My understanding is we left the Gaff poker table some weeks ago. Buy in price way too high. 

He won’t be at the Dees next year.

Have we folded though?

    Does the Eagles winning the Flag make it more or less likely that Gaff becomes available?

    I missed a GF once through injury & have to say it made it easy to walk away the year after due to feeling no emotion to the Premiership....in fact it felt worse than losing 1.Who thinks now that he is more of a chance of jumping ship & who thinks it will push him into staying on at WCE?

    I think Gaff will leave, fresh start and all, just hope it's not nuff melbourne where he ends up playing.

    I 'm not sure winning the premiership will make much of a change to his decision making.  I think for Gaff it's a question of whether he wants to come home and be near his family (and be very well compensated) or remain at West Coast and be not so handsomely paid (but still on pretty big money). If anything it may free up room in the Eagles TPP due to not having to fork out over the top money to retain Lycett.

    An interesting take on it.

    I do agree if you weren't on the park you won't have the same bond. Some might suggest that for some that might make the hunger stronger but I'd be inclined to also think , if were I, what are the chances of back to back etc. That's very difficult.

    I think you can become a bit of an outsider after this sort of thing

    He looked a broken man yesterday. I totally disagree with what he did, but gees hasn’t he paid the ultimate price now!

    A part of me suspects he will never be the same again. If North want to throw their dumb chest at him, then so be it.

    It goes to show just one minute of madness can be a lifetime of pain.

    Or a new start might invigorate.

    Now I know this is a less than ideal analogy... it's all a bit like when your better half cheats on you. You don't ever go back to the 'normality' it once was. 

    No one's cheated on Gaff ..but the others did something he didn't. 

    If me. I'd leave. Fresh start..head down, bum up...get into it.

    If Gaff and looking at lists and prospects ...we leave the Nuff Norfs in the dust. FMD.. .. we're already 2nd fact for flag next year...wtf lol.

    Gaff is a mid.. who's midfield would you rather compliment ?

    In the post-match commentory on ABC radio, they said he had separated himself from others in the rooms, and was "crying his eyes out".

    Apparently Andrew Brayshaw has only just started eating solid foods again. Let’s not forget that. 

    I do wonder if Gaff can actually make a “new” start within the AFL

    Agree. And he would compliment ours perfectly

    I will be totally amazed if Gaff stays at West Coast. He would have made his mind up already and he would have announced it ahead of the GF as a morale booster.  His obvious devastation yesterday was because he could have left on the high note of a flag but for his action and suspension.

    Will most probably nominate North for megabucks but I suspect we've been right in the discussion for a long time and the Hogan trade may be giving us scope to the offer, there's a chance he comes to us.

    Apparently he congratulated the players before telling them he would be playing elsewhere next season.

    It was more the commentary around throwing their dumb chest at him... that sounded rather definitive.

    Purely speculation on my behalf, but the Hogan/May developments may have also opened up cap space, letting us back into the Gaff conversation.

    A hypothetical...nothing more

    Before Eagles win Premiership..Gaff just an Eagle..biding his time...do I dont I...  maybe a shltload of money aint a bad thing.

    After Eagles win Premiership .. Gaff an outsider in his own neighbourhood now.  Hard to re-bond with existing...was looking to fresh fields anyway....but maybe the lustre of a Cup is shinier now than before.. Option....somewhere just for money..lots... somewhere else where that Window is ajar...still going to get  more than a fist-full of green !! Hmmmmmm

    ...and just maybe after yesterday winning a premiership takes a precedent over money or the desire to be an inside mid.

    And I'll keep saying that Gaff's manager (Paul Connors) has said that he'll either stay at West Coast or go to North.  

    Gaff wants more time playing an inside role and he knows he won't get that at Melbourne.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
