Gator

Saty is a bald faced liar never to be trusted again.

You're trying too hard to get noticed.

@Satyriconhome You're exceptionally economical with the truth. Why would Eagles supporters be shocked with Gaff's B&F in 2015 when he made AA and finished the season with the second most disposals for the year ? Even if he wasn't the pick of everyone they'd hardly be "shocked". We've now established you tell porkies. Also, answer Baghdad's question. You said he hadn't won one and moments later say Eagles supporters were shocked he had. Best to fess up and show some character.

The guy has had his pants pulled down, but doesn't have the class to admit it.

Adelaide matched on Dangerfield, which is why a trade was done.

I'm ignorant of the situation. Like most, or everyone here. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating. That said, I will say that I'm not perturbed by hearsay. Those in judgment will have heard the rumours in this thread and are seemingly not concerned by them. We have very smart people at the helm. If you're an every day punter and reckon you have better "mail' than the club then you're delusional. Everyone knows everyone's business inside of footy. Don't pretend you know a secret the club doesn't.

I think he likes to show how dual-sided he is, but his ego is getting in the way.

If you listen to Angus on a recent MFC podcast there's near zero chance of him leaving.

He turns 18 in May, so he's either turned 18 or will in the next week, which means he's roughly 18 months younger than Filipovic. I'd say he'd be aware of a looming threat.

You've misread me. I give no weight to who a player supported as a child and have said so countless times on Demonland.

Melbourne's structure has completely changed over the last 4 weeks. It bears no resemblance to the first few rounds. Against Hawthorn the only tall in the forward-line was Hogan. The last few weeks it's been Hogan, McDonald, Weideman and Gawn on rotation. It's no surprise with this new structure Gawn has kicked goals each of the last 3 weeks. He had no chopout against Hawthorn. Unless you consider Harmes and Petracca a chop out. The back six have also individually hit form. Previously Oscar was the only one who could hold his head high. Brayshaw to the middle has been important. And Salem played his best game last week going back to a back flank. When referencing our season I'm surprised how some supporters don't recognise what has been a quantum shift in so many areas. We are a very different proposition compared to the early rounds. That said, I get that the noise won't change until we beat top eight teams.

Gaff is having a great year and much of what I didn't like last year he's addressed, so I'm all on board. Unlike Wise, I'd be surprised if he stays with West Coast. It's just a gut feel. Them playing well might make it harder for him to leave though. If he did leave he'd perfectly top off our list. I also reckon we'd be close to the top of his wish list. Play at Etihad every second week, or play at the G where you used to go to as a kid to watch your beloved Demons ?

I love it when people make all encompassing statements about a person when they're not privy to any relevant knowledge. Please correct me if this statement isn't true. I'm not privy to such information either, but seeing his rehabbing videos from a torn ACL, my gut feel is you're way off the mark. Preseason training reports from my Brother also confirmed Petracca's endurance running was far better than Brayshaw's.

This is too easy. Managers never rule out a young player like Brayshaw leaving when he's in the final year of his contract especially when two weeks ago he didn't have huge currency with his incumbent club (from a financial perspective). That's what managers are paid to do. To see what options might be out there to put some pressure on the existing club. This goes on all of the time. But in no way does that mean his preference is to leave. I have zero doubt his preference is to stay - assuming Melbourne's offer is reasonable. Players "consider their options" all the time when they're in the final year of their contract. So when anonymous posters say "I have heard he's looking around", unless it's a rock solid source, such as the player himself saying he's not happy and wants a move, I take no notice of that sort of hearsay at all. None. It means nothing.

I'm glad you added that. It's nothing more than regurgitated hearsay. I place no weight on that whatsoever. Thanks for clarifying.

I didn't call you a nuffie, but I did explain how many "I've heard" commentaries have zero veracity and how nuffies can believe them to be fact. I'll ask again, who told you he was looking around and how would they know ?

These are the worst kind of posts on footy forums. You provide zero context and one is left guessing as to the veracity of the contribution. From experience one nuffie relays a comment they've heard from another nuffie who read the link on a news outlet that Brayshaw, who wasn't getting a game at the time, should potentially seek a trade to Freo. Cue the nuffie relating 4th hand info as though it's fact. It happens all of the time. Said nuffie actually "heard" nothing. Having said all of that, I'm virtually certain Brayshaw won't want to leave all of his mates when they're on the verge of maturing into the side we and they have hoped for. It just doesn't make sense. And if it doesn't make sense it won't happen.

Who from ?

Brayshaw's manic attack on the ball and player is back. He doesn't have Petracca's ceiling, but he can become our Cotchin. Oliver, Viney, Petracca, and Brayshaw can become the best collective of midfielders in the AFL.

Haven't seen you in a while, Biff. Have you been on an enforced sabbatical ?

They virtually always look after the player with the larger body of work.

What year did I start ? And what was my issue with him ?

Does anyone know if he's related to recent former Board member Peter Spargo ?

Poor bastard. The dolts on here will be critiquing his every disposal.

The following is what he said, "Yes, that is his Matchday role, he is never in the box, what a [censored] joke and the usual nuff nuffs on here run with it". Do you think there's a chance this wouldn't have become such an issue if he didn't refer to others, who were actually correct about McCartney being in the box, as "nuff nuffs" ? Just maybe ? If not, change your username.
