Bluemour Discussion Thread VIII

who tf is reg?

 

[DangerousD]

We heavily frontload the first 2 years of a 4 year contract - I recall reading recently that the AFL only look at the first 2 years when deciding free agent compo - E.g (something like) $800k / $700k / $250k x 2 = $2m over 4 years - pretty reasonable for an AA winger

Dude, why would Gaff leave for $500,000 per year? He would be on more than that now. $500,000 is not a big salary and wouldn't be enough to tempt a FA of his quality.

I'm a fan of Gaff.

He's essentially what we hope LOB turns into.

Certainly similar style of player

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Bluemour said 'certain free agent in the West'.
May not necessarily be West Coast.

Which FA do Freo have?

Pav?

We are signing the 3 Judd bous. Beat the WCE to their signatures.

‘In the west’
Could be WC, Freo, Doggies...
Fyfe, Kennedy and Boyd!

I'm no fan of Gaff. Front runner of the highest order with not a great defensive game. He's a winger/mid.
I also think we'd hope that LOB ends up being like Simmo but with a much much better leg.

Would it be fair to say that most outside mids are front runners?

Their game is dependent on others to succeed.

You can have one or two downhill skiiing types.

2019, move Murph to the forward flank and Gaff on the wing.

People don't like front running players, but they can be useful in helping heap on the goals when you have momentum.

 

[Aphrodite]

Pav?

Way too soon.

At least wait until the last day of trade week.

Possibly And I see their value but I watch him most weeks and all I can say is I've seen him disengage far to often at crucial times.

Yeah but he's not playing for Bolts!!

From what I know, Gaff is absolutely as outside as it gets in the AFL.

BUT, for a completely outside player (non-contested, high-possession wing) he's about the best in the league.

I don't get super excited about outside mids, but he'd be the best outside player in just about every team.

And for a young team looking to add pace, outside run and linking play, he'd be an excellent fit for us.

Dude, substitute the numbers for whatever you think is fair/reasonable, the point is still the same

 

[Big_Luch]

We should have cap to burn, as long as there aren't any other realistic targets we would miss out on going for Gaff I am all for it.

The guy runs all day and is a decent user of the ball, if he improves the list bring him in.

 

[therubbernub]

but you can't deny SOS's propensity to think outside the box

snuff box?

 

[therubbernub]

The bloke was in charge of a premiership list so can't be too bad

ehemm should we visit the 2016 premiership? If he has done only that, he was worth it for the dogs

Kruezer be ok for round 1 mate ?
No hope of getting any decent info from the club re injuries and still unsure about SPS , Williamson , Garlett and Lang .
Very frustrating and if the club is serious about engaging with the supporter base and converting them into members this should be addressed .

Speaking of playing well on the big stage, Gaff gathered 34 possessions and was one of the only Eagles who could hold his head up high in that '15 grand final.

 

[ParapMarkets]

I agree with that, but given you are in WA and may have seen him more than others, would you say he is a better forward than Lobbe and Phillips? I do rate Lycett as a forward, but given the talls we have, plus BSOS, really can't see him as a need

Personally, i have a lot time for Phillips, hoping he can stay injury free

I rate him higher than both Phillips and Lobbe (forward and ruck) but much prefer Kreuzer. If we were to get a guy like him we would be spending considerable coin on back up ruckmen. I just don’t see it.

 

[Weiterbot23]

If the money is right, we should be able to get Gaff easily

Who would have a better shot?

At Carlton he can get paid and play in a good side (2019 onwards).

Get to play in front of decent crowds etc


Surely ours if we want him

I agree and the one thing about Gaff, despite getting his fair share of attention, he isn't soft.

If our anticipated improvement materializes this year and translates into results then we surely become a destination club
