I'm happy to take the advice from others on here that have spoken to Gaff's management that it is North or WCE.

In the meantime - I can't help but think though, that his choice when he makes his announcement will be based on Hogan getting to Fremantle or not...

    Well, the first language of AFL is lying... or not airing your intentions...since when has Mahoney ever been overt when it's come to bigger names coming into the club.

    Not to say he is lying of course... but as someone else said...the deals are done, the rest is theatre.

    So, the vibe I have is that I can't help but think that if/when Hogan goes to Freo...Gaff will shortly announce the Dee's, as his asking price is more closely matched due to more cap $ -  if the trade to Freo fails... well, who cares really...

    On what planet would Gaff base his decision to go to North or stay at WCE based on whether Hogan goes to Freo?

    You miss the point. The two are totally unrelated.

    I’m sure I read elsewhere on here that, with Hogan going it’s frees up $ for anyone - in this case Gaff who is a FA to meet an asking price.

    if this is wrong - walk me through what point I am missing

    TIA

    Well not quite... His comments were: 

    "We don't stop asking the question, but we've been told to stay away for a fair period of time. We're reading what you guys are reading on that."

    Being told to stay away for a period of time can be construed two ways.

    1. MFC has been told time and time again to F off but are annoyingly persistent, or;
    2. MFC has been advised to take a step back and let things unfold safe in the knowledge that they're still in the picture.

    He answered this in response to Barrett asking if he thought it was down to two, being North and WC. The end of the sentence was that, based on the above,  Melbourne are reading it the same way.

    Pretty sure he was confirming that we had been told to bugger off, not let it play out. Would love to be wrong.

    "Told to stay away" Interesting turn of phrase. Something feels off about this whole Gaff scenario. I know he's going through a lot, but to be completely shattered as your teammates win a premiership seemed pretty self absorbed. Couldnt put the chin up and put on a smile and be happy for teammates like nic nat? I know im playing the DL cliche of disliking those who turn us down, but Gaff has seemed like a very odd and brittle indecisive person this past week.

    I’d have thought until the Eagles finished finals we (and other suitors) would have been told to “stay away”... now it’s time to mak e our play, as if he’s leaving the West as seems evident, it’s fairly likely he’d consider us a good option, assuming the numbers at North are not too insane...

    I’ll do a desk pop if Gaff comes to us. Gaff’s manager has stated it’s between staying at West Coast and going to North. The way Mahoney’s words are being read into is amusing, he’s a straight shooter. I know it’s nice to still hold out hope Gaff may come to us but it isn’t happening.

    Fair enough. And ill rightly cop criticism for the harshness of my post

    But let me just surmise that maybe Gaff is not the type of person that will thrive with the weight of $1.1m/yr expectations on his shoulders all the while adapting to a new environment. That might be a factor in him being indecisive currently. Time to let this one play out, happy to be wrong.

    Gaff's manager said on Trade Radio today it's between West Coast and North. When asked if it was only those clubs, he said "yes.". We've asked, we've been told no, and now his manager says West Coast or North. There's no way we come close to matching Norths offer of 1.2 million a year for 5-6 years. Probably time to shut this thread down. The club has clearly sent their focus elsewhere since, hopefully on Shiel?

    Two things Gaff would have seriously learnt in the last two weeks:

    He's got the monkey on his back from WC/Flag, and all who sail in her, and

    He's not going to readily get rid of it at North.....

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
