I’m gonna add that the handbrake told me that’s what she heard so it is second hand news. 

The latest from the west Aus rag.

A lot of 'leaning towards' and 'it is believed' and 'apparently' and 'nothing confirmed but' in that.

Sounds like a bit of a press beat-up to me. Making something up to fill in the time.

Just checked Eagles forum and they heard the same report on ch7 that he is staying.

Sad we couldn’t get him, but still don’t really like free agency! So I guess I am glad to see players resist and show loyalty.

Lol Norf. 

Not good news IMO... North still have plenty of cap space to spend now. and next year.  I was hoping they would cough up a little too much.

Kelly wont go to North even for silly money.

 

Posters on here talk about Josh Kelly as though if North don’t get him he’s as good as coming to Melbourne. In reality we’d just be one of about ten suitors throwing cash at him. It’s a long shot.

I’m actually happy he’s staying, you add him, a fit Naitanui & we somehow manage to get May while keeping Hogan & you’ve got a blockbuster between the two of us for next years grand final.

North offer (being the largest financially amongst other clubs) would have been used to drum up a better offer at his preferred club being west coast. Doubt he was ever leaving. Manager declaring it s between north and west coast was purely strategic in my view. Can polec pull out still?

If Gaff is staying how do they get Tim Kelly or fit him into their cap.  Could Dockers  make a play for him? How would that affect other deals? Might make letting Neale go easier? Interesting 10 days ahead.

It does set up a fascinating 10 days Red. Rosich declared Freo have their sights on 4 or 5 trade targets and haven’t given up on convincing Tim Kelly his future playing days could be at Cockburn.

Gaff strikes me as a really decent fellow.

He seems to have a sensitivity about him which is rare among footy players.

Good luck to him. Would’ve loved to see him in the red and the blue, but it seems we were never realistically in the mix.

Sucked in North.

Whoever was the bright spark at Nth that decided that it would be a good idea to be so public and vocal about the their big recruiting over the last two seasons needs to be fired or reassigned to the Carlton FC social media management.

Yeah, nice post. Perhaps unfortunately, I don’t see the world in black and white.

But I understand that many in Kansas do.

To assess Gaff’s entire character and personality on that one incident, is the very reason we no longer endorse public lynching as a society, even though many rednecks would love to have it back.

It seems that Andrew Brayshaw has forgiven him - good on you for continuing to hold the grudge though.

Sensitivity when thinking of Andrew Gaff is not my first thought, sorry...

Although Brad Scott didn’t name Gaff in his BnF speech, it was pretty clear that’s who he was talking about when he spoke about another player signing with them this coming week.

Grudge...get your hand off if it old chap it was you that highlighted that quality. 

I'm not the one who smacked Brayshaw. What does much of the footy world think when uttering that blokes name ? I wonder.

If you don't like a post lampooned.. think it through.

Play on...

I'm pleased to hear it.  As much as I would have loved him to be playing for the Demons, I am happy that loyalty isn't dead.

Hard to turn down all of that cash... But I hope he is happy with never being a premiership player. 

I wouldn't care 1 iota.The money on offer would make me happy enough to never even win a single game again in my lifetime.Thing is these days it really is just a job & that many playets couldnt care if they win or lose.Just think we go to work for 100k a year & do you really care if your company wins awards etc?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
