I’ll keep saying it. He is in the Red & Blue next season!

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

What happened?

 

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
