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.

    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.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Gaff won't be off to MFC.

    I am hearing some hot sauce that he is off to...

     

    Wait for it

     

    Canberra to be on ScoMo's ticket.

     

    Thanks mods :mistake emoji:

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
