The bloke is way too tentative in just about all aspects of his professional life it seems.

Unable to fully commit to the Eagles, extremely timid throughout the entirety of the whole king hit fiasco, and seemingly ambivalent with his disposals.

Even with his good kicking skills, he is a player you don't tend to notice that much in games (rightly or wrongly - bar that brain fade). He makes Garland look like the most outgoing footballer there ever was. 

Honestly, what a load of bs

Apparently Gaff has a contract clause that makes him an UFA at the end of this season, despite having a valid contract with the Eagles until 2024.

How the hell can that be allowed?

Either the AFL has rules or it doesnt

Pffft

If we went after him it would be a real gaff.

I'd still be chasing him if he is a chance.

But thats just me personally..

No?! He’s not back again?

Do you think he'd push ANB out of that gut running role, DD?

A blow for Victorian clubs chasing West Coast midfielder Andrew Gaff.

Mitch Cleary has the details on AFL.com.au: Star Eagle set to snub Vic clubs and trigger extension

Andrew Gaff is set to trigger a four-year extension at the Eagles

 

Meh

A great link player and a good wingman (I won't discredit his AA's) 

But he's not a game changer and I don't think I've seen him kick over 45m before 

I don't think he was ever going to leave too

We still need to recruit more speed.   Forget Gaffe.

Speed and class. 
 

We need to recuit polish going i50. 
 

 What’s Free Agency looking like end of year?

I don't think i've seen him lay more than 2 tackles in a game either.

The way we've seen Langdon and Tomlinson play is exactly the reason some of us were so keen on Gaff. He fills the same role, and after 2018 it was very clear we needed someone in that role. We don't need him anymore.

Gaff would have cost us the same pay,  as the two of Langdon and Tominson together.

Absolutely. But he was recognized as one of the best in the league, plus these two werent available at the time. 

It may be that we had been having conversations with both and thought we were a chance of landing both, thus focused our recruitment on May instead (who we thought would go to Collingwood at the end of 2019).

I was only commenting on why many of us wanted us to look closely at him.

I agree,  'dnx'.  As I did  for a few seasons, until he had such high tickets on himself.

I think we are ahead.

This list is average other than Jeremy Cameron.

Cameron would be a gigantic get, but there's no chance. 

He'll stay at GWS. 

We got 2 for the price of 1. Both wings have been filled so we can look at other areas of need, or re-sign a couple of our guns who might have walked for better coin elsewhere.

Sometimes you have a win, even when it looks like you lost.

Trade for need/speed, I think for 2020.?

Draft for CHB and another tall forward.

We need to draft KP talls now(2020) & next season,  for 3 or 4Yrs down the track.  As replacements for May & tMac, etc.

Are you Jeremy Cameron’s Mum? An aside, I drove through Dartmoor last week, not much there.

Just can't see him leaving GWS - they'll finish top 4 and he could win Coleman again. 

Ah well rather him stay there then go to the Saints, Essendon or some other wasted club. 

I think we can safely close this thread now.
