i've always liked him as a player personally

he'd be another mid / forward combo player

but in terms of free agents at the end of the year, i'd rather get gaff

    We should definitely be in the market for a free agent at the end of this season. Vince will most likely retire and Lewis would have one year left, Jones probably 3. We are also right in our window so should throw the kitchen sink at winning premierships over the next 5 seasons.

    I'd have a crack at any of the following:

    Luke Dahlhaus

    Andrew Gaff

    Marc Murphy

    Rory Sloane

    Sloane would be worth getting just for the Adelaide melts. 

    Tay-Tay Walker would go cray-cray.

    We should be chasing Gaff on your behalf Ethan. I'm sure you'd get a few chuckles out of it out west.

    This would be great, I’d wear my MFC jumper into work with Gaff’s number on the back. They take things very personally over here, I’d probably lose my job.

    I would take Dahlhaus in a heartbeat. Good player. As for Gaff I must be different from other people. No thanks.

    I am with you. Gaff is massively over rated. He has been very ordinary in September

    If his Family weren’t Demons, he would be mostly unknown. 

    Dahlhous is twice the player

    bit of a coin toss between gaff and dalhaus - very similar stats, same age

    i'd take either (depending on price)

  • Quote

    Dahlhaus is well ahead of Gaff as a target for mine.

    Gaff is very much an outside player which isn’t the Melbourne mould. Even our outside players are more than willing to get their hands dirty and win their own ball. We want versatility and Dahlhaus provides that. He’d be a big loss for the dogs. Arguably their second best player.

    No for mine. Money better spent keeping our group together. We have youth that should - all going well - be on Dahlhaus level by years end. Plus, we have a strong midfield, and there would be no point forking (a lot) for what would be a forward pocket player.

    They're both overrated as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm all for getting Gaff. Exactly what we need and he would be very gettable.

    I wouldn't be chasing Dahlhaus. We have a heap of players competing for that hff position. I would much rather spend the money on someone we need.

    Sloane and Lynch would both be amazing but I think they will stay or there will be other clubs who will make godfather offers to them. I don't want to break the bank.

    We will be spending all our spare change on Ollie Wines.  Forget Dalhaus.

    I'd go Sloane, with a $3.2mill over 4yrs contract offer.

    ($850thou Yr1,   $650thou Yrs2&3,  $1m Yr4) = $3.2m over 4yrs, mostly back-ended. If we can squeeze it in.

    We need a mature player of his type.

    We need that quality runner, who is not totally outside.

    WE chased him a few years ago and correct me if l am wrong, however l remember reading it in the papers as the Bulldoggies put a halt to it as he was still serving  a contract. He can hold his own . Mid 20s.

    Good goal sneak. Certainly worth considering

    Point of order. His mother and brother are Demons. His father is a Richmond supporter.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
