Gaff Signs New Deal At West Coast



Recommended Posts

Posted

"Gaff, 19, is considered a vital cog in West Coast’s premiership plans alongside looming superstar ruckman Nic Naitanui (picked Watts instead), dashing on-ballers Luke Shuey (picked Blease instead) and Scott Selwood (picked Maric instead) and potential star forward Jack Darling (picked Cook instead) under senior coach John Worsfold."

This hurts. But for Gaff, we could've had all of these players AND Dustin Martin and Jack Trengove. I have to say though, I am happy with Jack Watts - he'll be okay IMO. I just can't believe the state of our midfield, given what it clearly could/should now be.

Hate to labour the point, but this just sucks ...

The state of our midfield can be summed up by the knowledge that Watts was played there and was one of our better performers. Where the hell are the raft of onballers who should be getting in there ahead of him?

We let other clubs pick them.

The Eagles have a really good chance to challenge for a flag in the next few years.

Gaff was never looking at going back to Victoria.

All eyes now on Caddy...

Just another forward, but Kurt Tippet's contract is up at the end of this year.

I don't think we'd want or need Tippet.

We need gun hard-at-it mids like Caddy.

Him and Viney in the same midfield is the stuff dreams are made of.

Mate, other than family and work issues I labour the point of our midfield, every other waking moment. You just reinforce it...

I've been on the case for what feels like eternity.

Here's a glimpse of something I wrote sometime ago:

Dear Santa,

Can we please have a Rolls Royce midfield that is the envy of every opposition AFL team ?

.....

Get the gist ?

i think we could have had Shuey, Gaff, Selwood and any one else and they wouldnt be the players that they are at West Coast.

Sad but true. They've learnt of Premiership players who know what it takes.

no doubt you replied thus -

"Hey Santa claus you ****!

Where's me [censored] rolls royce midfield?

I've unwrapped all this other junk and there's nothing that I like.

I wrote you a ******* letter and I come to see you twice

Ya worn out geriatric fart, you forgot me ******* rolls royce midfield.

If I wanted a pair of bloody thongs, I'd have bloody asked.

And this cowboy suit and ping pong set you can shove right up your ****!

You've stuffed me bloody order up

It's enough to make you spew"

apologies to KBW

He got sick of reading all the crap around here & decided to stay in the west in a positive culture - now why does that not surprise me.

best of luck son - hopefully your heart will beat red & blue again one day - but I fully understand if it doesn't.

I thought the same thing.

If we were into him, all he needed to do was see the circus around us at the moment.

Any doubts about staying in Perth would have disappeared.

But remember - it won't always be this way.

Gaff might've been a nice one to get, but there'll be others.

He might have taken the odd gaunt down to one of his old stamping grounds the MCG - might even of been last Saturday - the "booing" & verbal taunts directed at Melbourne players by their own "supporters" would have sealed the deal for the WC for sure.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
