Gaff will be a dee is what I was told today from somebody that should know. 

What happened?

Nothing yet.

 

I’ve got more confidence of Gaff being a Demon next year than the Dees of playing finals this year. (And I have zero inside info on either scenario, well besides being let down by the club for the last 12 years). 

I’m not sure why posters feel the need to attempt to big note themselves by claiming inside information on player movements. Common sense would tell me it’s only August therefore there’s no way Gaff would have 100% committed to any club at this time. 

Posting in all capitals and using excessive exclamation marks doesn’t make it anymore credible either.

But it was ‘someone’ that should know! And a wise man once told me to believe everything said on DL.

Homework tonight is to figure out how we can get Gaff.

Have it on my desk tomorrow morning.

Maybe make some tough decisions.  Jones and Lewis to coaching roles.  Frees up salary cap.  Offer $1.2m a season if that is needed.

It’s a start. The rest can take a leaf out of your book.

Lewis is still contracted for next year isn't he? That means he will still be in the cap.

Yeah, in Parliament.  Rl. 

Or heads of business.    Maybe the heads of the Church?

All the kings horses, and all the kings men ?

 

Or could that possibly be, the collective minds of the common folk.?

I was remembering the argus Red&Blue print.

And his cricket plans.

Not if he retires before SC census date this year. Example: Cyril at Hawks.

Can free up cap space. Lewis as an assistant coach in 2019 puts his wage under the FD, I believe.

Don't quote me on that though.


Norf supporters on BF think they are getting Gaff this year and Josh Kelly next year.  

You’d have to be seriously desperate for cash to go to North over Melbourne or even Essendon. If Gaff picks North good luck to him. I don’t want anyone at our club who cares only about money. Winning and success has to be the main motivation if you come to Melbourne, as we have lots of great players we need to fit into the cap going forward.

He may not but I wouldn't take any notice of your postings, you are the king of hysteria.

Can see it now.

"Who has the best midfield?" threads, with norf supporters talking up some nobody side into second, so they can then type a novel about why they are number 1

 

"Cunners, Zeibs and Benny J cutting the packs open, and feeding the ball to Gaffer and Joshy K. Wow, we will be invincible!"

 

Norf suporters are my favorites.

Don’t think so.  Cyril retired and the articles were all about how much salary cap freed up.

  • REPORT: 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.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
