That rumour he was going to Essendon to join Woosha at the end if the year. Very loose rumour.
I said if. The bloke is a free agent at the end of the year and anything can happen.
Would be very strange to see a WA native who has just married a Perth girl move to a pathetic team on the other side of the country.

I think the assumption is that he would be pushed out, but that's just BF talkin. Nope we stuck wit Mazto

Yeah, didn't happen anyway. His name was not on the list of free agents which means he must have been re signed already.
 
In a draft not compromised by Gold Coast picks I'd still have preferred David Swallow with our pick 1. Unlucky with injury in particular of late and was more of a ready made player than Gaff was when drafted.

Think 2010 will go down in club history as one of our great drafts. Gaff V Polec was the debate at the time and right now you'd take Gaff any day, there's a chance Polec might have been traded back to SA by now if we went with him anyway. Gaff always had the running power, kick and talent just needed to fill out more which has done now, there was the Darling slide and than getting the best rated ruck in Lycett to develop for post Dean Cox.

Ending up with Cripps as well via St. Kilda is just an added bonus from the draft
Gaff v Heppell. I was in camp Heppell, one of the only ones.

Most wanted Polec or that NM player.

Happy with Gaff. He, Heppell and Parker are the standout midfielders.

In the lead up to the draft i was Heppell>Polec>Gaff. Earlier on in the year i was Bennell>Parker>Gorringe
Bennell would be the best, but injury has hurt him. Plus I never thought he would last to our pick.

Pre-draft I was Swallow, Bennell then Heppell. I also still rated Darling super high, the highest of the KPF, though Lynch will probs be better.

Swallow was always pick 1 from a year out so knew he wasn't a chance and in the lead up knew bennell would go top 3. Never rated day at all.
 
we should have been given pick 2 or 3 in that draft. Its actually good we ended up getting gaff and then getting a few steals in the end. Its good we resisted the WA temptation then or we could have ended up with a conca.
