If I was West Coast and Gaff nominated MFC I'd match and request a tall in trade.  Kennedy is close to retirement age and McGovern can play forward or back.  I think OMac, Frost and Weed would be in play if it was me.

I think they would have their eyes on Kelly, who they could most likely get for the compo pick for Gaff and also save cap room.

If that is happening they clearly won't match.

The real question is who will Gaff nominate.

    3 important players there. Deals off for mine

    Other midfielders can be found

    Kelly is contracted and Geelong said they wont trade him.  I believe them too.

    If wife and kids go home, most likely husband/father does too.

    Interesting that OMAC hasn't signed yet? What WCE payed McGovern was pretty top line and unbelievable.

    Bombers fans are convinced Gaff will nominate them. Im not so sure.

    Polec has been offered a fortune at North, and Port are preparing for him to take it.

    Reckon Shiel is a big chance to get to Essendon if they dont get Gaff.

    Glad we have finals to focus on this year.

    18 is still in the first round.

    I was using the term 'second round" to distinguish it from a low first round pick.

    For example no one would accept Weideman as a trade for the a low first round pick (top5)  but a high first/ low second round is about his worth.

    The point I was trying to make is that free agency perversely benefits the higher ranked clubs because assuming they can match offers there is a lesser incentive for them to take the compensatory pick. Mind you I prefer this to the power club getting the high worth pick.

    Not sure that free agency is really doing much other than giving the players a little salary leverage. Perhaps a subject for the off season.

    We will trump at least one of these teams and get the guy we want.  Whether thats Gaff, Shiel or someone we dont even know about yet.

    We are THE destination club now...  well along with Hawthorn who to their credit do nothing but win year in and year out and don't bottom out.

    Gaff isn't a match winner, he isn't a key position player he sits out on the fringe of the contest and can use the ball well.  If he nominates us he should come as a free agent only no kicker back to West Coast.

    I don't mind Dom Sheed as well, has struggled a bit this year but looked good on Sunday

    We aren't building the cake so to speak, we are in icing territory and we need skills and outside talent to take the next step and win a flag.

    No. This year he has added an inside element to his game. He's now a classy outsider who also does inside work very well. 

    I'd pass on Sheed ATM

    There’s no way that any deal is 100% done at this time of year. 

    When do you think we had Lever sewn up? Lynch to Tigers? Scully when he jumped to the Giants? It wouldn't surprise me if there are unofficial MOU's a year out

    But if they match the offer they lose their compo and would want something as good as Gaff. That is where the attraction would be lost.

    And if no trade gets done they keep him

    Exactly. 10 yrs ago I believed things were done at end of season.  Not now, do I,,, am I so naive.

     

    I think Barassi's return, was at least, 1Yr in the making, ahead of it happening.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
