The deal is effectively signed off on. Gaff to Melbourne on $1.2M for 5 years with a side trade to WC of a very promising young mid. This trade facilitates a smooth transition. Gaff's manager is in Perth this week to finalise the details with WC. Me met Melbourne end of last week. Evidently it is all remarkably amicable.

Absolutely no chance of that happening.

Why would Melbourne give us something in return? We wouldn't match 1.2 million. Is this a good will type thing to keep our clubs in good standing in the future?
probably more of a "if you match and force a trade, we cant give you as much as if you didnt match, got a compo pick, but then we did the second half of the trade anyway"

Geelong and Adelaide traded Dangerfield without actually lodging any Free Agency requests

Would Melbourne even be able to afford $1.2M a year after Lever last year and the likes of Oliver / Viney / Hogan / Petracca all looking at big payrises soon?
They can if they intend on moving another player out.

i'm not aware of any of the WA based sides having their list managers based out of perth. plus the contracts and pro scouting by the eagles are done out of their melb office?

I only ask because Brady lived in Perth while he was the midfield coach, before he moved to list manager.

as a coach it makes sense due to the nature of the job and needing to be where the players are

as list manager the majority of players are in melbourne, plus its middle to where the rest are.

Footy GM is based in Perth.

Surely not Brayshaw

Yeah, hard to work out who else the "very promising young mid" involved could be.
