I'd be more worried if you rated him...

Just answered my question. Identifying talent is not your strongest asset Good to see you're having a crack

Out of curiosity, our most prolific trading partner over the past decade was Adelaide (5 trades).

Conversely, we didn't trade with Essendon at all over the past decade  .

With Rance retired we have big space in our salary cap again. I expect us to be big players in trades over the next 2 years.

Gutted. He doesn't have to be paid does he? Why didn't he retire BEFORE the trade period???

[pmac21]

Yes agree if he was going to retire he should have done it much earlier as we would have known. 
I hope the salary cap relief is immediate and surely they shouldn't have to pay him out. 
Use the money to go after a free agent next year

does anyone feel his career is unfulfilled

i do

Gutted!!

[Simonator]

I can't help but feel he'll be back

I can't help but feel he'll be back

I feel like this might happen after the bye or next year. Wishful thinking maybe

Andrew Gaff is unconcerned his upcoming contract discussions could be a distraction, with his main focus on hitting the scoreboard more often.

The 27-year-old signed a massive six-year deal with the Eagles at the end of 2018, but it contains a clause that enables him to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this year.
