I know right? In 7 years time, heāll be coming off his third Brownlow and fifth premiership. We donāt want him walking out the door for nothing. Offer Gaff 8 years!
Essendon have a 6 year deal infront of Andrew, and I can almost guarantee he will be at EFC next season.
This is what I believe will happen.
West Coast dont match
P17 or so as Comp
Essendon trade guelfi + 8 for 17 and x 2nd rounder⦠yes we go backwards but itās so they donāt match.
8 goes elsewhere as part of a package for Kelly or whoever else they are chasing.
I wouldnāt necessarily worry about future cap pressures; Hurley, Hooker, Heppell, Zaharakis and Bellchambers are likely in their max contracts now and will likely be on reducing contracts from here on.
Weāve also drafted and built a team of kids who have leaderships qualities and value on field success, the type of guys who willing take unders to keep a group together.
Another person who signed up 16 hours ago declaring with almost certainty that Gaff is coming to Essendon and āconvenientlyā throws in Guelfi as the sweetener. I say conveniently because that the very scenario thatās being talked about today
