Said this to a WCE fan that thinks Gaff for Hogan is fair.

 

"If we don't want to give you Hogan, then you're left with whatever you get for Gaff from the NM trade either a compo pick, or what Nm can trade you if you match. Therefore our bargaining chip is that all we have to do is give you what NM can comparatively give you. I think Hogan satisfies that end already.

Now you need to give us a better offer than what Freo will have to give, to make us want to give you Hogan. We're asking two top 10 picks. Gaff may be a high quality player, but as an RFA he doesn't really come with that much value as you're not exactly going to get that much from NM if you match.

So as we're ontrading a top 10 pick for Steven May in the Freo deal. What we need are picks from you that can get us Steven May. If we get Gaff + May then that beats Freo's Pick 10 & S. May. That will make us want to come on board and get Hogan to WCE. Free agency sucks for the clubs, but thats what the players association won."

Gaff wants to go to North for the $, he’s a RFA so won’t be traded anywhere else against his will.

    You're correct, This idea is operating under the assumption that Gaff will change his mind and pick the Dees out of a sense of duty to get Hogan to WCE. We're so far off from that happening, but stranger things have happened. Anyway, happy to put this idea to rest and let it play out.

    I was thinking of scenarios that may happen if WC matched Norths offer. But considering I believe Gaff is only going to North for the $ (why else North?), then if WC matched the offer I believe he’d stay put.

    Well the thing with Dangerfield was that im pretty sure they agreed to a good faith trade that was outside the RFA/FA system. I'm not sure how applicable it was, but I think that's where i was aiming the gaff/hogan thing. Just a gentlemans agreement to sort out for a way to get him over here. I was thinking he'd take 1.05mil, to play with a closer team to a premiership, but maybe its fanciful.

    Is Gaff really still trying to decide between North and West Coast?

    Both Hogan and Gaff proving themselves pretty slow decision-makers.

    They've both made their decisions, and would've done so a while ago. Now they're trying to accept and justify to themselves the decision they have made.

    5th in their B&F last night. According to some of his teammates, they’re none the wiser (bollocks) after giving nothing away on the speculation.

    Reports suggest he was waiting for the B & F before announcing his decision. If that’s right and he didn’t announce that he was staying last night, then expect the news by Monday that he’s selected North Melbourne.

    Love that.  In part because it shows the guy's character and in part it stymies North!

    Apparently, Polec was recently skiting that he would be playing with Gaff next year.  Counted chickens a bit early, it seems!! 

    Edit: Not confirmed but increasingly likely ? https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/afl-free-agency-2018-andrew-gaff-reportedly-leaning-toward-staying-with-west-coast-eagles-ng-b88983415z

    A bit surprising, but good on him for staying. Who’s running with the Brad Scott GIFs?

    I doubt 7 would go with it otherwise but you never know.

    If true I'm stoked.  He'll be well compensated but it strikes a blow for old fashioned club loyalty.  Simpson and everyone at WCE stuck by him.  Despite his old man's illness, he's four hours away, not in another country.  A few blokes could learn a lesson if that's how it plays out.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
