So far it's looked like one of the poorer top 5 drafts I can remember. Like his brother, kicking is a major issue.

How is this year's looking?

    Gaff’s 27 now and on a decent contract that probably gets extended at a new club. After watching him this year I’m not convinced he’s a big value player anymore. 

    Its not part of the Eagles game plan but he doesn’t really break lines on the wing anymore so they’ve moved him inside where he provides spread and a handball option to their stronger mids. His kicking is reasonably reliable but not as damaging as it was or was meant to be. 

    I’d want a lot back with him to include pick 3.

    For a website riddled with misinformation; Demonland can, at times, be quite educational.

    quite a good song by a great band off a cracker of an album.

    Cerra and 26 for 3???

    As good as Gaff is, it's worth remembering he will be approaching 28 when 2020 season starts. We paid 6 for May/KK, and May was 27 round 1, 2019. Different type of players, I know

    If take Brayshaw over Gaff.

    One’s got 5 year of stardom left.

    The other will be an absolute star in a couple of years for 5-10 years.

    Anyone who’s undecided about Brayshaw needs to watch his 3 goal performance against Freo late in the year at Marvel.

    For the sake of team balance though, do you invest a top end pick in a guy that is very similar to what you've already got? i wouldn't be doing it unless we were considering trading out one of Angus or Viney. 

    I'd rather just take pick 3 to the draft and pick up Lachie Ash.

    They rate our players too high and opposition players too low.

    Don't all supporters do that?

    I'm with you. Also would keep both brothers here you would think.

    Yes. We have some who are famous for it.

    Would consider trading 3 for Cerra, Langdon and 26.

    22 and 26 to GWS for pick 12

    Far fetched but I would do it

    Petrucelle would be a great get, liked his final against the Cats. With the Rioli situation and Bolton extending at Richmond you would think Eagles would be very keen to keep him now.

    Dees were into him big time during his draft year, just didnt make it to us unfortunately. Agree that the lack of Rioli will make it hard, but I think Geelong would be chuffed getting pick 3 back for Kelly.

    Doubt we’d get 26 back. As good as pick 3 is, Freo paid a top 10 for Cerra, and Langdon will be worth that 20-30 range. 3 for Cerra and Langdon is an interesting prospect.

    When people want what you have, you get to name the price and if not met, keep what you have.

    We are in the box seat and should go hard. Of course you ask for more than is reasonable. What you end up with is determined by other's desperation.

    Fair enough. The one problem I have deaing with Freo here is that Tim Kelly appears like he’d rather retire than end up at the Dockers

    We are in a pretty good position here.

    We have GWS wanting an early pick to try and get a pick earlier than the nomination for Green.

    Freo and West Coast in a war to get the highest pick to satisfy Geelong.

    Pick 3 for Gaff in a heartbeat.

    weve been into him for years

    Didn't make it to us? We chose Spargo, Fritsch & Petty before him. He made it to us, we chose not to pick him. Furthermore, we took Baker at 48, so it gives some clue into the mindset of our club 2 years ago, that we valued outside speed as a 4th priority with only a late pick.

    Edit: It might work out great though if the opportune pick of Petty at 38 becomes a mainstay and we address speed deficiencies elsewhere.

    Don't mind it at all. 

    what about 

    3 & 22  for 7, Langdon and 26

    Kelly's nominated West Coast, so can't see Freo becoming part of the equation. Looks like we're trying to keep splitting pick 3 separate to the Langdon deal.

    We've been into him for so many years he will be heading towards the ripe old age of 28 by start of next season.

    Pick 3 for Gaff only? Can't see it happening.

    Scott Brother 1 is on record saying he can't see the trade happen ans that he'd expect 4 round one picks and a player to trade out Tim Kelly. Seems reasonable.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
