    He is made for finals.
    I agree wholeheartedly - there is something special about Smith that you cannot teach. Plays with heart and unrivaled passion; simply hates getting beaten, and this is probably why we can't wait to see him in a big final. Similar to Libba in that regard.

    I would only consider a trade if it meant we got a potential superstar KPF. Definitely not something I say lightly - I love watching Smith play.

      Andrew Gaff is out of contract come seasons end. Hasn't exactly set the world on fire yet. But has shown all the qualities of being an elite midfielder in time.

      Is quick, big tank and very good disposal. From Victoria too. I would hope we are asking questions atleast.

        Absolutely he is a very good player already I'm interested!
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          Cut us up in one of the games last year from memory - we just had no answer to his outside run

            Nothing has changed has it we still struggle with fleet-footed players on the outside getting free.

                This comment reminds me of the comment you made in response to my praise of Courtney Barnett. I have no idea if you are being sarcastic or not.... Very amusing indeed...

                  Watching Seedsman from Collingwood on Monday, who had about 10 running bounces for the game, I thought at the time that he is the type of player we could do with across half back.

                  Wood has some of those attributes, but possibly not the attacking instincts.

                    Gaff makes Wayne Campbell look courageous. Has some very handy attributes but is extremely outside and can get shut out very easily if there's any defensive work put into him. Worth looking at but not if it's a Dutch auction with 3-4 other clubs.

                      Agreed.

                      Bit of a squib, even though he has some weapons.

                        When you can carry the ball and kick as good as he can who cares about inside work - we have a plethora of insiders who can do the dirty work at our club. Gaff is a very good outside player and he kicks goals and that's what we need.

                          We are going to be looking at a lot of players if this is a prerequisite.

                              Prefer Gary Rohan over Gaff. Cheaper and IMO has potential to be a better player.

                                Is he quick, I've seen him a couple of times this year but I think there is a difference between him having pace and doing well when there isn't many around him.
