We should definitely match and force a trade scenario.
North is offering $350k more pa thats two fringe players salaries.
If Gaff elects to move it more than just for money. I would bwt a body part if we matched he would still want to go.
Hit up Norths for their first and a ruck either Goldie, Pruess or even Daw.
No way will Norths let a gun like Gaff off the hook after being rejected by ao many others.
If Goldie doesnt want to go West he goes to Geelong and helps us land Kelly.
North's isn't under pressure at all.
North are already a monty for Polec (this is coming from a bloke who never though Kelly or Martin were coming last year), not including being in the driver's seat for Hall this year and quite possibly Kelly next year. As good as Gaff is (and he's much, much better than Polec), North wouldn't be as desperate once North use its first for Polec.
North don't have the picks to go into a trading war and you guys probably won't have the salary room to go after your targets if you did match the Gaff offer. You're best banking the compo pick and using it to pick up Kelly, who is already a gun and would be looking at coming home, if not now, very soon.
I know he's contracted, but I wouldn't mind Declan Mountford being included as steak knives in a possible Gaff trade with North
Out of contract.
One of those player's who is really rated on Bigfooty, but appears not to be rated by the club. Very quick, fit, defensively minded, a thumping kick, tackles all day and works hard, but is a fairly average kick, it's shit, but it's not great either. Strange that he isn't getting a game, he'll come very cheap if he comes back. He'll be a handy rookie for your team.
Isn’t Mounford the bloke that North played as a tagger in the VFL and then at AFL? Kids basically going to be behinds heaps of our kids if that’s the case. He’ll probably end up replacing parto.
I don’t mind that Zurhar kid.
That was out desperation with the tagging.
Zurhaar just re-signed for a few years. A good WA lad, not a big tank on him, but he's built like a brick shit-house. Same with young West Aussie Kyron Hayden, absolute man-child, but not tank again. North always seems to do well with its West Australian players.
