1. No one truly knows but i doubt it will. I also doubt we would be in the market for him if he wanted more than 1mil a yr 2. Probably. Lewis has a more thuggish reputation and we loved it when he signed.

Doubt there will be a defence. With Gaff's record and the past incident being similar in weeks he will plead guilty and apologise and take 6-7 weeks. I agreed with Bartel and Lloyd, i don't think the AFL would want him to potentially play in a GF after this incident so 8 weeks down to 7 with a good record is my guess.

That's fine, but what happens when Gaff doesn't react like he has done every other game of his career. Waste of time and energy.

I don't think Brayshaw and Gaff shared the same emotions. I don't think AFL teams are going to go after Gaff who only has ever snapped once in 200 games. Nor by the time he plays again anyone will remember/care.

Why would Angus be affected or do you mean Andrew? I'm not saying what Gaff did isn't serious or he should get off. I'm just not prepared to call someone who has been a nice level headed guy for his entire career a thug or question his character because of a brain snap. It's how he reacts to this and by all accounts so far you see the remorse. I also share symphathy for the Brayshaw family.

Gaff was a marked man yesterday after the hit and he took it all on the chin and still walked off the ground with his head down.

One mistake shouldn't throw away 200 games without incident. Would love him at the club and i'm sure he will face the consequences like a man, like Bugg did.

Thanks for the answer. Eagles will be fuming.

So we don't have to offer any picks or players? Just give him money?

Can anyone tell me how we would be able to bring a Gaff to the club considering we have nothing really to offer.

Brayshaw may be more all rounded but i don't think he has the highs of Petracca

Surely we have decent cap space? Vince is on the way out at the end of the season and even then i doubt he is on massive wages. Also Lewis is done within a year or two. Does anyone have any sources as to what our players are on? I feel like if we are close to topping out our cap space with our current squad than that's a massive error. We overpaid for Lever yes, but our only star right now is Hogan and he isn't on a million a year. We should also be saving cap space for new deals for the younger potential players. It's noticable that with the new rise to the cap that Petracca and Oliver got new deals straight away.

I've made the decision to stop complaining about selection.

Watts played second string to Hogan and bagged 40 goals. McDonald played as an only tall, we haven't seen if he can work off Hogan.

If we had Watts no one would be worried.

get in trac

The sports version of "Build it and they will come" is "Win things and they will stay"

We couldn't offer Port anything worth while unless we dump Hogan. I accepted a while ago that Hogan was going to head home and then he went and signed a new deal, i think we should repay that loyalty and not force him out so we can get a new shiny player. I'd also rather save cap space so we can secure the guns we got already. If Petracca and Oliver continue to develop everyone in the comp will be throwing big money at them, so we need to be prepared. Finally, Tyson isn't an A grade midfielder, but he does work and seems commited to the club. You can't have 22 great players and i am quite happy with his contribution (Maybe he could kick a bit better) and i think he is in our best 22 everyday of the week.

Gettin deals don holla at me

They'll release another article about how Lever is a snake to cover this trade up. Is Roosy doing 'League Teams' again this year? I'm sure he will stir things up.

Confirmed Jake Lever coming to Melbourne to become boxing partner for Nate Jones

As much as i liked Goodwins adaptability in games, i often found our initial game plans didn't work and he was forced to change it. When we got going we played well, but we had troubles being consistent all year. I hope it's just a personnel issue and that another pre season with the current team and hopefully Lever as an addition we can move forward.

We can't rely on Oscar down back forever. It's in the McDonald genes to roam forward eventually.

I'm assuming if it got to that we would do a million dollar deal for 1 year and then sign him down to a 3 year 750k a year deal aftr that?
