    Gaff has been offered six million over seven years by a Victorian club (not us) with lots of cash. Contract would be substantially front loaded.

    A number of Victorian clubs are right into Jeremy McGovern as well. Don't know if we are one of them.

     

    Only NM would be stupid enough to do that. 7 years would take him to 33-34, he won’t have his pace and run at that age I don’t think. Didn’t impress me last night but that’s the first time I’ve seen him this year.

    hah, I am glad to hear that !

     

    I can understand carltoon and gaff.

    The game is about to reduce rotations,,, and space will open up, so gut-run, and 'speed',,,  will both be in demand.

    We have some gut-run,  but barely any speed.   We need much more of it, in & around the middle,  and half back.

     

    Dion Johnston is a keeper, at this time.  IF he can learn to develop at the defensive end;  he might have a future there,  but also, if he can find his mojo down back;  he may yet find he can play around the middle.?

    can I ask how do you know this for sure ?

    Can anyone tell me how we would be able to bring a Gaff to the club considering we have nothing really to offer.

    He’s a free agent.

    So we don't have to offer any picks or players? Just give him money?

    Thanks for the answer. Eagles will be fuming.

    They can match the offer put forward by the rival club which could force a trade or the player going into the draft. I don’t think any team has matched an offer since the introduction of free agency though.

    As to the above, it's sometimes hard to separate opinion and mail on here with the uninformed but definitive statement style some posters lean towards - can you please make clear? As to the below - mods, can we also please pin somehow?

    Adelaide matched on Dangerfield, which is why a trade was done.

    I don't think they actually matched, just that they threatened to certainly match it (as that would have then tied Dangerfield to stay with the crows on an identical contract, to my understanding).

    However I am aware that the AFL plays it pretty free and loose with the rules in these situations.

    I think it was actually part of Dangerfields requests when it happened that Geelong looked after Adelaide IIRC

    Geelong never offered a deal to Dangerfield under free agency. They went straight to a trade.

    Norf I'm guessing. 

    He's 26. Are they really prepared to pay him big money at 33? Probably front loaded so he gets $350k in years 6 and 7.

    Goodness me, this bloke is a jet and will contribute to our side amazingly.

    Today he was absolutely pivotal in so much of the Eagles play.

    We desperately need a player of Gaff’s qualities and skills.

    Go and get Gaff.

    Yep GO GET HIM! I cannot believe posters on this site being in any way reticent. He is a superstar, something we lack!

    dangerfield? not sure, but geelong ended up trading with cows

    Having said that, the return for Dangerfield wasn't great.

    Dangerfield and pick 50...

    For picks 9, 28 and Dean Gore.

    He hasn't managed a West Coast B&F or a high finish at the Brownlow, so superstar may be a slight overreach on your part

    Those against Gaff coming to Melbourne are not being reticent, expressing opinion openly

    Third in 2016 and 11th in 2015.  I couldn't be bothered looking any further so there may be others.

    Anyone who doesn't think Gaff should be our main priority does not understand football. We have the inside ball winners covered, we lack outside run at times and this guy is one of the best. Plus anyone saying he isn't a competitor, he's averaging the most in his career so has improved in this area.

    We should be in the box seat as we can still offer a bit of cash but have the potential success card up our sleeves. Carlton, Saints and even North can't provide that.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
