Does the Eagles winning the Flag make it more or less likely that Gaff becomes available?

I missed a GF once through injury & have to say it made it easy to walk away the year after due to feeling no emotion to the Premiership....in fact it felt worse than losing 1.Who thinks now that he is more of a chance of jumping ship & who thinks it will push him into staying on at WCE?

I 'm not sure winning the premiership will make much of a change to his decision making.  I think for Gaff it's a question of whether he wants to come home and be near his family (and be very well compensated) or remain at West Coast and be not so handsomely paid (but still on pretty big money). If anything it may free up room in the Eagles TPP due to not having to fork out over the top money to retain Lycett.

An interesting take on it.

I do agree if you weren't on the park you won't have the same bond. Some might suggest that for some that might make the hunger stronger but I'd be inclined to also think , if were I, what are the chances of back to back etc. That's very difficult.

I think you can become a bit of an outsider after this sort of thing

He looked a broken man yesterday. I totally disagree with what he did, but gees hasn’t he paid the ultimate price now!

A part of me suspects he will never be the same again. If North want to throw their dumb chest at him, then so be it.

It goes to show just one minute of madness can be a lifetime of pain.

Or a new start might invigorate.

Now I know this is a less than ideal analogy... it's all a bit like when your better half cheats on you. You don't ever go back to the 'normality' it once was. 

No one's cheated on Gaff ..but the others did something he didn't. 

If me. I'd leave. Fresh start..head down, bum up...get into it.

If Gaff and looking at lists and prospects ...we leave the Nuff Norfs in the dust. FMD.. .. we're already 2nd fact for flag next year...wtf lol.

Gaff is a mid.. who's midfield would you rather compliment ?

In the post-match commentory on ABC radio, they said he had separated himself from others in the rooms, and was "crying his eyes out".

I will be totally amazed if Gaff stays at West Coast. He would have made his mind up already and he would have announced it ahead of the GF as a morale booster.  His obvious devastation yesterday was because he could have left on the high note of a flag but for his action and suspension.

Will most probably nominate North for megabucks but I suspect we've been right in the discussion for a long time and the Hogan trade may be giving us scope to the offer, there's a chance he comes to us.

Purely speculation on my behalf, but the Hogan/May developments may have also opened up cap space, letting us back into the Gaff conversation. 

A hypothetical...nothing more

Before Eagles win Premiership..Gaff just an Eagle..biding his time...do I dont I...  maybe a shltload of money aint a bad thing.

After Eagles win Premiership .. Gaff an outsider in his own neighbourhood now.  Hard to re-bond with existing...was looking to fresh fields anyway....but maybe the lustre of a Cup is shinier now than before.. Option....somewhere just for money..lots... somewhere else where that Window is ajar...still going to get  more than a fist-full of green !! Hmmmmmm

...and just maybe after yesterday winning a premiership takes a precedent over money or the desire to be an inside mid.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
