regardless of what happens with Gaff its good to see that WC are looking like they may have some lean years

    That's even more fanciful than some of the trades that get mooted here. The Eagles would probably be lucky to get a late 1st round pick for Gaff, more like a pick in the 20s.

    You watch them pull players out of their arse though. Priddis came from nowhere and became a Brownlow medallist.

    Doubt it. They still have a core of top end talent in McGovern, Kennedy, Shuey, NikNat, Yeo and Gaff. They regularly pick up a gun smokey from the draft, and poach WA born players with a go-home factor. Plus, they'll continue to win their share of home games with the umpire bias.

    The inclusion of Mitchell this year was actually detrimental to the Eagles. Couldn't play in the same team as Priddis and Masten. The dynamics of the Eagles could improve without Mitchell and Priddis. And NikNat is huge to their success.

    Drums are beating because a journalist with zero credibility writes that in his opinion they should be traded?

    Priddis was a good junior and the knock on him was pace and disposal at the nect level. His draft year was around the time clubs moved from taking footballers to taking athletic project types.

    He was dominant at WAFL and won state and Premierships standing out as an accumulator. Meth Coast drafted him in 2005  and he struggled to break into their Premiership midfield

    However he won the Sandover in 2006 and from 2007 onwards was a mainstay of their midfield.

    Wouldn't say he came from nowhere. Always a footballer and a player I really admire for his work ethic and getting the absolute best out of himself

    A F's point still stands because Priddis was picked up late in the rookie draft, as was McGovern, and before them Cox.

    Eagles just upping his value by saying this...

    He will be traded for the right price.

    Unless they're confident of re-signing him next year they'd be pretty stupid to not even entertain possible trades. Pick 8 from Saints is better than any compo they'd get for him if he left as a FA.

    I think they are anticipating a rebuild year in the next two years so if Gaff does leave he will get a very good contract and will more than likely end up with 2 top 10 picks in a talented draft. Or Gaff extends so think they will do well either way

    No way they get a top 10 pick for Gaff if he leaves as a FA.

    If they are crap enough and the offer from elsewhere good enough - they will get one.

    Not anymore AFL have slightly modified compensation picks.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
