So you think Gaff is quick enough, to bring us what we lack in the midfield. ... which I think is midfield speed and agility..

I do not think Petracca will ever be a fast Mid. 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.

I haven't watched him on enough occasions to debate that, but his recent games suggest he's adequate.? 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.?

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.

Wow. what pace and long stride. he covered some ground for sure.

All true 'Hem', but neither of them are one of my mates. So you were right,,, in a professional game where trades are allowed, and talk of a mid season trade period, it is, a Meat -Market mate. Now lets get to buisness.

In strong drafts, we could do a bit with a number of 2nd Rnd and 3rd Rnd picks. We could trade up fairly well. I would be looking to trade off Kent back to the West, if we could get something decent with tour returns. Wet Toast might be looking to top up their list, as they think they're not pretenders. They might like some insurance for cover, as they're window opens in the breeze.

cheers Dl Done, thankyou.

can I remove those messages, without opening them?

ah, sorry Dl. They are years old. I haven't checked them for that long. I thought they were from yesterday, & maybe some Asian was trying to send me an email to open. ( written in poor english ) Sorry for that confusion. I am also suffering terribly from chronic sleep apnea. That must have contributed yesterday.

Hi Demonland, it's not in the notifications, its in my messages. Can you check them please? messges about selling things, and titles 'administrator' etc. see funny picture, sounds asian???

is the site being targeted at the moment. via the notifications?

Gaff's good, but I think we can do better. Maybe Sloane this year on a heavy front ender, and Kelly in 2019, on a looong deal?

It'll cost them.

could you give him the old seductive look, a wink, and blow some kisses???

Who? a kid called Salary-Cap space? ... room with the view for another gun.

We didn't want to give the cheating scum a pick like that, for anyone. Just because they are what they are.

Did you ever ponder, that the bar fight may have helped him and us, in righting our playing list?

Only IF he was desperate to get back to WA. He's looking quite happy at present and hopefully will continue to do so. The extra tall's seem to work well ttogether, with the athleticism they all posses.

and that's what I'm hoping for, by mentioning it here. If the tone we spread, is a bit cautious; hopefully that will aid the team in its quest to win again against a team on its knees atmo. The Crows didn't turn up on this weekend gone, and that's what I'm cautioning against, for us this week. They had prepared for the game in Alice. The game yesterday was sapping, and I hope we do not have a let down, this week. Preparation or not.

past seasons, and earlier in the season.. Its the next hoodoo we have to put an end to, in our march forward.

He's been building, and building his tank. same with ANB. Add some form into the team, and they all start to shine. We are up and away atmo. Some of the guys looked like tiring late in the 2nd Qtr; physically feeling the heat, and some mental errors later on after half time, from some experienced players from fatigue, including TMc. I have to see out the game yet. But it was a very good clinical win. And the crows didn't show up, or we dindn't let them. Our intensity was very good. A danger game coming up against a struggling side that we should beat, and will be expected to beat. That makes it a danger game, because of our recent mental attitudes in these type games.

We should be breaking bread with all of them, just for a chat. Check the weather with them.

Lynch isn't quick enough for the way the game is heading. We have so many players of his pace and size. We need more athletic diversity in our list. Class runners who play both on the inside and outside. One out there is a free agent. Not sold on Gaff. He is a very good player, but I wonder IF We,,, can do better. He hasn't been a complete player in his career. Only now is he doing the other bits of the game. Why only now?

I would like to see what he's like, in our new team and attitude.
