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".

You can never go back

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 

Mmmm.... I’ll keep saying it. Gaff is coming to the Dees!

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

It’s a bit like people who believe in God, just because you keep on preaching it, doesn’t mean it’s true. 

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.

Gut feel or you spoke to his manager as well?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
