There is something I find unconvincing about Hall. Maybe it's the fact we've been linked to him a few times and he's supposedly knocked us back each time. Dunno.

But I'm one of the few who'd be more curious to see how we'd go with Gaff, Polec, Rohan than with Gaff, Polec, Hall.
From the few interactions I've had with Hall he strikes me as a loyal type. Probably wanted to give back to the club that drafted him.

But the reported conflict with him and the coaches may have gotten too much and outweighed the sense of loyalty.

I'm constantly amazed at how every other club's trade thread is filled with absurd speculation, baseless rumour mongering and ignorant dart throwing, whilst ours remains the haven of reasoned, factually based and logical debate, supported by eminently practical propositions. It's uncanny.

Another interesting element of every other team's trade board is you see people who last year were all "LOL, as Kelly's dad playing a few dozen games for Norf means anything in a contract situation" being all SHYLAN DIEL BARRACKED FOR BOMBERZ AS A KID HE'S OURS HE'S OURS!
 
Sydney I’ve got no doubt are up to something big this trade period. Don’t think it’s Gaff though.

Zero doubt about that. Gaff with the family pull etc would make a move to Sydney Tippett like in its head scratching from the Gaff camp.

I think they have Moore and Mc Govern on the string.
 
There is a verbal agreement of some shape in place. I can't go into details because it would betray confidences.

In essence, this has been in the works a very long time and is arguably the longest path I've ever seen one club walk to get one footballer.
Longer then David Swallow?

I know we've had success with Waite, Williams and Higgins but just by bringing Rohan to North is not going to magically fix his inability to get his hands on the football. It isn't a gamelan thing, he has NEVER been able to find the footy and that includes all his junior footy. People get blinded by his pace.
 
Gaff will be on MMM Perth tomorrow

Should be in defence. Stop the forward, run forward when able.
 
I can categorically confirm for you all that Gaff will be a roo next year despite the Sydney rumours that have surfaced this morning. I cannot reveal my source but what I can tell you is that this is a ploy by the media to make us up our offer for Gaff and increase the chances of west coast matching for him and forcing a trade.
 
Cornes saying that Polec has been pleading with Port to increase their offer but no dice.

With that in mind, does that make his heart 100% in it if he comes?

Cornes has said a lot of things the last few months.

That doesn't make sense.

Why would us upping our offer make WC more likely to match? If anything it is the other way around.

Yeah, the ideal situation for WC is us upping our offer and them NOT matching to get a better compo pick.
