Pretty flat couple of weeks from him, even though he got a crapload of touches last week...

Greenwood never left his side, constantly crashing in to him, plenty of niggle off the ball.
Thought Gaff tried pretty hard to get involved.
Pretty stupid to bring up Gaff, he's not an issue in this team at all.

I think his disposal has been poor all year. Not worth discussing?
Yep disposal poor and asks for it off of someone and has no plan of where its going. Just boots it 20 -30m to no one in particular. If he's tagged out of it so be it. He needs to sacrifice his game and get involved anyway he can unfortunately outside of skirting packs and asking for the ball off of people he hasn't got much to his game.
He goes at 75% which is very good for someone getting 30 touches.
Not sure anyone else is high with that amount of ball.
He's not a devastating kick, but he's invaluable to the team and the way we transition from def to attack.
No one works harder than him in a game (constantly at 18km+) and over the last few weeks he's really upped his contested disposal numbers as well (last 2 weeks has dropped off again however).
Today was poor as he had a very heavy tag, one that most players have struggled to overcome.
Redden was the only bloke I saw today who actually went over and assisted, most others didn't seem to do much (Nelson actually hit Greenwood once to be fair).
This team has MAJOR issues, I don't see why focusing on Gaff is worth talking about.

Barely focusing on Gaff, other players under the spotlight too.
Just concerned that he's essentially stagnated and in some ways gone backwards. Not overly interested in DE stats, don't trust it as a guide. He's lost his ability to hit up forwards at will and I think teams have become better at limiting his influence.
Not like he's under any threat of losing his spot or anything.

Slow, weak, rubbish disposal and has 0 hurt factor. I'd trade him given the opportunity. He may be decent alongside a strong midfield but with us he is almost useless atm.

Don't think we missed him at all to be honest. Certainly him being tagged had no bearing on the result of the game.
You don't think we lacked hard run and transition from defence to attack in the last quarter?

I don't think he lacked Gaff's version of this
Agree to disagree
I get why people want to trade Gaff but it's likely we won't get enough in return.

He's a hard worker who runs at one speed (which hurts us defensively) and has poor-average disposal most of the time. I'd be happy with something like Gaff and Lamb for Acres and the Saints 1st rounder.
That's a terrible trade

It's a realistic trade, if anything the saints say no
I don't think anyone was really tagging anyone today??

Greenwood had a hard tag on Gaff
So you just don't rate Gaff then, Saints would do that trade without even thinking about it. An unproven kid and a pick 8-12 for a guy that instantly becomes one of their best players?

I obviously don't rate him as highly as you do
