GawnWithTheWind

Welcome Michael! Looking forward to seeing you stream out of the backline along side Melksham, Salem and Hunt. We now have a 'warchest' of HBFers that can seriously break the game open (TBC for melky)

No where in the riddlers post, does he/she say that this player is coming to us this year..... Maybe this post will go on for 12 months!?

I heard somewhere Eric McKenzies family huge dees supporters. West coast = ocean bound eagles = wings Eric knifes = butter spreading abilities

Where has the riddler gone? We need another clue or a confession that this was all for his/her 'laffs. If it was, well played

Wooooo this is great! Welcome JL

I think the Jon Griffin call is a good one.

Ooo yep, great call. So we are down to Swans, Crows, WCE, Brisbane, Freo, GC, Port.... or all interstate clubs besides GWS.. haha

Fight fight fight fight!

Swans, Crows, WCE, Brisbane, Freo, GC, Port, North, Hawks... We are getting warmer!

Apparently it was in Watsons Bay, NSW? Swiss cheese...

Nothing personal at all. GD credibility will naturally drop if in fact Rockliff has not had a medical at MFC over the last 12 hours. The fact that he seems to be on a boat in the sun, on his own insta, backs up the fact that it is unreliable. If someone reads something that is quite clearly BS, I'd rather them call it out then continue to believe there's a chance the rumour is true.

If you are willing to pass on information from your source, you become not reliable if your source is not reliable. Its pretty simple.

Riddler, has no one guessed correctly yet?

Generation Dee is back peddling at an alarming rate... There goes your cred.

I'm calling BS on that. Shoulders have never been a reason to avoid a player, look at Judd.

Hopefully we can get this done today, to focus on Hibberd today/tomorrow. Then spend the last day and half on any random deals, like Rockliff, etc.

Riddler, give the crowd another clue!!

Butter + wings = butterflies? Surely d'land has a resident butterfly expert who can find a species name that is also a players name...

Robbo and Jay Clark confirming Lewis has selected Dees over GC for 3 years. Low pick (means 3rd or 4th) to get the deal done. Hopefully they get it done tomorrow and move onto Hibbo.

Robbo has tweeted that no chats have been had between lions and dees (yet). He isn't normally that straightforward unless he has some intel. I guess they have 4 days to turn the rumour into fact. FWIW my feeling is he won't leave lions

Until Lewis or his management have said he's staying at the hawks, this is still every chance. The only people to downplay this has been hawthorn, and they have every reason to do so. He'd definelty help our mids in the short and long term.

Next year is next year.... surely Mahoney and co have something in the works, otherwise the Hibberd deal would be done. Tippet makes sense, and I'd be all for it. Seems odd that we aren't publically looking at hrovat, stevens, lyons, motlop. They'd all have a spot on our list IMO.

There is no way they are letting go of Fantasia for a third rounder.... And there is no way we enter the draft in the 4th round.

I wonder if the dees were plan B for Mitchell? Clarko said, "WCE and Dees want you as a playing assistant, you choose and we do the right deal"

FWIW... afl.com.au's take on the speculation.. Draft selections: 26, 44, 62, 80 Unsigned free agents: N/A Delistings/retirements: Jack Grimes, Matt Jones, Dean Terlich AFL.com.au says: Michael Hibberd is first on the shopping list with the club and player committed to each other. Selection No.26 should be enough to get Hibberd, although Essendon has been historically tough to deal with at trade time. Beyond that the Demons are expected to be relatively quiet, with Jesse Hogan's signature remaining a priority. Although the industry was abuzz last week that he had re-committed, both parties poured cold water on that speculation. The Demons will want another ruckman to support Max Gawn while they are open to trading Lynden Dunn to the Brisbane Lions.
