No worries, here’s the lowdown: Restricted free agents have the right to move to a club of their choice, subject to the current club’s right of first refusal over their services. That is, if the current club can ‘match’ the offer from a suitor club, the player must stay or enter the draft. Edited May 23, 2018 by Ethan Tremblay Quote

Still a fair bit to do then to get him over to our side but definately someone we could well do with. Outside run and he gives plenty of that. Quote

The pies also want Lynch. And no doubt, quietly would like Gaff as well. And we should be into all of them,,,, until we see where the lye of the land is. Quote

So now, Dee Goey anyone ? Forget Gaff, Jordan is the won we want. the Roos are into him, for good reason... he's a match winner. Quote
Big Demon 197 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Only problem I see with De Goey is that the dude can’t kick straight Quote
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 This season he’s basically doing what we expected Petracca to do. He’s kicked bags of goals when playing forward (5+6 goal games), and dominated in the midfield on both the inside and outside. We don’t have picks to get him, so pipe dream. Hopefully Petracca gets a rocket and follows De Goeys lead as he should be the better of the two. 5 Quote

The way I see it is this,,, Gaff has been said to be soft, & too much an outside player,,, in past seasons. Only this season has he started to get more contested ball, and started to play inside at the bounce, etc. Why only this year... and is this just a contract year thing for him... I like Gaff, but I want us to look far and wide this season for the right player fit for us... Prior to us committing our last bit of salary cap space on another medium-speed midfielder. I don't think Gaff's 'quick', by any real measure, but maybe not slow. SO I wonder how he will add speed and a point of difference, to our midfield list? DeGoey certainly would add some speed, and a touch of magic to our on-ball division, and the list? Surely both would cost us similar, in terms of salary cap numbers.? Quote

I see Petraca as more a power mid, power medium-forward. But not so, agile and quick. I sense DeGoey is quick by foot, and his footy mind. Quote

Change of personnel and change of role. WCE have lost their two main clearance players from last year in Priddis and Mitchell to retirement. So Gaff is one of those filling that gap. Agree he is not lightning but he runs both ways from pocket to pocket and does so relentlessly Quote
Garbo 1,567 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Sure we could get De Goey, just don’t cry that we have to give up Petracca and Brayshaw to do it Edited June 13, 2018 by Garbo Quote

We are very one geared. We are very much a power geared side,,, and i want us to add an extra dimension to our run and carry. Pace, breaks big games open. 1 Quote

Mind you it doesn't have to be DeGoey, but he has that x factor. Whitfield, Kelly, and no doubt others can do it. But do they carry X factor. Quote
