Where his cricket plans on a whiteboard? If not it's unofficial!

The whiteboard is inside the secret draw on his massive desk.

 

So it seems pretty certain that Gaff will go to North, unless he comes to us, where some say he is already locked in, but then again he could stay at the Eagles and yet again he might not.

At least we know where he is going and can move on to the next player.

Not bad hey Andrew....

I suppose i can see why north are far better destination club then the dees.

A quick snippet on 6PR this morning reported by Hagdorn - and this is paraphrasing...

West Coast now jockeying for position for a player from either Essendon or Melbourne ‘should’ they match the offer of either club to assist in a trade. What’s making it more difficult is that it’s also looking likely that Lycett will also depart.

No mention of North.

 

I have a feeling that Essendon moving Goddard on has something to do with this, hopefully we are still in the hunt? From memory reports had us as one of the first involved, would be disappointing to lose him at the final moment.

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. 

Jake Lever was stitched up fairly early, as early as June or July last year.

Having said this, I just remembered Essendon are into Dylan Shiel, so that may be why also.

Would Lycett be worth a look as a backup  without giving up too much? Any talk of anyone that’s interested?

Geelong are interested.

My mail says Will Setterfield will be a bomber next year, pending a deal being done. Massive bomber fan growing up, has already told GWS he wants to go to essendon.

I am expecting Gaff to come to Melb. All the media noise regarding North is just that. they need to sell papers so create a narrative. North are the only ones in with a chance.... a week later - massive news, backflip, Dees in with a chance... etc

Gaff will go to a team with a good chance of a flag in the next 3-4 years

Ken Hinkley basically said on adelaide radio that Polec is heading to North, they must have a lot of cap space if they can afford Gaff as well.

It could depend on where they finish, clearly Gaff will get them band 1, so if they end up in the grand final they'll get pick 20/21, with other free agent moves. Whereas if they bomb out in straight sets this could be pick 16/17, if he wants to go to Essendon then trying to get pick 9/10 out of them and a player might be easily accepted. 

If he wanted to come to us then they'd have to decide if it's worth just taking a pick between 16-21 or trying to force a trade for players plus lower picks this year or a first rounder next year (which will be in that band anyway), might all depend on what their thoughts are around needing to fill his gap this draft or wait until the year after.

Who could (and would) we trade though?!

Hogan???

That's the line we'd be going back to West Coast with, we've got some fringe players, maybe Kent, JHK etc. plus a second rounder, or take the band 1 as it's as good as you'll get. Any contracted players would have to want to move themselves, so the idea of Hogan is just silly as we'd get more from Freo, or we'd be asking WC for Gaff plus a whole lot more

Interesting concept.... so we wait until Gaff nominates his club and then WC can match and then if the nominated club still wants him you trade.

No thanks ....the only trade we would consider that WC would be interested in would probably be Weideman. Given that Gaff is an RFA it just doesn't make sense to trade a top 22 player and it's not as though they are queuing up at Casey. Stretch maybe.

Fascinating

PS: I did not realise that WC would then lose it's compensatory pick..... Which of course is not worth as much to a top club... (doubly fascinating)

I think it might be Kent used as bait.

Isn’t a major part of the attraction that he comes free?

Would love to target Sheil. But we have no picks to offer.....

He is RFA next year, so I'm guessing if he has indicated leaving as a free agent, GWS would prefer to get more for him now than pick 15/16 next year. I would say he is worth 2 first round picks.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
