Gaff - does he stay or go? Let me set the scene..

[Chris_6678]

Gaff is getting a such is life tat on his stomach. He has also shaved his head and got a tat of a demon up his neck.

 

[JohnW]

On what basis would you that to him?

He's been a clean skin for 8 years.
Any attempt to do that would probably result in him telling you to shove it.
And rightly so IMO.

I may not have explained my self correctly. I was asking if other clubs may reduce their offers due to the negative PR.

If they did, I would use that as leverage to lower our offer.

Does not bode well.

Think he will stay. Have a feeling in my waters - that being said I am wavering a bit because:

1) he is currently with family and friends in Vic (being reminded on the daily how much more incognito he can be there from the media, how good to have family close etc).

2) Simmo's presser saying he wouldn't train with the group when he gets back to Perth next week etc. I can understand this in the short term and the issue of training but not being able to play etc but I think it also creates a bit of a divide between him and the rest of the team. Hoping he gets into training before seasons end just for his own fitness and to get amongst the other guys and also sit in the box for every remaining game (Port excluded).

Would be really concerned about him going if he returned to Perth and was not seen at training or at games from here on out.

Hoping we are put out of our misery sooner rather than later - not like he needs to concentrate on playing, hoping he makes his decision and tells the whole world what it is before seasons end.

How about

Before saying they are golfing people
All Nisbett had to do was google ?

Well I did and I saw it stated somewhere that they did play golf. IMO the truth probably is Andrew & Hamish have played golf together, and Gaff & Hamish have played golf together, and a few out there have just put two and two together to make five!

Don't wish to harp on the Gaff thing too much but - was listening to the Brayshaw forgiveness talk and him saying the penalty handed down seems fair, both missing remainder of season and part of preseason...he left it there, but clearly he has much more ongoing issues concerning his teeth, possibly involving dentures etc, this for the rest of his life..so it raises the question of compensation for suffering, injuries incurred and the medical bill, let alone the lasting effect or permanent damage.

Who covers this, personal health insurance? Football club insurance? - if so, Freo or Eagles? It would be a legitimate claim and is it asking too much for Eagles to step up and cover it..or Gaff to cover it? How does all this work?
This excerpt from Roar/keith hurst -
"The other relevant point is that Brayshaw will be eating from a straw for four weeks and will require regular treatment on his mouth, which will last longer than the eight weeks. It therefore appears that Gaff got away relatively cheaply, while Brayshaw has not..."

All footy clubs have medical insurance.

Yes, it would be too much asking the Eagles to pay for it.
Freo won't be paying for it either I would suspect.
That's what insurance is for.

Has unfinished business in a team entering the sweet spot. Foolish to leave.

Never met him but i heard that Carey Grammar has a culture of arrogance

 

[30stm]

Simmo looked really happy in todays presser... hes got not a lot of reason to be that happy this week unless maybe gaff told him hes staying with us for good!

Tim Kelly might be a chance 2019 too

 

[Godfather32]

All you arrogant campaigners with BJ giving wives can you please keep it to yourself, you're making the rest of us sad

I don't get this thing of the media being less intrusive in Melbourne. They are just as football mad over there and nearly all of the football media is based there. They also have more papers. Sure, a C grade player won't get noticed but star players are probably under more attention.

I think he will go to mcg tenant club

....why ....because he will get nailed on Etihad a lot


I’m of the belief his game is so suited to the way we play ...Hes never been a contested ball winning beast and never will be ....I reckon Melbourne

My gut feel is he’s going and while he’s a gun our world will move on if he does

His stats are slighty better at Etihad than at the G.
Averages more touches, goals and inside50's.

Hmmm I know what stats would say but I reckon look who’ve we played there in recent seasons

Dogs, bombers, hawks when weaker ...saints ......

True but Hawks are around the top 4 mark this year tho, Bombers pantsed us last year.

Think he suits our style of play than the ground he plays tbh.

Agree ....he doesn’t have to win contested ball much

 

[dave123]

I know what insurance is for..!?
the question was who pays for it or how is it paid?
you say all footy clubs have medical insurance -yet you say Eagles aren't paying for it and Freo aren't paying for it?
so who pays for it?

Err the insurance company

The eagles pay an insurance company like all companies do ....when a Claim is put in ....the club fills out the appropriate claim ...insurance covers it

These attempts to read the tea leaves aren't worth much, are they? People should stop trying to guess based on how Gaff combed his hair today. It's pointless.
