I’ll keep saying it. He is in the Red & Blue next season!

Gaff will be a dee is what I was told today from somebody that should know. 

What happened?

 

I’ve got more confidence of Gaff being a Demon next year than the Dees of playing finals this year. (And I have zero inside info on either scenario, well besides being let down by the club for the last 12 years). 

I’m not sure why posters feel the need to attempt to big note themselves by claiming inside information on player movements. Common sense would tell me it’s only August therefore there’s no way Gaff would have 100% committed to any club at this time. 

Posting in all capitals and using excessive exclamation marks doesn’t make it anymore credible either.

But it was ‘someone’ that should know! And a wise man once told me to believe everything said on DL.

Homework tonight is to figure out how we can get Gaff.

Have it on my desk tomorrow morning.

Maybe make some tough decisions.  Jones and Lewis to coaching roles.  Frees up salary cap.  Offer $1.2m a season if that is needed.

It’s a start. The rest can take a leaf out of your book.

Lewis is still contracted for next year isn't he? That means he will still be in the cap.

Yeah, in Parliament.  Rl. 

Or heads of business.    Maybe the heads of the Church?

All the kings horses, and all the kings men ?

 

Or could that possibly be, the collective minds of the common folk.?

I was remembering the argus Red&Blue print.

And his cricket plans.

Not if he retires before SC census date this year. Example: Cyril at Hawks.

Can free up cap space. Lewis as an assistant coach in 2019 puts his wage under the FD, I believe.

Don't quote me on that though.


Norf supporters on BF think they are getting Gaff this year and Josh Kelly next year.  

You’d have to be seriously desperate for cash to go to North over Melbourne or even Essendon. If Gaff picks North good luck to him. I don’t want anyone at our club who cares only about money. Winning and success has to be the main motivation if you come to Melbourne, as we have lots of great players we need to fit into the cap going forward.

He may not but I wouldn't take any notice of your postings, you are the king of hysteria.

Can see it now.

"Who has the best midfield?" threads, with norf supporters talking up some nobody side into second, so they can then type a novel about why they are number 1

 

"Cunners, Zeibs and Benny J cutting the packs open, and feeding the ball to Gaffer and Joshy K. Wow, we will be invincible!"

 

Norf suporters are my favorites.

Don’t think so.  Cyril retired and the articles were all about how much salary cap freed up.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
