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.

To be honest the only solid news I believe out of WA comes either from you or one of the other posters who's name slips my mind at the mo...edit: 'Chook in Perth' (thanks 'Clint')

...and of course the news breaker ' @Ethan Tremblay'

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:

You've been around long enough to know that we at Demonland are robots who automatically react to every attempt at humour by merging it with another thread involving the person in question being ridiculed so that it gets buried never to be seen again.

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. 
 

'Melbourne are out of the running for Gaff'

Tom Morris - OTC tonight

Tom Morris confirms we are no longer in the race for Gaff

Yep, seemed pretty adamant about it too. 

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.

Bugger.....

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.

Tom Morris? Hahhaha no seriously hahhahahhahahhh.

Idiot.
