Whats your opinion on Gaff do you believe he will accept Norths offer ?
Would you like him at North ?
Would he suit norths game plan ?
I think the offer is pure WA speculation in truth. I'm yet to see any mention of it in Victoria (but then I don't read everything).
If it's legit though, I can only assume we've put a similar offer that we did to Dusty in the same FA position (probably not for the same coin, I'm surprised nothing was mentioned there).
If it's say 900k p.a over 7 I think it's a good offer by North and a thought provoker for Gaff and I think the bloke is worth it. If you recruit a guy at his age heading into his prime you want him for life.
He definitely suits the game plan, makes the game plan... it's pretty clear we have room for two mids at that money after our efforts last season and that would be a plan over this season and next adding those players into the middle. The forward line is very good and the back line is sound, I think any team where Ben Cunnington is the fourth best mid and main contested mid has a shot at a flag.
End of the day, we've got the money and we have to spend it. It's not a desperation thing but the club has to be mindful that juggling the books has to crash eventually. I'd be very concerned if we were losing our targets to other clubs... that they are all staying where they are shows how much the one club mentality is valued nowadays. I'm very confident come the end of 2019 we'll have the two high quality midfielders we're after, hopefully we can add one this season and focus on our drafting.
