Just rang Sportsbet

All the rumours that you shouldn't take note of are about the Dees, such as D Williamson's about Hansens parents for an example. There's none of those about any other club, they're all about the Dees.

I've named my source mate. Which is far more than what anyone else suggests. The guy who put the bet on has lived up the road from the Hansens all his life. Played footy with Ash at Northvale Football Club. I'd say its a fairly direct source. As I post this I am wearing a pair of WCE footy shorts courtesy of Ash Hansen. It should be noted.

For what its worth, when I heard on Friday that we were a shoe in I was still very sceptical. And even more so following the market shift for Collingwood. These deals are never done until they are signed off on.

Yes, and I was giving some credence to your post. Yet you took it the wrong way.

It's very tempting to believe every rumour that paints Melbourne in a positive light, and ignore every rumour that says he's not coming to our club.

If your source is indeed correct, and Judd's parents really did tell Ashley Hansen's parents that he is going to Melbourne, then that is probably as good a source as you are ever likely to get.

I know it might seem like a silly question, given that you are posting on a Melbourne website, but are you a Melbourne supporter?

I only ask because you're a brand new member of Demonland and you are wearing a pair of WCE shorts apperantly! ;)

David Williamson is one of the fruitcakes from Demonology

He enjoys long walks on the beach, going to the movies and playing scrabble with TGR

I'm happy to wear any shorts of any team. Especially when just going for a kick with mates. I am very much a Melbourne supporter. I am a moderator on Demonology, and an 11 year member of the MFC.

That's good to know.

I'm very very very much hoping that your source is proven right!

Ahh.. I don't think many people would have seen it that way. The only thing you gave credit to was the fact that all rumours are about Melbourne. Having said that.. you just keep telling us things we already know. Do you have any info regarding the late plunge on Collingwood?

Could you imagine the booing he will cop on queens bday match if he goes to the pies, He will feel like the biggest traitor and deservedly we'll make him feel like one. It would be so out of character for one of the greatest players to knock back playing for club he grew up supporting. If Judd goes to the pies he would be going for all the wrong reasons. In the true spirit of football he will be a demon. This will be a bad thing for the M.F.C if he goes to Collingwood, imagine the foul taste it will leave in our mouth if we have to think that our club isn't good enough for Judd an he had once dreamed of playing for us as a kid.

I feel ashamed that I don't have a mate that knows Clark Hansen.

Look, I can't win on any Judd rumour and it's doing my head in like everyone else. I've just waxed lyrical about why I reckon he'll be a Demon only to receiv info from 2 different people in the last 30 minutes that he prefers Collingwood. One of them with credible information. And yes, I won't divulge.

Does that mean he won't be a Dee ? No. Even if he prefers the Pies a deal still has to be done, etc. I know this doesn't help.

Exactly. As I have already mentioned to you, the club that Chris Judd will play for in 2008 could be undecided until the trade week, and may have nothing to do with his decision of club preference.

See.. It's not hard. What you just said then helped more than your summation. I'm not trying to bignote, I am like you, just bloody nervous about a player that could ridiculously change the fortunes of our club. More off field than on.

And Ive just been talking to two people who reckon there is still something to the Melbourne rumours. Enough to freeze up Sportsbet anyway.

Ian Johnson runs Channel 7 - he is instrumental in offering Twigley a job at seven. ANd what better way to feather both your channel and your footy team than to get the player and break the news first on your sports news?

The fact its on Channel 7 makes me quietly confident that its done and dusted. Sumich to the Blues means that Essendon are definately out.

Why do you say that? It could turn out like Ackermanis - we might not get him and be thankful - who knows... It would be very exciting if it is all true. Can someone ring up his parents already?

Cause I'm a negetive putz, that's why.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
