Rumour has it WCE have offered 6 x $850,000, naturally I'm unsure if true.

NM have apparently offered 7 x $1.2m

I'm surprised North have offered him a lifetime deal at $2m, such is their pathetic desperation to land a decent footballer.

    We aren't building the cake so to speak, we are in icing territory and we need skills and outside talent to take the next step and win a flag.

    Totally this. Gaff is very tasty icing, even moreso given he can now also play on the inside.

    This year's draft we can go purely best available as there is not much in the need category. Maybe trade for a ruck or find a mature age one.

    @Chook in Perth normally has pretty good contacts and mail.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Gaff won't be off to MFC.

    I am hearing some hot sauce that he is off to...

     

    Wait for it

     

    Canberra to be on ScoMo's ticket.

     

    Thanks mods :mistake emoji:

    Bombers fans are convinced Gaff will nominate them. Im not so sure.

    Polec has been offered a fortune at North, and Port are preparing for him to take it.

    Reckon Shiel is a big chance to get to Essendon if they dont get Gaff.

    Glad we have finals to focus on this year.

     

    Nah nah, Shiel to Hawks, take it too the bank. It all makes sense.

    Based on Sundays game Im not sure how useful McGovern is as a forward. lacks some skill and class for mine.

    We have invested years into these Key Position Players. I would be peeved if one of them was traded for a midfielder 

    not cool

    There is no better news breaker after the event than Ethan. He is a Giant among his peers.

    Update: So immediately prior to the Gaff-bash (copyright pending) I posted a cross-reference to a wild rumour on another shall remain nameless website re.Gaff crossing to the MFC - primarily to dig out our own inside connections and stir up some action, but which was immediately called out by Ethan the Newsbreaker among others as baseless.

    The original poster has now openly revealed himself as an outright troll - quoth: "I posted a scandal not a rumour. There is no differentiation. It was a complete fabrication loosely linking a few wild comments by others. A simple moment taken to type up a possibility to see how it travels. 13 pages or sometimes emotional ranting is enough for me."

    I would ordinarily call for a lynching if such passed muster on this beloved site of ours, but I don't want to propagate any notion that Lynch may be coming to Melbourne. Otherwise, I remain convinced that Gaff will be in the red & blue as of next year, despite the trolls and own special Picket.

    Me either.

    I would have liked him at the club, but if someone like North are offering godfather type money, then we need to step away and either look elsewhere or continue to back in others to improve.

    Based on what, Tom?

    Usually, if you make a call about something you attempt to back it up with something of a plausible nature - particularly when you’re a journalist.

    Yep agreed, he’s an icing on the cake type player for us. I’m sure we will have a look at other options that play a similar role

    Happy to spend the mill or so a year on what we have. Let the draft boys pluck a few more diamonds. Fridge and spargo have been priceless. Not sure which one we got for watts but it has worked out. Best thing, I am sure they will keep getting better!

    The offseason just got more exciting....  cant wait to see what Mahoney and co. have up their sleeve if Gaff really is going elsewhere.

    The club would have been looking/talking to Gaff for the past year.  But now, I would say the development of Harmes and Brayshaw thave reduced our need for Gaff, especially if we had to break the bank to get him.

    Use the money to keep the talent we have which still has so much upside.

    My thoughts exactly. Sure they will package up someone for someone or a pick.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
