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')

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. 
 


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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
