You mustn't have watched him play this season.
I’ve got him in my Fantasy team and being in the top 1000, I follow it quite a lot, Gaff being my only Eagle until this week, id say I’d follow Gaff more than every eagle. Hahaha **** that sounds lame but seriously you follow players like a hawk when you have them in your fantasy team.
I’m not saying he’s not good , I’m just saying there is a reason why despite getting 30+ touches every week he rarely gets tagged anymore.
Maybe because there’s no taggers anymore but Ben Jacobs barely touched a finger on Gaff all game last week, and with no Shuey you think Gaff would’ve been the perfect option.
Can anyone find it better than Gaff? No, he is by far our hardest running midfielder, probably haven’t had one like Gaff since Cousins and Kerr. However, very one footed, not a contested ball winner (you can say he is doing better this year but how could he of gotten any worse after what he has showed us in his career) and rarely tackles. Now I know players just can’t do everything but Shuey is beautiful on both feet, is both a contested and uncontested player, and his 2017 was just a gem. The leadership he brought was bullshit good and stood up in like our last 8 games of the season.
Matty, you’re right. We would have no outside players if Gaff left (only having Masten makes me want to chop my dick off) but it would be a price I’m willing to pay instead of overpaying Gaff when we would get a sexy return. That’s of course if he wants to leave. If he wants to stay I’m not going to say no.
Has he been our best mid this year? Yeah sure, it’d definitely be between him and Yeo and you could even give maybe a clear edge to Gaff, but If Shuey didn’t have an injury plagued offseason and kept last years form, Gaff potentially slides down the 3rd on the list. I stand by the overrated part.
