Saints to get 'aggressive', interested in Gaff - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-23/sai ... ed-in-gaff

Not a chance though unfortunately, but its official. Tipping they made it public because J McGovern made a decision.

I reckon the Saints are better off targeting a couple of players that have the potential to become A grade instead of going after 1 A grader. Just my opinion.

Gaff is FA he will cost us nothing except cap space

Potential A-graders are likely not to be FAs therefore would cost us draft picks which we don't have much of this year and if we want to have a dig at Kelly or Shiel next year then no use giving up next year's first rounder this year

Gaff was a product from the Oakleigh Chargers so is an Eastern Suburbs lad which might help but I can see Hawks dipping their finger in the Gaff honeypot which could screw our chances

Personally I think he will stay in WA given Eagles are in a Premiership window

Your opinion is a joke.

We could get Gaff as a FA and keep pick 4. No brainer.

The truth is Gaff wouldnt even consider coming to the Saints.

We are a JOKE. The coach is a JOKE.

Wake up to reality.

The only thing Lethers will be 'cracking' is a fat in a VIP room at a strip club.

I saw him speak at a function recently. He seems very capable. Made a mistake and deserves a chance to make up for it.

Id like us to see us get 'aggressive' ON THE GROUND!

FFS.

What does 'aggressive' at the trade table even mean? Shouting loudly on the phone to player agents?
Bringing a Bull terrier along?

Seriously - our club is run by dumb asses.

Yep. We need to overlook his mistake. He is a good operator and is making or is in the process of making necessary changes.

No chance for Gaff, but more worrying is Lethlean indicating we might take a tall with our 1 early pick.
Hopefully just a cunning ruse.


Nee!

Very 'good operator'.

Hilarious!

Is he well regarded in AFL circles too?

Yep and as soon as we appoint a head coach with some credibility we might be able to attract players like Gaff?

The only interest Gaff will have with the Saints is how far we can push his price up at the club he wants to go to.

think we can chalk another year gone without landing anyone. no point having a war chest if no one wants to come.
i still think our only hope is showing some promise next year and making kelly the biggest offer in history.
not landing one whilst we at least had the attraction of roo and joey here was a big opprtunity missed. we have no one inspiring to attract similar talent, and show no signs of contending for awhile.
best we may do is get some experience in,

Whatever.

Sack the coach and all his assistants first and bring in some decent cattle off the field first before effing around with FA.

I see Gaff was pick 4 and delivered from early on. Imagine us nailing a pick that far down??

Then I’ll be a bit more positive and pleasured.

You must care if you’re writing about it, so take a leaf and tell him yourself, liar.

You’ve been found out as a fraud, a hoax and a liar.
