As a restricted free agent Gaff will probably come at a high price simply because the likes of North Melbourne and St Kilda will bid up his dollar price. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume Eagles only have to match the price of the club he wants to go to. In other words if there are three clubs bidding for him and he picks the lowest offer it is that offer that the Eagles must match.)

 

player choses club. methos just have to match that club's offer

all other offers become irrelevant

Looking forward to the DEES GET OUT THE GAFF HOOK headline 

“Dees gaff a big fish” 

The media are so ingenious. 

I love the title of this thread @McQueen. Makes me laugh every time I come back to it. Comedy gold, I dip my hat to you sir

Yes yes yes. Gaff would be another star and make our midfield completely awesome. 

I think we would have to consider the retirement of Vince to fit him in. 

When we win the flag this year, I think Vince and Lewis may bow out.

That'll free up some cap space...

Jake Niall writing that the Dees have space for Gaff is code for the Dees being right into Gaff and well in the race to sign him.

Especially after extended sampling of the new sponsor’s premium whisky range

Our midfield is probably already the best in the comp and thats with all the elite young talent yet to play anywhere near 100 games of footy.  The improvement to come will be scary.

If you add in Gaff to that....   whats the level above scary?

This is true but there wouldn't be much difference higher or lower than the top failed billed (if the failed bid for him is the highest offer).

The way North sees it, it is slowly but surely pricing competitors out of the market over a few years, and they will eventually land a big fish. If they play finals this year (and they will), that only helps their chances.

I'd focus on re-signing Brayshaw and T Mac first. Then Gaff comes after that.

well given gaff won't make a decision before october (unless to weagles) then that is pretty well axiomatic

He will play for whoever he chooses, as all offers will be good monetarily, and it all boils down to what other factors are important to him. If money is everything, you will see him at either North or Stkilda. If its finals action, welcome to the MFC A.Gaff. That is all assuming he wants out of W.A. ofc.

The Eagles will only match his offer if it doesn't qualify for a round 1 compo pick, which it certainly should, based on his current value.

If he hasnt signed before the finals he is gone.

MFC will be up to their eyeballs in this.

I very much hope we land him as he would slot in perfectly.

I have no inside info, simply a feeling that he's already verbally committed to us, ala Lever.

I expect a Demonland "insider" will take a similar guess sooner or later too.

I hope we don’t get him. I’m scared of the blow back from Shannon Hurn and the rest of the Eagles players. They’ll be so mad.

A few might already know - Hang on a second, I'll call them ☺️ @Roost It@Grand New Flag@Pennant St Dee @Chook in Perth

Maybe they’ll bully him like Adelaide did with Lever.

That’s why I’m so scared. 

He’d cop a bloody good booing over here if he left. Eagles fans boo their own for dropping a mark.

You left out the one who knows the inner workings of the club better than anyone and whos sources are as good as it gets.  Hes the only one who knows if Gaff is coming or not... and not even Gaff himself knows.

Paging him now  @Satyriconhome

Thanks for the confidence vote but I know nothing asked someone who would usually know, but still nothing, 

 

I’ll answer for Grand New Flag. I’ve been told Gaff is keen on coming to the Dees. Plenty of water to go under the bridge until then but signs are all positive. If the deal can get done it will get done.

Don't give up your day job, I did speak to Jason Taylor today but it was about Austin Bradke

On Gaff, we don't seem to have issues with outside run at the moment, but this is first season Gaff has consistently played inside as well, out of necessity

We would be silly not to enquire, I just don't want us in a bidding war

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
