Yeah or Neah - 2. Darren Gaspar

[one-eyed]

Last year around this time we took a look at each Tiger on the borderline and got opinions on who should stay or go. So I thought we do the same with the current crop.

As Newy is safe, Gas is first up. He only played 8 games this year due to injury and we know his kicking deficiencies but in the last 4 games he played he held Tarrant, Tredrea and Neitz quiet while he kept up with Barry Hall when we got smashed by the Swans at the SCG. So should he stay on a reduced contract or be delisted?

For the record over the last two years most OERites thought he was gone lol

[blaisee]

nay

[Fishfinger]

Yeah.
Veteran Liist, one year contract. We're very light on for KP backmen. A few possibilities being developed but not ready.

What he said 

Gas showed in his last few game that he still had the smarts against the monsters.

With Thursfields return (considering how bad his knee injury was) having a question mark next to it short-term - I reckon we need Gaspar for insurance.

1 year deal

[Mr Magic]

A resounding NO from me.

Had a very ordinary season and we have proved that we can win without him.

The new dawn is apon us. Thanks Gaspar.

[PuntRdRoar]

Out if we can trade him for a 3rd rounder otherwise in for a year at about 40% of what his on at the moment.

[letsgetiton!]

nay

[LondonTiger]

Hmmm, tough one to start with.

I would keep. 

A fit and firing Gasper is definitely a plus.

Will be a new contract, so I guess a one year or cheap two year deal would be on the cards.  Not sure what sort of a trade would be possible if Gas did not agree to these terms.

Maybe a trade to Melbourne or Freo? 

We have bigger problems than Gasper.  At least Gasper is a committed player.  That is something you need around the club to teach the young blokes what commitment is.

[Fluffy Tiger]

Keep for me. Sure we showed we could win without him but agianst who??

I think he can still be usefull against some of the bigger fowards and he can sit it out when the is no match up for him. It also give us time to develop someone (not sure who) to take his place.

[Ox]

U must be kidding?

We cant keep him - WTF for ?

He's a sh it role model and a sh it l.eader.

The sooner we get him and his type away from the club the healthier our new attitude and direction
will look and be.

His departure will spped up the replacemnet factor and signify the beginning of a new,talented era.,IMO.

We owe him nothing!

[Mopsy]

Yeah for one more year for mine

[Bulluss]

I also agree that Gas isnt the worst of our troubles.

Thursty is hopefully the answer but he may not comeback to his best straight away.

If Gas can have a good pre-season and on a one year contract he may do well especially if there's a chance to play finals.

[Ox]

that's just disappointing.

[Rodgerramjet]

He'll probably get another year unless he retires, With our depleted makshift backline he maybe needed as insurance next year. I'm not fully convinced he deserves it as OX has pointed towards his attitude and demeanor is not up to standard he's ultra conservative and plays like an accountant in football gear. Has done some good things for us over the years but Time is almost up.

If we had other solid options at full-back for the gorillas of the comp (Gehrig, Hall and alike) then Gas would be let go but we don't. Razor can't do it and we rob Peter to save Paul by trying Joel back there. Thursty having his knee bent the wrong way hurt not only him but also our immediate future plans. Hopefully Will won't suffer the same fate as Brad Gwilliam and can come back from a knee early on in his senior footy career.

Gas if he accepts a reduced contract will be a cheap option/back-up for us next year as the salary cut plus being on the Veterans' list would mean he would be hardly contributing to our salary cap.
