JDeGoo is a very good player. I'd love him but We can't afford him. Everyone's talking up the fact that we want Gaff, I want Gaff but there's no way we can get him without giving up quality. Who we getting rid of and don't say Tyson. He'd be the steak knives that Dom Barry was for Hoges.

Gaff is a free agent.

    So he can just wander to any club he feels like. I got no idea on such matters.

    No worries, here’s the lowdown:

    Restricted free agents have the right to move to a club of their choice, subject to the current club’s right of first refusal over their services. That is, if the current club can ‘match’ the offer from a suitor club, the player must stay or enter the draft.

    Thanx pal much appreciated. Still a fair bit to do then to get him over to our side but definately someone we could well do with. Outside run and he gives plenty of that.

    If Gaff wants to come to us it will happen.

    Do we really need Gaff?  or would it/we be better, with  a HF/Mid, who has a touch of magic inside the 50 ?

    Think StevieJ.

    yeaa!!

    let's get it to the magic million

    You do realise the other clubs play games to up the price of the retaining club

    And we should be doing likewise... talk him up DJ.  The pies also want Lynch.  And no doubt, quietly would like Gaff as well.

     

    And we should be into all of them,,,, until we see where the lye of the land is.

    you don't think De Goey could add anything to us?

    scorn isn't your best suit et.

     

    So now, Dee Goey anyone ?

     

    Forget Gaff, Jordan is the won we want.  the Roos are into him, for good reason... he's a match winner.

  • Quote

    This season he’s basically doing what we expected Petracca to do. He’s kicked bags of goals when playing forward (5+6 goal games), and dominated in the midfield on both the inside and outside. We don’t have picks to get him, so pipe dream. Hopefully Petracca gets a rocket and follows De Goeys lead as he should be the better of the two.

    I don’t judge a player after three good games.

    Only problem I see with De Goey is that the dude can’t kick straight 

    I haven't watched him on enough occasions to debate that, but his recent games suggest he's adequate.?

     

    The way I see it is this,,, Gaff has been said to be soft, & too much an outside player,,, in past seasons.  Only this season has he started to get more contested ball, and started to play inside at the bounce, etc.

    Why only this year... and is this just a contract year thing for him... I like Gaff, but I want us to look far and wide this season for the right player fit for us...   Prior to us committing our last bit of salary cap space on another medium-speed midfielder.

     

    I don't think Gaff's 'quick', by any real measure, but maybe not slow.

    SO I wonder how he will add speed and a point of difference, to our midfield list?

     

    DeGoey certainly would add some speed, and a touch of magic to our on-ball division, and the list?

     

    Surely both would cost us similar, in terms of salary cap numbers.?

    I do not think Petracca will ever be a fast Mid. 

    I see Petraca as more a power mid, power medium-forward.

    But not so, agile and quick.

     

    I sense DeGoey is quick by foot, and his footy mind.

    So you think Gaff is quick enough, to bring us what we lack in the midfield.

    ... which I think is midfield speed and agility..

    Did you just quote yourself and ask yourself a question? 

    I'm awaiting the answer with anticipation although it's probably not something uncommon for Deeluded.

    Change of personnel and change of role. WCE have lost their two main clearance players from last year in Priddis and Mitchell to retirement. So Gaff is one of those filling that gap.

    Agree he is not lightning but he runs both ways from pocket to pocket and does so relentlessly

    Sure we could get De Goey, just don’t cry that we have to give up Petracca and Brayshaw to do it

    As I said I like Gaff... but with our dwindling resources in the salary cap, this deecision is Crucial, to get it right.   We are very one geared.  We are very much a power geared side,,, and i want us to add an extra dimension to our run and carry.

    Pace, breaks big games open.

    We can do it, IF we want to.

    Mind you it doesn't have to be DeGoey, but he has that x factor.   Whitfield, Kelly,  and no doubt others can do it.  But do they carry X factor.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
