Now that the heat has gone out of the Brayshaw incident... - it’d be remiss if we didn’t enquire about him. One punch does not make a boxer/ one swallow does not make a summer...

    Demonland is frequently subject to trolling. It's most unpleasant. On this occasion though, I thought it was witty.

    Slightly off topic, but am I the only one who had no idea Hamish Brayshaw was on West Coast’s list until all this unfolded? ?

     

    Over-age player in the TAC Cup, has injuries, hasn’t got the same exposed form but has promise, was a late pick last year when his brother went at pick 2, so was overshadowed fairly significantly.

    I think myself and most dees supporters only paid attention because he was a Brayshaw.

    So if I'm hearing it right, which still may be wrong:

    WCE have offered 6 x $850,000

    NORTH 7 x $1,000,000

    MELB........ ?

    I don't think we can compete with those numbers, I'd rather Whitfield ot Josh Kelly and put that money towards them.

    Unconfirmed....

    From a WCE source, if Gaff doesn't re-sign with the Eagles, they're expecting him to sign with the Dees.

    This naiive sort of appraisal is what sees a club walk away with empty hands, and contend for nothing.

    We won’t sign Gaff by winning a bidding war; there is more to the equation the just $$$

    And it’s all relative; Gaff would rather earn a massive amount of cash in the right situation, than a relatively slightly more massive amount of cash at a club where it’s an uneasy fit. Culture is everything, and we have it.

    Whitfield or Kelly would be just as great, but are they even available? Are they likely to jump ship on GWS? Would they cost the same $$$ and tradable assets?

    Gaff is the FA looking to come back to Victoria. Don’t be distracted by longshot potential scenarios for other similar players.

    We don’t need to compete with anyone other than WCE though do we. North can GAGF.

    And anyway, when has an RFA been held to stay at a club they are wanting to leave? It’d be farcical for Gaff or anyone else to sign a one year deal to see him out to unrestricted FA status you’d think.

    Players generally get to the club of their choice nowadays so if Gaff wants to be at the MFC next year a deal will be worked out.

    $1.9 million on offer from North...okay one more year to earn it. Hard to ignore. Remember it's guaranteed irrespective of form and injury.

    The unknown is the next TV deal.The last two have delivered big pay rises all round. Hard to crystal ball the next one except that the internet rights may go for a lot more if Foxtel blinks.

    Tom Morris thinks we're front runners for Gaff.

    Simmo was interviewed last night and said he'd had no contact with Gaff since immediately after the tribunal. He went on to say that he's looking forward to Gaff returning to West Coast to assist with coaching for the remainder of their campaign. I think Gaff being part of the coaching team will be a pretty uncomfortable proposition rather than just getting around his WCE teammates as they play finals.

    And Tom Morris is a flop of a journo. Says lots of words that mean nothing - just like this article.

    No contact between the senior coach and a star player, while the star player is in crisis, and you're planning to include the player in coaching duties...

    Either it is just not the truth (a West Coast coach lying? Shock!) or Gaff is surely gone.

    Not a bad point but a bit of breathing space would come in handy too.

    Robbo thinks it is WC or North. (I have heard it is WC or Melbourne.)

    "All-Australian Gaff clearly is in demand.

    The Kangaroos believe it’s between them and West Coast and while St Kilda is making noises about wanting to talk to Gaff — and any player who has a pulse, for that matter — they accept he isn’t going to call Moorabbin home."

    No fugazi is good news for us. We hold our cards close to our chest these days. Why would Gaff want to go to those desperados north? If he wants to play in an average team in front of 20k people every week good luck to the lad.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
