Recommitted Andrew Gaff [re-signed]

[Lyyynnnchy]

It's not about about whether he stayed or went. He flat out lied to people that put faith in his word.

The reneging is actually now a bonus in hindsight, as it exposed his true nature. Who'd want someone like that at their club? Not me. Good riddance.

How’d he lie? He changed his mind.

When I was tossing up moving back home from London I changed my mind 100 times. Only in this industry would anyone abuse a player for simply changing their mind. Laughable

He lied and he's now marked with that for life.

How so?

From all reports he’s simply changed his mind.

By saying he’s lieing I’m assuming you’re implying he told North he was coming when he knew at the time he wasn’t...seems like a ridiculous thing to do and something I highly doubt he’s done

It happened.

This isn't about me, it's about a liar.

.

So it is about you then?

 

[MWPP]

Can anyone actually link us to the evidence that Gaff committed to North ?
Sure it looked like he was likely to be going but all the actual reports pointed to him being undecided .

 

[Tushay]

I can understand if club integrity isn't your strong suit.

Your calling him a liar demeans you, not him. He was undecided - that message was consistently fed to us by a range of people, including Adam Simpson. It was on the public record. No one disputed it. Now apparently he had a secret handshake. You sound ridiculous. You had a crack and it didn't come off. No shame in that. Move onto the next target. Only issue is the hole you personally dug yourself, as you did last year too.

 

[Rod Stroker]

First is plausible

Second is LOL

Only a fool would LOL at that.
We just offered 8M to a player, we still have that and more to spend this year if we want to. You'd be silly to think we wouldn't use it to chase another top player. We've acquired top talent before, I have no doubt we'll do it again, despite what the trolling naysayers want to dribble.

 

[Procrastinator35]

To bring some balanced alignment & perspective back to the thread....Congrats to West Coast for keeping a hold of Gaff....Double delight no doubt, on top of winning the Premiership Cup.....For which everyone in Victoria who doesn't follow Eddie-Everywhere & Figjam, owe you a heart-felt kudos for.

Nobody replied earlier so asking again

 

[Snake_Baker]

according to reports he gave up a fair bit of coin to stay at WC

Yeah im going to call that loyalty

North was $1.142 mill p.a.

WCE was $900K, but was raised prior to his re-signing (dunno how much).

There's not much between the offers.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Is "loyal to the club he luvs" a West Australian term for a million bucks?

The figure is around $870k per year
The reason he stayed is his dad told him to stay with WCE.
So us WCE fans got to thank his dad who looks like is recovering from his heart
problems

i heard 300k pa over 6 years difference..

but what ever. I didnt say Gaff was crying poor staying

How many higher-profile FA signings have there been than Higgins? Buddy/Lynch? Come on.

Scotland

Martin, Fyfe, Gaff... oh.

Srsly, Goddard, Betts, Thomas, Frawley... pretty much anyone that netted band 1 compo. Even Rockliff/Motlop last year were probably bigger news than Higgins at the time of signing.

He's been a great pick up but I don't know why North fans want to pretend he's something he wasn't. I'd be stoked with what Higgins has produced for the outlay.

GAFF did a backflip on his GAGF, and now wants to come to North again.

 

[jdisc]

i only just got here

 

[rainwizard39]

are you serious? Why did the moderators delete those pages. They were some of the best moments in Bigfoot history.

 

[KERRPOW]

Missed it by that much.

 

[buttox]

good luck to him.
i bet hes relieved having finally made his choice.
seems like a nice enough bloke.
this has been a fun thread.
wc have anymore decent FA's next year?
a repeat would be epic....

We need to think about this like a dance.

North have lined up a hot chick to take home after the dance. He has been so so keen to take home any hot chick and enjoy a shag feast. But at the last minute - there’s a hitch. Boyfriend has come and outlined what a future looks like together. Boy - the future looks great. Boyfriend owns outright a great massive house in the Golden Triangle. Prepaid school fees to top private schools. Owns their own business and future guaranteed. Most importantly- the person to spend eternity together.

Now North think it’s unfair that the best talent at the ball, who said they wanted to go home with them, is now not wanting to commit. Crying I deserve to get laid. She was a **** tease. It’s my right since she teased me. If you said yes at 11pm - surely you owe it to me to put out!



I hope that puts it all in context.

North - nice try. Can I recommend a new approach. Go ugly and go early.

Like I said contract year. Enjoy Mr 1 way runner ball hog. Enjoy him, way rather pick 10 in a good draft.

You’d rather pick 10 over Andrew Gaff? HA!!
