Rumour has it WCE have offered 6 x $850,000, naturally I'm unsure if true.

NM have apparently offered 7 x $1.2m

I'm surprised North have offered him a lifetime deal at $2m, such is their pathetic desperation to land a decent footballer.

    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.

    Totally this. Gaff is very tasty icing, even moreso given he can now also play on the inside.

    This year's draft we can go purely best available as there is not much in the need category. Maybe trade for a ruck or find a mature age one.

    @Chook in Perth normally has pretty good contacts and mail.

    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:

    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.

     

    Nah nah, Shiel to Hawks, take it too the bank. It all makes sense.

    Based on Sundays game Im not sure how useful McGovern is as a forward. lacks some skill and class for mine.

    We have invested years into these Key Position Players. I would be peeved if one of them was traded for a midfielder 

    not cool

    Brain fade by me. Sincere apologies. (Really).

    There is no better news breaker after the event than Ethan. He is a Giant among his peers.

    Update: So immediately prior to the Gaff-bash (copyright pending) I posted a cross-reference to a wild rumour on another shall remain nameless website re.Gaff crossing to the MFC - primarily to dig out our own inside connections and stir up some action, but which was immediately called out by Ethan the Newsbreaker among others as baseless.

    The original poster has now openly revealed himself as an outright troll - quoth: "I posted a scandal not a rumour. There is no differentiation. It was a complete fabrication loosely linking a few wild comments by others. A simple moment taken to type up a possibility to see how it travels. 13 pages or sometimes emotional ranting is enough for me."

    I would ordinarily call for a lynching if such passed muster on this beloved site of ours, but I don't want to propagate any notion that Lynch may be coming to Melbourne. Otherwise, I remain convinced that Gaff will be in the red & blue as of next year, despite the trolls and own special Picket.

    Based on the rumoured $$ on offer for him I’m not surprised

    Me either.

    I would have liked him at the club, but if someone like North are offering godfather type money, then we need to step away and either look elsewhere or continue to back in others to improve.

    Based on what, Tom?

    Usually, if you make a call about something you attempt to back it up with something of a plausible nature - particularly when you’re a journalist.

    This bloke would get a job at Woman’s Day.

    Yep agreed, he’s an icing on the cake type player for us. I’m sure we will have a look at other options that play a similar role

    Happy to spend the mill or so a year on what we have. Let the draft boys pluck a few more diamonds. Fridge and spargo have been priceless. Not sure which one we got for watts but it has worked out. Best thing, I am sure they will keep getting better!

    The offseason just got more exciting....  cant wait to see what Mahoney and co. have up their sleeve if Gaff really is going elsewhere.

    The club would have been looking/talking to Gaff for the past year.  But now, I would say the development of Harmes and Brayshaw thave reduced our need for Gaff, especially if we had to break the bank to get him.

    Use the money to keep the talent we have which still has so much upside.

    My thoughts exactly. Sure they will package up someone for someone or a pick.

    • 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.

    • 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.
