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?

    So apparently it is possible to get over home sickness when it’s a 4 hour flight away. Fascinating. 

    Also suck it North.

    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?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
