Is it just me, or does anyone else get slightly excited when they see a thread like this rise from the dead after not having a post for a few days?  I'm always anticipating some news on the subject, but it rarely is.

Yep, this is a Melbourne supporter's wet dream this time of year. And for all the wrong reasons.

It's not just you

I think we need an ETTradeBreakingWhispererSecretSquirrel hashie on the Twitterz and just pay attention to that.

Does the renewed interest in this thread have anything to do with 'the sneaky contract clause'?

Dunno about interesting anymore. Bit of a time-sink these 100 page Kelly, Gaff, Whitfield and wait for it.. Prestia pipedreams of the past few years that never went anywhere.

Fake news.

Reputability cannot be judged. We’ll find out I suppose.

Ah, this old chestnut. 106 pages. Didn't think we'd be back here so soon.

It depends what we'd be willing to pay for him. Langdon on one wing, Gaff on another, with Tomlinson as the utility that roams between the arcs. I like it if we don't blow our cap.

Having those three runners on the MCG would make us a lot harder to play against on the spread.

Eagles CEO said today that teams had inquired but totally rebuffed. Gaff had apparently called Simmo so he could be reassured nothing was happening, and he was told 100% that he was staying. 

Zero in it.

We're you tapping into the phone call on your shoe phone?

Something like that.

Seriously though, the CEO mentioned the call.  No phone tapping from me.

Apparently Gaff has a contract clause that makes him an UFA at the end of this season, despite having a valid contract with the Eagles until 2024.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

You also have to wounder if this will set a precedent amoung free agents.

The bloke is way too tentative in just about all aspects of his professional life it seems.

Unable to fully commit to the Eagles, extremely timid throughout the entirety of the whole king hit fiasco, and seemingly ambivalent with his disposals.

Even with his good kicking skills, he is a player you don't tend to notice that much in games (rightly or wrongly - bar that brain fade). He makes Garland look like the most outgoing footballer there ever was.
