I didnt see any posts from Phillyroo regarding Gaff......not to the levels of confidence of last year. Poor bugger getting lambasted for nothing here in my book.
There were huge levels of confidence from those who are in the know.....but until we see a presser where said player announcing his intentions to leave his club and join ours its never set in stone.
Those who share inside of trading info shouldn't be shot nor lambasted........if they know anything next year and didnt share with us all people here will be bugging the sch1t out them to hear the gossip and chatter. Its a no win situation lads.....probably best to share inside knowledge to those you know will keep it mum, and behind private messages away from lazy reporters as well. This way they can conjure up fake stories elsewhere from other "thourses" and other clubs.

Yep exactly.

A particular poster gave me a laugh.

Don't shoot the messenger. But seems some people do when it doesn't go their way. Only been here for a couple of years now but I know NN, GBS, Snake, GR aint making up BS either.

And don't hesitate to share more info as it comes across either guys. Or anyone for that matter.

I rate him equal to Gaff anyway, their statistical averages are about the same. Gaff has just played more games.

I consider Polec a big win. So its not all doom and gloom.

Better kick, just doesn't get as much of it.

 

[King Hansen]

Maybe we up the contract for Setterfield now

 

[year of the roo]

Thoughts on Kolojasnij as the plan B?

 

[roojor]

Bowen is generally on the money given he is a North fan he is the only person I am taking notice of in the next week in the media

 

[sbdan]

Kelly's homeward bound is an inevitability,...

Nothing is inevitable

 

[Gasometer]

I wonder if by chance one of the ITK posters here is not just a run of the mill poster like the vast majority of us, but actually a club official who has been part of the negotiations with the Gaffster? Just saying.

If they are, hand up your resignation this morning

 

[outwecome2play]

Well that didn't go to plan.

Firstly thanks to the posters who kept everyone up to date with what thye were hearing. It appears that this decision surprised everybody probably including the Eagles themselves. I suppose it's hard to leave somewhere you love however there are no guarantees in life so now he has to live with the decision and we all move on.

As much as i would love JK for next year i am not sure we can pull it off with such short notice. We really need to first round picks and this years will need to be used for Polec.

I am not sure that our tactic of letting everyone know about the 'war chest' was a good one. I feel that us along with St Kilda are being used to get better deals for players coming out of contract. It's interesting that St Kilda are offering Shiel the most money but everyone expects him to go to Carlton or Hawthorn.

Anyway if we can secure Polec, Hall and Finlayson for next season we would have improved our playing list. Our younger players are getting better and LDU will be a star.

Gaff isn't the first and wouldn't be the last player to not to knock us back. Is the North Melbourne football club worst off for it. I say a big no.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Really wanted Gaff but we’re still having a very good offseason. Polec is quality and along with Hall really adds a different dimension to what we have.

Last trade period we did bugger all and then went and doubled our win tally.

We’ve got plenty of organic growth left in us along with these additions. Lots of reason for optimism going forward.

This from the WCE

Andrew had a lot to consider in making what was a complex decision and we couldn’t be happier that he has re-committed to the club and his team mates.

“He is a young man of exemplary character and is universally respected across all levels of our club.

“Andrew is a real leader at our club and has been an integral part of our playing group for many years. At 26 years of age, we feel his best footy is still ahead of him, which is exciting for everyone. We look forward to Andrew continuing to build on what has been an outstanding contribution to our club.”

I'm ok with him staying at west coast no hard fillings

But If he committed to NM at some stage and we delisted players of the back of that to make room for him I wouldn't be talking about character.
Gary Lyon on sen this morning said something in the lines of the NM players were told he was coming 100% so there must of been something said !!
If that is true that's s**t form from a person with EXEMPLARY CHARACTER
Hope I'm wrong

If JK was amenable, it would happen

This situation is a wet dream for them..... perfect opportunity to peddle their relentless negativity and petty agendas. We've all worked or gone to school with these types... they're basically not happy unless they're complaining. It's like a drug for them

 

[Uber Roo]

48 hours ago I was excited for this upcoming week, and my phone being glued to trade radio.
Today those plans have been aborted. Not interested.
The prospect of Malakes Cornes and Mc Clure dancing on our graves makes me physically ill.

Therefore I’ll be checking here every hour , for GRs up to the minute and much appreciated updates.

I'm struggling to come to terms with how Josh Kelly could be classified as a "plan B"

 

[domiroo]

Well it didn’t Gaffen and he can GAGF .

Guess it’s the prospect of using picks as currency.

Dead set. Farcical to think if there was a chance with him this year we wouldn’t have been focused on that.

I think the only hope here is if GWS's financial position is as dire as some rumours suggest (or worse), and Kelly is definitely leaving at year end, then maybe GWS can be encouraged to let him go now and ease their financial pressures instantly.

They are throwing others out the door ahead of Josh.

I prefer the trolls who acknowledge they are trolls. Not the trojan horse ones.

I think we missed a chance to secure another long term KPD. Marcus Adams is a beast, he's only 25, and I'd be content with Adams becoming our main key defender as Tarrant ages. Majak is no spring chicken either at 27 years old.

Interesting. I agree, our KPPs are being falsely assumed to be in great shape because our midfield is so thin.

We have a few potential players but since all of the next line of KPD/KPF have played a collective 10 games between them we could well have a huge hole in the list when/if Tarrant, Daw, Thompson, Brown were to be unavailable.
