"big news out of Richmond after 12pm" Triple M?

[JVT]

from what i have seen of gaff, and admittedly it isnt a great deal, i dont see him that much better than reece.
also, statistically there isnt much difference.

If you are going by last year's statistics, they don't paint the full picture. Gaff was a sub in 80% of games (from memory, I saw the stat start of this season for Supercoach). He has been much better then what the stats suggest, and this season has been given more of a chance and looks like he will be a gun.

There is a reason Gaff was taken earlier than Conca in the draft, but that's not to say Conca is a spud. Both will be very good players.

Gaff hasn't missed a game this season for the Weagles, and is averaging 25 touches (16 kicks 9 handballs), 5 marks, 1.5 tackles and kicked 8 goals.

Conca (played 18 games) averaging 19 touches (11 kicks and 8 handballs), 4 marks, 3 tackles and has kicked 5 goals.

Gaff probably needs more defensive work, but shows he knows how to find the pill and uses it really well also (don't have the time to find DE%).

Agreed, not a world of difference, but when comparing 2nd year players the difference is big enough to know we'd be winning in a straight swap out of the 2.

different sorts of players though.
DE is pretty much the same , 75.91 for gaff and 75.02 for conca, but 34% of concas possessions are contested while 22% of gaffs are. conca averages 3.1 tackles a game while gaff averages 1.6.

you could argue that conca wins out in the DE efficiency stakes considering his much greater % of contested possesions, but one thing stats cant show is how creative they can be with the ball

Stick Stevie Morris in the mid field and Gaff as another running mid field option, job done

does gaff get under packs and get the ball out?

No, and that's why a swap won't be the outcome.  As someone else posted earlier, we would more likely be offered a player from a sector that WCE are overstocked in and outside midfielders is not it.  Gaff might be just as good or better than Conca but the Eagles want to bolster their midfield stocks, not rearrange them.

Thought it was understandable considering Ebert is a former Eagles player.
