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 ?

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
