Gaff was a Dees supporter growing up, what is he going to say, but have we actually enquired

Notice the sudden reappearance of the Hogan article, nobody has mentioned it, to shut down any linking talk

I asked Josh Mahoney a couple of weeks ago, don't have to hide my source, of course he said we are interested in Gaff, like any player

Think they are more interested in getting McDonald x 2, Jetta and Brayshaw tied in first

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. 

If he wins a flag this year, he has to ask himself what is the probability of the Weagles going back to back, especially considering Demon trajectory.

On the balance of Pr, I would pull the escape pod and head to Demonland to win 2 in a row

For those that might not be able to read it - that article is a joke.  Nowhere does it actually say that the Eagles are interested in Gus, more that it wonders if the Eagles will chase him as 'revenge' for us chasing Gaff.  There is absolutely nothing to suggest he wants out, no quotes from managers or coaches or anything resembling something new.  It's a headline purely for there for clicks.

Thanks @Wiseblood, @Demonland time to get a vomit button...


If you listen to Angus on a recent MFC podcast there's near zero chance of him leaving.

Yep.

The link they make with the Eagles is the fact one of his brothers plays there.  It's thin at best.

If they get a Demon midfielder it will be Tyson.

I don't think Tyson would leave Melbourne the city. Far more likely to go somewhere like St Kilda or Carlton.

That being said, I don't think he's leaving Melbourne the club either

I think saints might have a crack at Tyson he would fit into there game plan perfectly

He is the type of player we need however he is arguably the softest player in the league. 

Wouldn't want to go all out for him IMO. 

Brenno 

You are contradicting yourself 

We do not need any soft players, regardless of their upside.  We showed that last trade period.

He will if he doesn't have a choice a la Jack Watts.

Kind of reaffirms my stance on his article - Jay Clark is connecting dots that simply aren't there yet.  All the chatter has been about us having the room and that we've looked long term for some time now to ensure we have the space to sign our players and add others.  Seems like he's seen one Brayshaw at the Eagles, looked at the potential of Gaff leaving with Melbourne being interested and gone from there.  

Nothing in it.

Fixed.

Clickbaiting bastards

The Dees will win this year G.F,followed by the next 5. I see a 50's domination all over again. Young talented kids will be "dying" to get into our side.

Let's not over-speculate; it pushes up the price of recruiting astronomically.

If Gaff wants to be a Dee, it is up to him to show it with subtle resolve; if we want him, we could come together with Gaff to support this arrangement/outcome.

With an environment of varied form and injury risks remaining ever-present, any good price is enough if the player wants to occupy a position in an emerging superteam.

It does not need to be the highest price - if that is all Gaff wants, then we really don't need him.

If he is a fair dinkum bloke, and everything points towards that being the case, he will be a Demon on these terms in 2019 and from that, will be much appreciated in a continuous appearance in coming grand finals for the Dees.

And his other brother plays with the other team in Perth.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
