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 ?

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
