North seem to have more salary cap room which makes it interesting; wouldnt be surprised if the Pies make a play if they dont get Lynch.

 

Clubs have to pay 95% of the cap? So if North had a war chest last year, where did that money go? And why is it spare again? Anyone explain?

Have heard one scenarion ( from a Geelong supporter) that Geelong could get Gaff. I said they would have trouble with Salary cap. His reply was Kelly wants to go home (do not know why when WC & Freemantle did not want a bar of him over the years). Taylor may be retiring , Ablett is not costing then much and Menzel wants out. So by throwing in a Trade may swing a deal.  Far fetched !!!, but it is amazing how some clubs work their way around things. (Like being a promotions officer for a large sponsor)

Just like we did years ago we paid some contracts in advance which clears up space in future.

Robbo thinks it is WC or North. (I have heard it is WC or Melbourne.)

"All-Australian Gaff clearly is in demand.

The Kangaroos believe it’s between them and West Coast and while St Kilda is making noises about wanting to talk to Gaff — and any player who has a pulse, for that matter — they accept he isn’t going to call Moorabbin home."

Have you heard so from a credible source or just general noise? The noise around Melbourne getting him has gone very quiet! (Not necessarily a bad thing though)

Cheers mate, but that's a hell of a lot of money!

Last year the sal cap went up by $2+m per annum.  North didn't use it all.

New cap is $12.6m @95% they can save $630k per annum and stockpile.  So $630k becomes $1.26m then $1.71m.  So they could easily have a 'war chest' of around $1.0 - 1.5m just from stockpiling.  Not sure how many years it can be stockpiled - it used to be 3 years but don't know now.

Thanks LH, that makes sense otherwise there would be dodgy happenings going on. I didn't know they could stockpile it so cheers.

That may also be the reason Mahoney is on record saying we can afford 2 A graders this year, hmmm the plot thickens.....

A guy called Brad Hardie reckons Gaff is a good chance to go to Ess:

"Right now the Bombers might be the most intriguing of them. (North. Ess. Melb). My information is that Gaff met with them twice last week and John Worsfold is the bloke who gave him his start in the league."

https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/brad-hardie-andrew-gaff-in-crosshairs-for-wooshas-bombers-ng-b88927628z

Does this Hardie guy have reasonable credibility? 

If we don't get Gaff I hope we have someone else in the pipeline as our loses show we desperately need someone who is a very good kick.

Nah he's a shocker, up there with Morris, Langdon, Whateley, McClure and Hagdorn.

Plus the upfront payments. Players like Fritsch for example who would be on base pay of say $100k for 2 years, you might say we'll pay you $200k this year and nothing for the next year.  

Need not too worry about all the commentary on Gaff!

He will be a Demon!

Do you have some solid mail, Dee?

I also see you have Darcy Moore listed as one of your favourite players... hmmm!

There’s no way that any deal is 100% done at this time of year.

I find it hard to imagine that being true. 

After the Tom Lynch/ Buckley meeting fallout, I can't imagine Gaff taking the risk of meeting with any other club officials last week - especially in the same week of his tribunal hearing!

Every year for the last four years Hardie has stated he has inside information that Hogan will be going home. He has no idea.

a little cipher.

v = vibe

k = knowledge

f = you're a family member

nfi-iass = no idea, i like stirring.

Another option is NIIJSG = no idea it just sounds good.

This applies to a large proportion of posts.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
