He also seems to be very much part of that core young group that is really driving us at the moment. As is Clarke.

That should be considered when making list management decisions. It's not everything but it warrants consideration.

Good locker room guys.

It's why I'm so hesitant aside from salary cap, draft capital etc to start trading players in.

Let the culture grow, let them bring in more young draftees to be a part of the culture and then in a year or two get a couple of pieces to put the cherry on top of the list.

Those of us who may be a little longer in the tooth will remember the impact of getting rid of guys like Steve Carey and Peter Bradbury in the 80's.

GUELFIOUS GLORIOUS

Excellent news.

Absolutely. Heffernan, Blumfield and Caracella as well after 2001.

 

[WindyHillWarrior]

Im actually relived. I thought he'd leave for wa.

A clubman that every premiership side needs

 

[astrowizzle]

Excellent news. This guy has mongrel. Needs to share some of it around - that means you 2mp (whom I really like the). Great team man and happy to fly the flag when needed

 

[naraku]

Very good news. I thought he was heading home for sure but I am happy he is sticking around.

 

[ghostdog]

Stoked with this. Guelfi always brings maximum effort and energy. Epitomises 'blue collar' so it should be no surprise Truck's chosen to keep him.

 

[TDay]

Stoked he's hanging around! I also thought he was WA bound

What happened to 8 million over 8yrs

My first thought was that we've retained a loyal West Coast/Guelfi fan for another year, when I heard the news.

Happy days Mr. R T

Normal hair, great form.
Rubbish haircut, shit form....
I tell you, there IS something to it dammit!

A good result, although a little surprised they didn't go for 2years.

Rubbish haircut, sh*t form....

damnit why didn’t I think of this? You’re right!

 

[fairbump_playon]

good looking… great front and centreing

 

[blitzer]

He's going pretty well up forward lately. At absolute worst he's quality depth. Good on him for earning himself another contract.

Surely am upgrade on Smith would drop Smith before Guelfi

I was surprised that Dev is actually rated pretty high in pressure acts this year although that could just be he is running around not being able to catch blokes.

So looking into it

1. Anytime a tackle is laid or you touch someone with the ball
2. Closing pressure getting close to a player disposing the ball also smothers
3. If you chase someone
4. If you are corralling someone

Seriously, Dev’s pressuring is still really good. You just need to watch closely to see the effect he has on an oppo player’s disposals even when he doesn’t touch them.

He makes them happen 50m closer to their goal?
