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?

Very Scary??

    In terms of keeping the current group together under the cap (and adding Gaff), what’s the value of a Premiership medallion or two to a player? Financially post-career? Emotionally?

    Didn't someone say on here the other day that the salary cap per club increases by 2M p.a. from 2019?

    That could accommodate an uplift in Tmac, Brayshaw and Gaff.

    Let's aay 750-800 gaff, +200 p.a. for Tmac + 200 p.a. for Brayshare that leaves 600k P.a. for the rest of the group. Would that provide a CPI lift for everyone? Not sure what the base is.

    I find it interesting to read speculative posts on who we can afford and who gets what etc, when we are not privy to the club's  list payment information.

    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

    As a matter of interest, what’s the vibe with Bradtke?

    FWIW I asked some scouts about him and they said he was a completely unknown quantity

    Yet fellow students at his school say he is as naturally talented as the King twins, [censored] both expected to go top five in this draft

    What’d Taylor say?

    edit: it is ABSURD that who’re if it doesn’t have an apostrophe in it gets censored...it is an actual word ffs

    That's why I just make it all up mate and use approximations. Because I have no idea but you can at least get where I am coming from.

    It's not actually. Unlike the contractions "they're" or "we're", "who're" should be written "who are". :P

    Seriously, if we added Gaff to this group...

    Wow.

    Wowee.

    We are 7-3 and footy is so good at the moment...  but its hard not to get excited about the possibility of Gaff coming to us.

    It really feels like it will happen,  or that its at least very realistic.   

    2019 (and beyond) midfield

    Oliver - Viney - Brayshaw - Petracca - Jones - Salem - Hogan - Gaff - Fritsch - Spargo - Harmes - ANB 

    Scary!   Like the Geelong triple  premiership teams who had a midfield that batted 12 deep that was unstoppable, and untaggable...  but ours would be even more dangerous due to the likes of Hogan, Tracca, Spargo and Fritsch who could go forward and tear a game open.  Oliver will soon prove to be a dangerous goalkicker too who can rest forward and menace teams.. the evolution is coming.

    Even if we dont get Gaff we will still be downright frightening. 

    Yeah, get excited folks.

    Previous to this year he lacked inside work. He’s now doubling the amount of clearances per game compared to last season and averaging two more contested possessions per game.

    @jane02 anything?

    Finally caught up with my source this morning who told me that Gaff definately wants to be a Demon next year. I pressed for a bit more but that’s all he would give me.

    Yep, really. That narrows down the field of probably sources considerably (by 50%).

    Now, does anyone have a list of every male connected to Gaff and the Demons (somehow) by let's say 2 degrees of separation and work backward.

    It should only be about 25000 people.

    personally I love this kind of stuff. Jusr remember that If you reveal that source  it will printed in the Sun the next day..

    I have a doubt about it though. Mainly because  he's in a premiership contending  team right now AND  if he wins one with the eagles wouldnt it make more sense to him to be chasing $ rather than flags?. Can see him going to the saints if the eagles win this year.

    Well, if my memory serves me correctly the 'he' is doctor operating in the Brighton area. That should narrow it down a bit.

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
