Bluemour Discussion Thread VIII

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

Saints have been keen for a while

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

One other issue with Gaff given he is such an outside player is that he simply does not kick enough goals (6 goals last year, 7 the year before, career high of 11).

In a perfect world we would be able to bring in a goalkicking outside mid (given our scoring woes), but that said adding Gaff's 29 touches a game without giving up a player/pick would certainly improve us regardless.

 

[reubsblues]

We lack high possession line breaking mids and Gaff is exactly that. Yes please

Hoping the aints throw all their coin at Sloane .
Will take a competitor for Shiel the following year out of the race ...

They would have to pay a lot more.

Seriously why would you go there? There are going nowhere.

Saints will be on the fringe of the 8.

They addressed many of their shortfalls in the last draft, but the still lack class/finishers through the midfield.

That's why they have been interested in Gaff

Personally, they should have taken LOB, with one of their picks

Hey Newbie, gotta be on the site for more than a couple of days before you can start making demands and NANE, ffs

Cmon Jab, that's cheating.

Never apologise never explain, never hint, never watch modern Adam Sandler films.....

Being a bit nice to the Newbie, might scare him off otherwise. With a bit of luck, might turn out to be a useful role player.

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

SOS won't overpay for anyone. Hence why we missed out on guys like Carlisle, Prestia and Rockliff.

 

[AlecDuncan]

meaning if we didn't get him and ran into salary payment issues we could blame him - o'reilly-style..........

No red card. You’ve gone soft mods.

Ranked 1st in Uncontested Possessions Per Game

Ranked 7th in Effective Disposals Per Game

Ranked 4th in Total Effective Disposals

At 26 touches a game on average over his career with disposal skills like his. I can guarantee BB/SOS won't die wondering with an offer. I floated this point a year ago. He brings something we need. High disposal, high skill, lots of ball, great use.

 

[Weiterbot23]

800 x 4 is the most I'd pay

It's overs, but you gotta pay overs in FA

 

[Metalcrusher]

Ide take that in a heartbeat ...... Cripps/Kennedy/Ed/SPS would love knowing their hard work at stoppages was going to a smooth mover like Gaff. We would probably see (plucking a figure out of my arse), +10% in scoring just from his boot into the F50 alone.

Only thing is, he turns 26 mid this year ... so not 100% sure if the demographics are right.

I could watch his delivery all day ...

He'll be 28 then when we'll win no 17 so that's okay then .

 

[ferrisb]

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

I think Gaff has missed 1 match in the last 6 years.

That's a pretty good endorsement of his mental and physical strength.

Admittedly playing on the outside helps avoid impact injuries, but it's still an impressive record.

His like a much improved version of Camporeale

 

[jj1978]

Last time we done that was in the mid 70s irc ..happy to be proven wrong ..Maclure kicked a few and a spread of goals from our famous mosquito fleet.

95 sure we kicked 11 goals in a final quarter against Hawks.
