Demonland

meaning footy fan boards (and footy fans on twitter)?

Has this rumour had any traction in the media? Seems only DL and Bigfooty are talking about it. Usually when there's actual smoke the media is usually fanning the flames and I can't see any of the usual suspects talking about this.

Word.

I take all whispers with a grain of salt. Even reliable sources information can change or not come to fruition.

We will have no currency to get Rockliff (if it's even a possibility) after the Lewis deal unless we dare use next years draft currency.

AFL Trade Radio put forward this 2017 team for us.

I don't usually like stirring the pot but ....

Displayed some good form in the very early part of the season but injury saw him out and back in the VFL on his return. Had some opportunities but failed to hold his place in the face of opposition from the younger breed of players at the club and has now been delisted.

The convert from basketball surprised many at Casey with the way he adapted to the sport to the point where he is not far away from getting a game at the higher level.

The former rookie established himself as a regular in the team and collected a NAB Rising Star nomination along the way. Also proved to be versatile in that he was able to provide run off half back and also kick goals when moved forward.

No he wasn't. This pic was posted in September 2015. Therefore he must have been coming to us since September 2015.

The surprise packet of the year, Wagner was given an early opportunity in defence and was a consistent performer for most of the season before his form tapered off a little at the end. A good chance to be promoted to the main list. Games MFC 2016 14 Career Total 14 Goals MFC 2016 0 Career Total 0 Games CSFC 2016 3 Goals CSFC 2016 1 Keith "Bluey" Truscott Memorial Trophy 158 votes

The rookie listed rebounding defender with the long raking left foot had a consistent season with the Scorpions and was given a couple of AFL games but the jury remains out as to whether he can make the next step up.

The club's quiet achiever, Jetta is an important cog in the team's defence, often being called upon to counter the opposition’s most damaging small forward. His rise at the club is remarkable for one whose career was at the crossroads a few years ago when delisted and given what was considered as a final opportunity on the rookie list.

After playing the first three games of the season, the 24-year-old suffered a recurrence of an ankle injury suffered in the NAB Challenge and missed the next five weeks. The injury was managed but flared up from time to time and he was clearly restricted as a result. Had surgery to fix the problem at the end of the year.

After an outstanding first season with Demons in 2015, Garlett failed to match that consistency although when at his best was still capable of winning matches off his own boot.

The Hawks got their man but there were two Mitchells in their camp for only five minutes. Sam might be small but he's left some big shoes to fill.

PART TWO - FOR GOD'S SAKE ... SOMEBODY SEND US THE STEAK KNIVES !!! In my dream a full five days have elapsed since the wheeling and dealing started. Everything moves ever so slowly ... every movement is in slow motion and most of the people are speaking in words slurred as if they are half drunk. There's one person in the room who looks out of place. He's wearing a brown and gold coloured jacket and smoking a Cuban cigar as he deals from a pack of cards to half a dozen faceless men. The smoke from the cigar rises and curls in the air. He draws the Jack of Hearts, shows it to the other players, places the card face down and grabs the notes that sit in the middle of the table. There, he's just moved Brad Hill and Sammy Mitchell to clubs in WA. In comes Ty Vickery and Tom Mitchell. On the face of one of the notes he just picked off the table the words "NAB National Draft Selection # 10" appear. He turns over another card and it's the King of Diamonds but the face is familiar - that of Jaeger O'Meara. Lurking furtively in the shadows around a corner, I get a fleeting glimpse of someone else now running out of the room. Could it be Jordan Lewis? He disappears from view as the gambler deals his next card. The Ace of Clubs. I turn around and there's a skeleton sitting at the card table. I wake in fright. Leaving aside the frenetic activity of the Hawthorn Football Club, there hasn't been much going on over the past five days of the free agency and trade period. Collingwood picked up a couple of unrestricted free agents, St Kilda and Fremantle (not Carlton) were the first to claim players from the GWS Giants and the Saints have exchanged draft picks with the Hawks. A week after Brisbane was gifted a priority pick, the Lions traded out national draft selection #2. How does that happen? And Melbourne? The Demons have apparently spent the last 120 hours negotiating with the Bombers over whether to hand over this year's second round pick or next year's. During that time the club's current best draft pick has moved back from number 26 to 29. We're going backwards and, after a whole week haven't even collected a single steak knife! DONE DEALS SO FAR: Tyrone Vickery moves from Richmond to Hawthorn as a restricted free agent Daniel Wells moves from North Melbourne to Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent Cam McCarthy, pick 7, 34 and 72 move from GWS to Fremantle in exchange for pick 3 Chris Mayne moves from Fremantle to Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent Brad Hill traded from Hawthorn to Fremantle in exchange for pick 23 Pick 3 and 16 traded from GWS to Brisbane in exchange for picks 2, 31, 51 and 60. Jack Steele moves from GWS to St Kilda in exchange for their 2017 future round two pick Sam Mitchell, pick 54 and 72 traded from Hawthorn to West Coast in exchange for pick 52, 70 and 88. Tom Mitchell and pick 57 traded from Sydney to Hawthorn in exchange for pick 14 and 52 Pick 10 and 68 traded from St Kilda to Hawthorn in exchange for Hawthorn's 2017 future first pick, and this year's picks 23 and 36

I don't think this trade will happen today (if at all). Until we hear from Lewis or his manager I guess we're still in the hunt. Anything we hear from Hawthorn is damage control. I'm happy that there is nothing coming out of the Demons camp.

I think you're right. I might need to take him out to dinner first.

I've also offered him a moderator position at Demonland. Have not heard back yet.
