I don’t think you understand what I’m saying mate. Simply, if we were interested previously, I doubt we still are.

Dan Hanneberry
I can’t be bothered checking, but I’ll take your word for it, and Hannebery is decidedly under contract, so (barring gross ignorance) the rumour appears too unlikely to be made up. However, I believe it to be very very unlikely that we’d still be interested, if we ever were.

To be fair, it’s possible to get “good mail” on a player without knowing how to spell his name correctly... However this seems unlikely to me.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Potting Hogan is premature and/or misguided. I think he’s carrying an injury.

This naiive sort of appraisal is what sees a club walk away with empty hands, and contend for nothing. We won’t sign Gaff by winning a bidding war; there is more to the equation the just $$$ And it’s all relative; Gaff would rather earn a massive amount of cash in the right situation, than a relatively slightly more massive amount of cash at a club where it’s an uneasy fit. Culture is everything, and we have it. Whitfield or Kelly would be just as great, but are they even available? Are they likely to jump ship on GWS? Would they cost the same $$$ and tradable assets? Gaff is the FA looking to come back to Victoria. Don’t be distracted by longshot potential scenarios for other similar players.

Andrew Gaff
Over-age player in the TAC Cup, has injuries, hasn’t got the same exposed form but has promise, was a late pick last year when his brother went at pick 2, so was overshadowed fairly significantly. I think myself and most dees supporters only paid attention because he was a Brayshaw.
-
Andrew Gaff
Mark Brayshaw’s interview brings some much needed perspective to the feeding frenzy. I wish he’d spoken sooner, but I’m sure he was careful not to minimise such an act prior to judgment. This incident has come to be about more than just Gaff & Brayshaw.

Andrew Gaff
If he still had a foot in the Eagles nest, I think they may have lost it now. The strategy of trying to minimise Gaff’s culpability due to being provoked and the false claim that they played golf, may have actually irked the Gaff camp due to the likelihood it will result in a greater penalty than expected. I’m predicting 10 weeks.

Andrew Gaff
I actually think it was quite similar, in that he was aiming lower and missed.

Andrew Gaff
Personally, I’ve heard nothing regarding Gaff. Cards are being held close to the chest for now.

Can’t see why anyone would give all those details then suddenly go coy about the name of the “young mid”... This guy is just having a laugh.

Run home to Finals - 2018
I like our chances against the Eagles better than GWS, with their current outs. Even if they’re back, they’ll be rusty. And MCG or not, GWS are back to being formidable opponent.

Mark Neeld
Interesting questions & pondering, and I think we will struggle to know the answers with any great certainty.

Angus Brayshaw
I believe that was an impression of Saty fawning over the other midfielders and commenting on their mod-like attributes.

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
I fail to see where anyone has made that claim. Absurd conclusion to make.

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
Then you don’t understand the impact it has on the club.

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
Players, coaching staff and club admin all in the one place. Having them separated creates a significant disadvantage. You don’t want the football dept having to travel miles to get to the training track.

Probably trying to wind up Garry.

New CEO - Gary Pert
Don't be surprised if it turns out to be wrong though.

Interesting that those guys put their hand up for the job. Who would have guessed?

Having said that, the return for Dangerfield wasn't great. Dangerfield and pick 50... For picks 9, 28 and Dean Gore.
-
Andrew Gaff
I don't think they actually matched, just that they threatened to certainly match it (as that would have then tied Dangerfield to stay with the crows on an identical contract, to my understanding). However I am aware that the AFL plays it pretty free and loose with the rules in these situations.
