Finally caught up with my source this morning who told me that Gaff definately wants to be a Demon next year. I pressed for a bit more but that’s all he would give me.

The hysteria over what should happen to Gaff is absurd, Just as it was with Bugg. Appalling hit and will be dealt with harshly, as it should be. Starting point 6 weeks as that is what Bugg got an

Just heard Mark Brayshaw on SEN.  He spoke exactly as I suspected. Thankfully, he has far more class than the outrage merchants on here who seem to salivate during these types of unfortunate even

I miss the Riddler. That's all I'll say.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get slightly excited when they see a thread like this rise from the dead after not having a post for a few days?  I'm always anticipating some news on the subject, but it rarely is.

Yep, this is a Melbourne supporter's wet dream this time of year. And for all the wrong reasons.

so both whitfield and gaff will be free agents at the end of 2020? iiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting

Dunno about interesting anymore. Bit of a time-sink these 100 page Kelly, Gaff, Whitfield and wait for it.. Prestia pipedreams of the past few years that never went anywhere.

Ah, this old chestnut. 106 pages. Didn't think we'd be back here so soon.

It depends what we'd be willing to pay for him. Langdon on one wing, Gaff on another, with Tomlinson as the utility that roams between the arcs. I like it if we don't blow our cap.

Having those three runners on the MCG would make us a lot harder to play against on the spread.

Eagles CEO said today that teams had inquired but totally rebuffed. Gaff had apparently called Simmo so he could be reassured nothing was happening, and he was told 100% that he was staying. 

Zero in it. 

We're you tapping into the phone call on your shoe phone?

Apparently Gaff has a contract clause that makes him an UFA at the end of this season, despite having a valid contract with the Eagles until 2024.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

You also have to wounder if this will set a precedent amoung free agents.

The bloke is way too tentative in just about all aspects of his professional life it seems.

Unable to fully commit to the Eagles, extremely timid throughout the entirety of the whole king hit fiasco, and seemingly ambivalent with his disposals.

Even with his good kicking skills, he is a player you don't tend to notice that much in games (rightly or wrongly - bar that brain fade). He makes Garland look like the most outgoing footballer there ever was.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
