I looked at the photos of him and the coach from the weekend and thought if he leaves the Weagles I will be surprised.

I think you will be surprised.

may not need 1.1m to get him, bub

yeah that thought had occurred to me. Somewhere I posted along the lines if he WAS leaving might the temptation be to veer towards a club in the window as opposed one that wasnt...and maybe not quite so much in terms of doleros. Id expect us to at least revisit this and ask the question

If you think he’s going to turn down Norf’s offer you’re nuts. It’s a done deal. #ETthetradebreaker.

I would be shocked if he came to us at the last minute. Would be as big as when all the talk Franklin was going to GWS and then bang he is going to the swans

Shiel @ $850k is better value than Gaff @ $1.2m

neither at $0 and kelly at $1-1.2mill is even better!

Agreed on Kelly. However unlike Gaff and Shiel he is not available right now.

We have the picks and capital to make a move this trade period. Next October? Who knows.

Who has said Shiel at 850k? On SEN this morning they were saying Shiel is after 1.2 as well.

The bidding will go a lot higher on Shiel...

...by the time this trade period is up he will be up around the $1mill which is way overs for his output.

I’d still pay it.

Head to head I’d take Shiel over Gaff. Absolute jet.

My only real question. Is he really THAT good that he gets 1.1? That might not gel with what others get. 

I think Gaff is good...but that good ??  Not sure.

What happens, IF Gaff accepts a lesser amount from another team, other than North ?

I think the only reason he hasn’t re-signed with the eagles is the stupid $$ on offer. I don’t know if it would be easy for us to get into this conversation without matching or going close.

Gaff vs Shiel (2018)

Gaff vs Shiel Career

Based on what I've witnessed and backed up by these stats I'd still take Gaff before Shiel although there's not a lot in it.

I'd like to know the percentage of out of contract players that sign a new deal after the season.

Close isn’t it.

I lean towards Shiel because of the burst acceleration factor out of congestion. Perfect compliment to Clarry, Gus and Vines.

Race is hotting up for both though. Saints have now upped their ante for Shiel to $8m over 6 years. Reckon he’s the type of guy though to settle for a bit less coin to play for a Vic club with genuine flag aspirations. Reckon it’s out of Hawks, Bombers and hopefully ... us!

Gaff isn't and he was a Demon fan as a kid and we are better placed than the Roos for finals.

 

Is Gaff to Nuffnuff akin to Judd to  bluesville ? 

Much Ado about nothing (results )

He may prefer the MCG rather than Marvel and getting belted every week running around with the Saints ?

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
