As a restricted free agent Gaff will probably come at a high price simply because the likes of North Melbourne and St Kilda will bid up his dollar price. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume Eagles only have to match the price of the club he wants to go to. In other words if there are three clubs bidding for him and he picks the lowest offer it is that offer that the Eagles must match.)

 

player choses club. methos just have to match that club's offer

all other offers become irrelevant

    Looking forward to the DEES GET OUT THE GAFF HOOK headline 

    “Dees gaff a big fish” 

    The media are so ingenious.

    Yes yes yes. Gaff would be another star and make our midfield completely awesome. 

    I think we would have to consider the retirement of Vince to fit him in. 

    When we win the flag this year, I think Vince and Lewis may bow out.

    That'll free up some cap space...

    Jake Niall writing that the Dees have space for Gaff is code for the Dees being right into Gaff and well in the race to sign him.

    Our midfield is probably already the best in the comp and thats with all the elite young talent yet to play anywhere near 100 games of footy.  The improvement to come will be scary.

    If you add in Gaff to that....   whats the level above scary?

    This is true but there wouldn't be much difference higher or lower than the top failed billed (if the failed bid for him is the highest offer).

    The way North sees it, it is slowly but surely pricing competitors out of the market over a few years, and they will eventually land a big fish. If they play finals this year (and they will), that only helps their chances.

    I'd focus on re-signing Brayshaw and T Mac first. Then Gaff comes after that.

    well given gaff won't make a decision before october (unless to weagles) then that is pretty well axiomatic

    He will play for whoever he chooses, as all offers will be good monetarily, and it all boils down to what other factors are important to him. If money is everything, you will see him at either North or Stkilda. If its finals action, welcome to the MFC A.Gaff. That is all assuming he wants out of W.A. ofc.

    The Eagles will only match his offer if it doesn't qualify for a round 1 compo pick, which it certainly should, based on his current value.

    If he hasnt signed before the finals he is gone.

    MFC will be up to their eyeballs in this.

    I very much hope we land him as he would slot in perfectly.

    I have no inside info, simply a feeling that he's already verbally committed to us, ala Lever.

    I expect a Demonland "insider" will take a similar guess sooner or later too.

    I hope we don’t get him. I’m scared of the blow back from Shannon Hurn and the rest of the Eagles players. They’ll be so mad.

    He’d cop a bloody good booing over here if he left. Eagles fans boo their own for dropping a mark.

    You left out the one who knows the inner workings of the club better than anyone and whos sources are as good as it gets.  Hes the only one who knows if Gaff is coming or not... and not even Gaff himself knows.

    Paging him now  @Satyriconhome

    I’ll answer for Grand New Flag. I’ve been told Gaff is keen on coming to the Dees. Plenty of water to go under the bridge until then but signs are all positive. If the deal can get done it will get done.

    Don't give up your day job, I did speak to Jason Taylor today but it was about Austin Bradke

    On Gaff, we don't seem to have issues with outside run at the moment, but this is first season Gaff has consistently played inside as well, out of necessity

    We would be silly not to enquire, I just don't want us in a bidding war

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
