    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
