unrestricted free agent at the end of 2018

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/western-bulldogs-free-agent-luke-dahlhaus-a-high-priority-for-several-rival-clubs/news-story/cc2077bffa951a63dc35c2e287b42882

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.

They do get salty. Not as salty as their tears.

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.

Not to mention your life

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)

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.

Exactly right Ding! 

Forget the Free agency players who are always expensive, there is far more quality to be had by trading as we did to get Lever.

Bernie's mate?  Just bring him, too...!  LOL

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.

That would be a great get

Mebbe three years ago - not now or ever

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.

If Bugg kicks 0.6 in a prelim and we lose by a few points, GET DAHLHAUS

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.
