The guys on Demonology are disussing a Fox Sports update that stated the MFC is now favorite to land Judd

Did anyone see or the update?

Also in the paper today a punter tried to put down $25,000 on Judd going to the Demons

And finally, a rumour that Judds manager, Paul Conners, is holding a press conference at 4pm today

Anyone know anything?

    It's true. The 'ology blokes have confirmed it for themselves.

    So whats it all based on, or is it another tenuous rumour without naming anybody or having any evidence ?

    It appears that thread refers to a fox sports news report but nothing else is given ?

  • Quote

    From my reading there's no actual confirmation as only one person seems to have seen the report, Unless Raymond S did, but that's not clear from his post.

    I hope to hell it's correct but am taking this with some salt

    I saw it on Fox sports and they seem very confident that he will come to the Dees. They didn't seem confident on Collingwood though as they didnt have much to offer.

    Why get excited, if fox sports news said collingwood are red hot favs we would all be saying, journos just guess work so I guess it should still count here.

    the difference is that we fly under the radar usually... the fact that the low profile melbourne are now favourites according to the media says something

    Gee roll around 4pm. If its true surely that would be the announcement. Unless they would schedule a press conference to announce when they will be making the announcement.

    QFT. Its ok for Melb to be red hot favs, but when the Pies are, its all substantial BS that has no truth.

    The Judd rollercoasters going to be the end of me! I swear, each skerrick of information is giving me palpitations, and by the look of the posts, a fair few other Dees fans as well.

    The question I have with the Fox Sports report (as I have had with all info coming out) is, 'what is the basis for the assumption that we are now favourite'? Is it based on two day old conjecture (footy classified?) or new information?

    I'm still strapped in and holding the railing...

    Is there defiantly a 4pm press conference with Connors? if so its prob got nothing to do with Judd.

    As vanlo said, we get bugger all time from the media, who always resort to the 'Pies get what Pies want' argument when they have nothing genuine to share. That is why we get excited. Because we are NEVER the favourite for anything until the ink is drying on the paper. That is why this is different. For a News Broadcast to put us on this illustrious pedestal is unheard of.

    I'm pretty sure the press conference today is a myth. Judd is still in hospital I believe, and will be until tomorrow or Saturday.

    I have it confirmed by someone who either appeared on, or researches for the Long Lunch on Fox Sports that this indeed was the story.

    Have not heard anything about a source yet.

    Correct.

    While i'm still quietly confident he'll come to MFC, this reports like the millions written b4 it.

    Few days ago. Judd's certain to be a magpie.

    Few days b4 that. Judd's bound for Carlton.

    Journalist's are covering all angles so when he eventually chooses a club, they'll go, you got it first at Fox/HS/Age/bladder.

    As of 2.25 pm; nothing from fox sports! been watching the last 1/2 an hour.

    The so called press conferance is a furphey.

    "Sportingbet " re issued market with Carlton $1.75, Collingwood still $3.00 & MFC $3.50.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
