Thanks for posting that @Demonland. I caught up on the last 2 pages and then read your most recent one. Very disappointing. :P

 

Always nice to dream I guess but maybe one day those exceptional 'free agent' players will want to come to our footy club.

 

Thinking about the difference Langdon made, it’s exciting to imagine what 2 wingers will do for us

 

gaff is one of most overrated players in the league in my eyes. He plays in a stats era thst exaggerates his impact. He gets most of his touches on the half back flank and does nothing with his disposals. He can't break lines or defend.

I don't think i've seen him lay more than 2 tackles in a game either.

I like him he would have been amazing as a free agent. He has produced highly and consistently for many years and his tackles regularly. It's not a problem at all.

Moot point. He was never coming to us.

No brilliance, just on gut feel I don’t agree. 

I think Kelly is an impostor.


Bump.

I think his time at West Coast so far makes it hard to argue I was wrong.

Maybe. I don’t think he’d be half as good in most other sides. I think he’s a cat, and that he benefits heavily from the attention opposition sides put into other Geelong players.

Zing.

And what about Gaff, mate? I'd still have him if he came cheaply.

Kelly has become a more damaging player than Gaff and is several years younger.

If I was an Eagles supporter I would swap the two in a heartbeat.

Ed: upon review of stats on footywire, there’s not a lot in it.

Kelly vs Gaff

Interesting 'Mach'...I think Kelly has been ok but not a patch on what he looked like with the Cats.

Maybe there is a reason he slipped through a few drafts.

I'm also not as big a fan as others of the GWS variety Kelly.

If he's really worth the hype (and cash) then he should stand up as a match winner tonight.

Kelly was starting to show the form he was brought in for earlier in the year before succumbing to injury.

Cheap as in he pays us?  He moves slower than I do when getting up to pay the bar bill.

this is what happens when the Demons aren't playing on the weekend.  can you imagine the off season?

Big difference from being the third or 4th midfielder in a team to have to step up to being the No 1 midfielder.  WCE only had a handful of games this year with Yeo/Kelly/Shuey all playing.

They have got big issues at the Eagles, no cap space and not much youth.  

Gaff has always been an old fashion seagull he has gotten worse over the past 2 years.


No thanks, that ship has sailed long ago let them wallow in there salary cap demise i say.

I know the stats didn’t back it up, but the gut feel was just that he wasn’t that good. 
 

As you said, GWS Kelly likewise. Has put in some bloody soft efforts at times tonight. Give me a Langdon and a weak side Brayshaw any day.

I though this thread died a year ago.

Gaff had his chance and blew it.

Besides, Narrm are the only premiership threat for the next couple of years and we dont need him. ( 😁 )

Of course. How is that related to Gaff in any way though?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
