Good points!
The negatives are out weighing the positives to include Gaff on my list.

Around the same price, Yeo would be the better selection, if he stays healthy in the preseason. Yeo returned to playing AFL last year in the second half of the season and his match times steadily increased. He returned early for preseason training, so it's looking good. He didn't have a preseason the last 2 years.
To be honest I don’t really rate him as a player, overrated.

Hello Everyone

What affect will the tighter holding the ball interpretation have on players like Clayton Oliver?
Tackle = 4
Free Against = -4

I'd image that inside players will basically balance out an extra FA with an extra tackle counted.

Players who are taggers/player rather than ball focussed, may be able to bump their score with an increase in tackles counted 1.5 - 2 a game.

Until we see it in action, and/or hear the results from match simulation, it's a guessing game.

Players are very talented with ball in hand. They will just dispose of the footy quicker I reckon.
The two best handballing teams out of a stoppage played off in a Granny last year & funnily enough their mids continuously finish Top 10 of all mids in SC scoring.

Tom Mitchell & Lachie Neale - Both excellent hands.

I don't think the new interpretation will impact the topliners too much.

Agreed, I'm not planning on starting him, or many GWS players at all for the reasons listed. Cogs and rookies might be exceptions.
Started a new job a few months ago and recently found out that one of the guys that I get along well with turns out to be Leon Cameron's brother. This poor bloke is about to be pounded with questions concerning GWS players. :)

I hope the brothers communicate regularly ;)
Yeah, he hasn't mentioned it at all in the past 4 months then one of the other workers told me his brother was involved with the AFL.
I thought he was talking about Jeremy Cameron until Leon turned up at work a few weeks ago, then the penny dropped.
The only the discussion we've had so far is when I said to him I see your bro has recruited the great man (Hirdy) to the club.

so you are saying Neale at M1 won't work ? ;)

Neale, Berry, Constable , Horne-Franics, Daicos, Ward, Stephens (Sydney) , Hobbs + 3
@Connoisseur

Had him pencilled in at M7 but forgot all about Milera-Wanganeen so he can be M8.

Does McInerney get first crack at the wing spot though ? too long ago can't remember their wing setup
