Dam, I need more $$$ out of him! :P

whats he worth, and have u got good back up?? westcoast will start losing games soon, and that means he will get plenty of chances when it happens

$169k and breakeven of 40ish, doesnt look like he will go up unless he gets a full game and none of this sub shower. (hate to say it as an eagles supporter, but actually need an injury in the early stages of the game for him to get a full game....wow I think i support DT more than my team)

Well arent i happy i kept him... even happier that i HAD to play him this week. 104 pts, a negative B/E and surely going to get a gig next week!

wasnt the best idea keeping him, but yeh really liked his game last night
its frustrating Darling keeps getting subbed out he scores pretty decent then they sub him!

yeah gun. i had him from the start aswell. his scored 68 and 104 in his first 2 full games of footy. worsfold said in his press conference that he will assess if gaff should be sub. no way mate, gaff should never be sub again. i also dont like how koby stevens is gonna be the sub a lot lately coz he is also going to be an elite midfilder like gaff.

I think the strategy is to ease them into footy to a) lengthen careers and b) put onus on the senior players and not the kids as what has happened over the past 3 years. I'm glad to see the results like Gaff's performance on the weekend and if he's fresh & hungry from here on in, well that's only a bonus to the Eagles team. Midfield is looking great for next season.

gaff could be a good buy in 2012 :)

i don't know if he'll be value next year - monitor and see if he's a 3rd yr break-out rule candidate?

Zarts · July 18, 2011, 05:53:28 PM

Gaff won't be good value unless he plays a couple more subbed games to drag his avg back down :P

Gaff is a great player but unfortunately has been a victim of the Eagles healthy list this season. In any other team he would have been given earlier opportunity for full games as players fell around him. The Eagles have had the best run with injuries in the league this season, with 12 of their top 22 being available for every game.

Gaff has to take his opportunities for the remaining games now and set himself up for next year. It's been a tough team to break into, but I think he'll do very well from here on.
