Gaff or Andrew Brayshaw Rumour

Not really buying the Gaff rumours. I think it's coming up due to what the Cats are asking for Tim Kelly, but they pushed hard to re-sign him at the end of 2018. Hard to see that changing now.

    We need to decide whether we want a small forward or a half back/winger.   Once they decide just take Serong or Young, I wouldn’t be trading pick 3

    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. 

    Don’t doubt you, but there is the concept of over-supply (one paced mids) and need (speed speed (Frost), ability to break a tackle (Kent), ability to hurt with defensive intent...etc)

     

    He is captaincy material and good stock so that is the big negative.

    Geelong don’t need a high pick for Kelly, they need a mature quality mid for Kelly, as they are of the belief their window is still open (Ablett, Danger, Selwood...). 

    Not rebuilding...

    Yet.

    Gaff, in my view, is precisely the player we need. Given his age i wouldn't give up pick three. But gaff and their first round pick (14?) might get the deal done?

    They need 2 x 1st rounders plus a 2nd rounder for Tim Kelly. One of those 1st rounders might be next year. Think they'll give 14 to Cats

    Surely pick 3 gets it done for Kelly?

    According to AFL website WCE have resigned themselves to part with 2 x 1st and one 2nd

    14, another pick inside of 19 and 24

    Gaff at the end of last year was really appealing given that we’d made a preliminary final. The missing ingredient of outside gut running was there for the taking in the form of an RFA. It seemed ideal. 

    Fast forward to now, the completion of our season, the acceptance by many that we may still be further away than we thought, the status of the list, Gaff being a year older but, still playing very good footy...

    Is it still a wise decision?

    I’m not so sure.

    They are talking a future first next year along with 14 and 24, then a later swap of picks.

    Big haul for the cats, but not Judd-like

    Rumour starting to grow legs that Gaff could very well be traded this year. Not sure with whom or for what, just heard it's a genuine possibility.

     

    Your onto something here Nev, A certain somebody needs our pick 3 to prize away a certain player from down the highway.

    Who could that be??????

    They should be Verrry aging old list, prepare for the bottoming out ...maybe as soon as next year! With Kelly out as well looking vulnerable!! Gaff plus another draft for pick 3 A huge YESS FROM FENCE!!

    Kelly deal has already been done, albeit not officially. So won't involve us.

    Yep just saw the news over here as well, this year’s first and second pick and next year’s first pick for Kelly.

    I don't think pick 3 is enough for Tim Kelly. If you could be guaranteed to get a player as good as Kelly in the draft you would take him at pick 3 in a heartbeat, even knowing that you would need to invest in his development for 3-4 years before he comes into his prime.

    Blimey, that's a steep price. Terrific player but 25ish and has only played 2 seasons.

    Not necessarily. The Gaff rumour is simply that the Eagles might look to move him on. Not that he was ever to be involved in the Kelly trade.

    Interesting, a couple of work colleagues (Blues fans) told me earlier today the Blues are considering making a play for Gaff. They claim to have a reliable source from within and they couldn’t contain their excitement at the possibility. 

    If true not sure how they fit Papley, Gaff and even Martin in.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
