Every club would have 5 or more players on a fair bit of coin.

With performances like last night Iâm hoping we are looking more attractive to guys like Gaff.

Our midfield would bat very deep with this guy in it.
eh. it can turn around quickly for teams. and itâs a qtr of a million dollars and exposure to victoria where the bulk of the football coaching/media/sponsorships are.
Word in AFL circles, is that McGovernâs new contract is in the Top 5 or 6 in the AFL! The cap must surely have tightened at the Eagles. For our sake (and I want Gaff to just top things off) I hope Lycett signs soon and Gaff feels the squeeze.
Right now we have to look as attractive as ANY Victorian club to come to right now (team style, winning form, senior coach, facilities, sponsor/media exposure, crowd numbers, âMarqueeâ games etc.)

My mail has west coast prioritising Gaff and exploring alternative ruck options to Lycett if the price is too high.
Itâs good mail.
Spewing.

We get Gaff as a FA.
We send Leuenberger to West coast, for pick 115, As a sweetener (so they donât match the bid)

Any interest in Lycett?
Looney is cooked and Draper isnât ready, we are very reliant on TBell being fit and healthy next year.
I reckon he would thrive being the number 1 tuck in a side and rate him highly, but would assume after being second fiddle to Nic Nat so long heâs only going to go somewhere where heâs the top banana
Nup.
Unless both of Bellyâs legs fell off tomorrow.
I think itâs an area we need to address in the off season. Looney will be gone.
So we are one Bellchamber mishap from having to rely on draper and Lavender as the number one ruck for a season.
Agree about getting a other ruck but it would have to be a genuine no.2 ruck. I wouldnât be spending big coin on 2 rucks on one list.

If this yearâs taught me anything, itâs that relying on your backups isnât that big of a deal.

I wouldnât mind Loony as a back up, but not Draper. And certainly not Lavender. They are just not ready.
Leueneyâs there as backup, Draper and Lavender very much in development (although I donât think Draper is that far away).
Ideally we could find a Leueny whoâs a few years younger and still able to run.
