Golden Balls is a nickname given to a gifted player of a ball sport, Beckham used to get it from opposition supporters We are discussing whether in our opinions, which in the big scheme things, don't matter a jot, the club should chase him There are similar topics about other players, Sloane was always going to stay, in my opinion, so didn't join in on that one

Weaknesses identified by who? The experts on here David King I don't deny he gets a bazilllion touches, but it is what he does with them, he goes missing when the heat is on With the three i mentioned all playing well last week, it gave him the opportunity to rack up the touches His inside work has only appeared this year and is inconsistent He reminds me of Priddis with his accumulating but not hurting, how Priddis won a Brownlow still amazes me I have an opinion on every player on the Melbourne list, but there is enough vitriol and denigration of their playing abilities already on this forum As you can see, apart from yourself, the ones who replied are those that require validation, apart from the one that just seems to explode from the excitement these days As I said if the club decides to sign Golden Balls, that's ok with me, I have no say in it

Here's three of the reasons Gaff is looking good this year Shuey Redden Yeo

No opinion is right or wrong, it is an opinion Not sure which bit you don't get You only have to read the game day and post match to see differing opinions on the same player It is only a certain type of person that requires validation that their opinion is the correct one and others are wrong

You should try reading some of your posts over the years Not sure which bit you dont get If the Club signs Gaff, cool, means they have a different opinion on him to me I can live with it, only seems you and some of your ilk can't Gaff had a good game today

The point is their similar repeat posts all over this forum, the denigrating of Tyson being one

Oh so finally I'm allowed an opinion Will support him 100% if he becomes a Melbourne player, if he does, will look fwd to the first game he plays and the Game Day topic

It is an opinion, as I said FD may have completely different one, said if they sign him, not going to sulk, just not a fan

Shares let me, 43000 shareholders?

He hasn't taken it to a new level, he just seems to have because West Coast were skiing downhill, last 3 games back to his accumulating best

I've never rated him, there are others who think the same, unfortunately groupthink and FOBLO takes over, why anything becomes popular Priddis was the same, how he won the Brownlow always staggered me As for the AA team, how Nev Jetta hasn't been in it for last two years says it for me

Thank you, he is an accumulator, let's look at Redden and Shuey for impact or work rate Oh please, so you would say he is better than Oliver, have a lie down chap, you need it I was watching the game, but thank you, never been and never will be impressed by him, he is an accumulator, always has been, always will be, if we sign him, all well and good as the FD have a different opinion to me 9 disposals that did what?

And the heat comes on in the 4th and he goes missing........again

I know your point, you were surprised why Jackson wasn't involved, the Board picks the CEO, they make seek informal advice from the incumbent if required, but they pick, same as any business, as soon as PJ told me he had no input, not surprised with Bartlett's words I can't understand why you are surprised, I am surprised by the fact that you don't seem to think the club is a business any more, when everybody from the Chairman uses the words "the industry we are in", not the sport

I am not surprised he wasn't involved, not sure why you are We did nearly fold years ago This is business now, it is 2018, not meat raffles any more I asked him a direct question and got a direct answer, trust him not to [censored] to me, which was the case

Sorry chap the administrative side is a buisness we have CEO, CFO and COO, not sure which bit confuses you Wilson did not name the 'influential' Melbourne 'supporters' so rumour I asked PJ would he be ticking off the appointment before it was announced and straight out 'to a supporter' he said no, a board decision, why I find the article a load of [censored]

That was my first conversation, approached at training, rock and a hard place, says and does too much is then interfering

This is Wilson, she has form, half of it is unsubstantiated rumour, as you can see, as per norm, she doesn't name names Normal business doesn't get the outgoing CEO to tick off the incoming

This is Caroline Wilson I have, he is approachable at functions etc, it's just supporters don't approach, always seems to have the best intentions for the Club

1. I don't rate Gaff like others do 2, MFC footy dept may rate him fine 3. I know West Coast supporters who were shocked/surprised with his B&F win 4. Where has this stellar form been for last 2 years 5. We have some exploding posters on here 6. Don't give a flying what the Keyboard Warriors on here think about me There you go paraphrase and misrepresent away

I am not worried, gee paraphrasing, misrepresentation, runs the whole gamut of trying to point score Forgot this was a schoolyard for 'grownups' "Superstars" regularly win B&F my point to Picket, he won once, in a victory that was a shock to West Coast supporters I know, some think he is brilliant, others have the same opinion as me, an accumulator and nothing else, in comparison may I say nobody was surprised when Clarry won MFC B&F If we select Gaff, cool, can then sit back and watch the angst if he doesn't chase defensively or go when it is his turn I am answering like for like, the only language some on here understand, if there is a discussion/debate then fair enough, but hey contrary opinion to the group think.......only derision

Gaff has had games like last Friday night, agree he has been showing more inside this year, but when the heat was on against an aggressive inside midfield, he went missing

Wrong why, I explained my answer, rather than take potshots like others Why apologise, his B&F shocked hardcore West Coast supporters, because I know a few What's wrong? can't handle a different opinion, you didn't answer my post, but I expect little else Interesting that lesser mortals leave this site, as if they dare to be contrary, they get abuse/derision/etc etc Hey faux tough guy, your normal running in from behind to king hit, without actually contributing to the topic, classy It is an opinion of a particular player, if you don't agree and have a contrary view, how about expressing why, or is it just the "oh my he is a free agent, let's get him'

Misrepresenting what I said to make a point I think Gaff is overrated Think Stretch has the tools to be developed into a player who can fill the role everybody thinks Gaff is made for

Of course we are interested, he is a free agent, lot of water under the bridge yet though, no issue with the club if they bring him in, I just don't rate him as a player, everybody has a different opinion, each week Goody picks a side, not everybody likes who he picks I just don't understand the absolute hysteria surrounding him, he may be a reasonable player, but he is no superstar
