I hate other teams!
Gunna petracca, he's gunna be a superstar, he's gunna be a midfielder, he's Gunna win a Brownlow.

Maybe, most likely he's just a very good player on his day who teases demon fans by only showing up occasionally.
Petracca. Nowhere near as good as Billlings & only a bees dick better than Gresham at this stage.

Comfortably the most overrated player in the league. Gets labelled a midfielder, but can't play more than 3 minutes a quarter there cos his tank is so shit, and thus sits on the forward flank or forward pocket for 90% of his TOG.

He should evolve into a gun, but he has some serious flaws

You may be right and there's about 40% of me who hopes you are so we can take 7+8 to the draft or trade up with GC and get a real gun.

What if Gaff wants to come home?
Haven't heard that he does. He's pretty settled over here.

If anything happens it will be this time next year but I think they'll re-sign him before then.

"Gaff is he or isn't he a good player and what would we give up to get him even though he isn't going anywhere"
Gaff is a good player , All Australian 2015 West Coast Fairest and Best 2015 , pick 4 in the draft in 2010.
we would get him with pick 8 , however I would like to keep our draft picks for this years draft - you don't get too many picks in the top 10

We will probably have a top ten pick next year as at well I reckon.

According to SEN this morning Bevo refused to shake Matthew Boyd's hand in his exit interview & management forced him to play Boyd in the final round
And, supposedly others also keen to leave. Maybe it's coach and not players - they didn't seem to " play for the coach" this season.

I've heard different. West Coast are considering trading because they feel he'll leave next year as a free agent & his offered contract won't gain them more than band 2 or 3 compo which is end of 1st round or 2nd round.

Pick 7 or 8... they'll jump all over it

Pick 8 for Gaff & pick 30

Personally, I don't want Gaff at all but he'd definitely make us a better team
I have similar sentiments mate. But I feel like he's the safe option, incrementally improves, but don't feel like he's making a huge team improvement. 7 or 8 may never play. But they could be a once in a generation player. I don't particularly feel like we will be GF bound without adding more stars and he's not my definition of one.

Are Prestia and Caddy your idea of stars?
