whatwhat say what 23,854 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 This sort of offer to me screams that they know McGovern is leaving Quote
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 If they’re willing to offer that, he’s staying an Eagle. It basically means they will match our deal and we’ll have to trade for him. We have nothing of value in terms of picks we can trade, and I doubt we’d be willing to trade any of our guns to acquire him, so game over. Quote

I think the Eagles will cave and give him the extra year, he also recently started a part-time sales director job and has a weekly TV gig. I can’t see him leaving but who knows.

So they keep Gov and drive up the price of Gaff to maximise compensation when he leaves 1 Quote

Once it (prospect of getting Gaff) becomes a likely trade scenario it loses its appeal. At present we have nothing to offer. That may change. I tend to give the club the benefit of the doubt in that if we do make a play for Gaff, and decide to trade for him, that we will be offloading some players who could get us some picks. Don't forget, whoever orchestrated the picks swap with GC that ended up landing us Oliver, those people are (highly likely) still at the club, so if they decide to trade for Gaff, I would trust they will make it happen. I completely sat on the fence in relation to the Watts deal that landed us Fritsch, but whoever it was knew what they were doing. If we make a play for Gaff I'd back the mind trust. Quote

We should be so lucky as to get Gaff Quote

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 He's had more disposals and laid more tackles than anyone on his team thus far tonight. He's no longer a purely outside player, and is winning his own ball in a team getting smashed. Not having a great game by any stretch, but he works so hard and would give us something we sorely lack through our midfield. Quote

Different players but not close to Oliver in terms of impact. Gaff is a bit of a seagull. 1 Quote
