    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
