How many 30+ possession games has he had in the last 2 seasons? I'm guessing lots. Most prolific outside runner in the comp. Super star.
one reason why i hate going to the footy. We have so many people like that. i may criticize our players on public forums and social media but never at games. Gaff gets a lot of hate purely because of his look and size.
18 since the start of 2015 and 27 overall. tho he has been reallly good for a while without gathering 30 disposals.
His disposal this year has taken a dive - moving more inside will do that i guess - still so me of the no pressure shanked kicks from a guy who has always been a silky inside 50 player....

He was pretty silky the other night.
It's one of the reasons I look forward to the new stadium just in the hope my new seats will be around more sane people.

I'd actually rather being around the crazies (not idiots) that are passionate than the gradmas that are completely lifeless and taking up a seat.
His disposal is as good as ever. Sits next to Hurn and Shuey as our best field kicks. Love the way he kicks (except at goal he goes stupid)

Thought he was very good vs Richmond.
Usually i don't notice him because he accumulates it like a seagull, but some of his disposal were outstanding.

His short kicking is sex running at mid 70's disposal efficientcy being close to our best player over the last 4 games
ugh, we have so many pathetic members. Some opposition supporters don't rate Gaff either. His inside game is actually becoming very good. Clean disposal in tight.
Are we missing something about him? He's not the best specialist winger in the competition but he'd be in the top 5, and if he continues with his current form, he'll be a top 10 mid in a year or so. Needs to pretend he's passing to a crowd member behind the goals when having a shot - maybe then he'll never miss.

A true wingman by definition but working and improved leaps and bounds on his inside game. I must admit i sometimes think he hasn't touched the ball i look and he has 15 in the second Q
This is interesting given Gaff's recent form - it's not surprising that the concussion has affected him (and many of us have suspected so) but this confirms it:

Yeah i rember brodie smith from adelaide. The bloke won an AA the year before and looked good at the beginibg of last year but he had 2 concussions and looked so average last year. The after affects of concussion can be as bad as a soft tissue injury.
Well that provides an explanation to my observations. Hope he gets over it, his cool-headedness and decision-making are his strengths! The kick ount long is very out of character.
He' a good decision maker with space and time but not in congestion. Totally opposite to certain inside mids like priddis, who generally make good decions in congestion but with space and time they make errors.
