It's a pity Gaff couldn't use the 'Ben Stokes' defense at the tribunal.
"Yeah, a teammate head-stomped the guy after I punched him, so how can you prove I'm the one who caused the damage?"
Unbelievable twosome - slam them both in the clinker.

Source? You can't just come onto Big Footy and make outlandish statements without backup. Arrogant.
I guess he's keen to know himself.I know these days players can usually get their way when they've decided to move and push comes to shove, but I reckon people are looking way too far into things like whether Gaff sold his house, his girlfriend changing jobs etc.
Leave aside the truth of the rumours for a sec - he's a restricted free agent. For somebody to be packing up their life here in preparation for next year he's taking a big gamble that the club won't match an offer he decides to accept. I believe the club when they say they don't know what he's doing either so I doubt they've given him any such guarantee that they'll let him go.
Maybe some players would take that risk and make those preparations to leave anyway. Sure, he could just move in with someone else for a bit if he has to stay in Perth. Sure, his girlfriend could just find another job here. But who the hell knows? You're trying to hit the dart board from 50m away.
Personally I think he is leaving but I just don't get the desperation for this whole thing to be sorted out immediately and all the tea leaf reading that comes with it. We'll get the decision when he's ready to let us know.
agree, dont think anyone has a clue what Gaff is gonna do. Its the Afl journalists job to stir up rumours and bullshit and hope people are dumb enough to believe it.I know these days players can usually get their way when they've decided to move and push comes to shove, but I reckon people are looking way too far into things like whether Gaff sold his house, his girlfriend changing jobs etc.

someone remind Gaffy they haven't beaten a top 9 team all seasonDodoro does indeed have a reputation for being a total flog who is hard to deal with and someone who loves to hijack the trade period.
That said he demanded and first and second rounder for Ryder ( picks 17 and 37).
So that would be the starting point for us to asks them to match.
For what it’s worth I don’t think he will choose Essendon. It he leaves it will be for the best coin ( Which going by media speculation would be North) or he goes to Melbourne to play with the side he supported with the bonus being that they also are a contender.
IMO if there is no announcement by Wednesday 28th of August then he is gone...... if that’s not already the case.
Gut feeling is that he is GONE.
If Gaff leaves, I suspect it will be to Essendon.
Pick 8 and 34 for Gaff, 69 and 71
Then offer 2019 first for Kelly.
So enter the draft with 8, 20, 34 and 35 and have swapped Gaff for Kelly.
If we are able to draft an elite mid and some decent role players in that bunch we may be setting ourselves up for some prolonged success. #optimisticAF

Tim gossage reckons Lycett has a strong desire to return home to Port and is more likely to leave than stay. I’m not saying Gossage is wrong but his reaction over the weekend was very weird if that’s the case.
How strange, given Scotts behaviour from the last win.Tim gossage reckons Lycett has a strong desire to return home to Port and is more likely to leave than stay. I’m not saying Gossage is wrong but his reaction over the weekend was very weird if that’s the case.
TLDR: Gossage is employing an MSU strategyTim gossage reckons Lycett has a strong desire to return home to Port and is more likely to leave than stay. I’m not saying Gossage is wrong but his reaction over the weekend was very weird if that’s the case.
he said in an interview earlier in the year that he liked Perth more than Adelaide and couldn't really imagine moving back home.Tim gossage reckons Lycett has a strong desire to return home to Port and is more likely to leave than stay.

Next Dean Cox/Brodie Grundy if he can put on a bit of muscle.Foxfooty saying eagles to go after Tim English and believe he is obtainable snd open to a move home. Would love this
