled with a huge salary to pay.

    If we can hold onto 24 and 28 and get 7 and 8! It’s a great result for an ageing 30yo that can’t hit targets!

    It is a terrible result Dimma

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
