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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
