The latest from the west Aus rag. https://thewest.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/afl-free-agency-2018-andrew-gaff-reportedly-leaning-toward-staying-with-west-coast-eagles-ng-b88983410z A lot of 'leaning towards' and 'it is believed' and 'apparently' and 'nothing confirmed but' in that. Sounds like a bit of a press beat-up to me. Making something up to fill in the time. Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Hahaha!!! Nought stood up again, they really should just fade away. Quote

Ouch! 2,276 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Sad we couldn’t get him, but still don’t really like free agency! So I guess I am glad to see players resist and show loyalty. Quote

Posters on here talk about Josh Kelly as though if North don’t get him he’s as good as coming to Melbourne. In reality we’d just be one of about ten suitors throwing cash at him. It’s a long shot. 3 Quote
Alex Flood 245 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I’m actually happy he’s staying, you add him, a fit Naitanui & we somehow manage to get May while keeping Hogan & you’ve got a blockbuster between the two of us for next years grand final. 1 Quote
Demons1858 1,820 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 North offer (being the largest financially amongst other clubs) would have been used to drum up a better offer at his preferred club being west coast. Doubt he was ever leaving. Manager declaring it s between north and west coast was purely strategic in my view. Can polec pull out still? Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 So apparently it is possible to get over home sickness when it’s a 4 hour flight away. Fascinating. Also suck it North. 1 Quote
Redleg 42,144 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 If Gaff is staying how do they get Tim Kelly or fit him into their cap. Could Dockers make a play for him? How would that affect other deals? Might make letting Neale go easier? Interesting 10 days ahead. 2 Quote

Rosich declared Freo have their sights on 4 or 5 trade targets and haven’t given up on convincing Tim Kelly his future playing days could be at Cockburn. Quote
Ron Burgundy 8,588 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Gaff strikes me as a really decent fellow. He seems to have a sensitivity about him which is rare among footy players. Good luck to him. Would’ve loved to see him in the red and the blue, but it seems we were never realistically in the mix. Sucked in North. 1 Quote
TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Whoever was the bright spark at Nth that decided that it would be a good idea to be so public and vocal about the their big recruiting over the last two seasons needs to be fired or reassigned to the Carlton FC social media management.

Perhaps unfortunately, I don’t see the world in black and white. But I understand that many in Kansas do. To assess Gaff’s entire character and personality on that one incident, is the very reason we no longer endorse public lynching as a society, even though many rednecks would love to have it back. It seems that Andrew Brayshaw has forgiven him - good on you for continuing to hold the grudge though. 5 Quote

Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Although Brad Scott didn’t name Gaff in his BnF speech, it was pretty clear that’s who he was talking about when he spoke about another player signing with them this coming week.

I'm not the one who smacked Brayshaw. What does much of the footy world think when uttering that blokes name ? I wonder. If you don't like a post lampooned.. think it through. Play on... Quote

I wouldn't care 1 iota.The money on offer would make me happy enough to never even win a single game again in my lifetime.Thing is these days it really is just a job & that many playets couldnt care if they win or lose.Just think we go to work for 100k a year & do you really care if your company wins awards etc?
