Tim Watson says he feels as though highly sought after West Coast Eagles playmaker Andrew Gaff is not worthy of a seven figures price tag as he is not a "game changing type player."
Gaff is a restricted free agent come the end of the 2018 season and has been considering returning home to Melbourne, with three clubs - North Melbourne, Carlton and St.Kilda reportedly interested in his services.
The star midfielder is average 30.8 disposals per game in 2018, and is expected to receive offers close to or even exceeding the million dollar mark, but Essendon icon Watson doesn't believe he isn't even close to worth that money.
โI donโt think heโs a seven figure player, I really donโt,โ he toldย SEN Breakfast.
โI donโt think heโs a game changing type player.
โIf you went after Dustin Martin in the midfield, youโve got someone with a capacity to change the momentum of the game, I donโt think heโs a momentum changer in any way.
โIn terms of what he does, heโs one of the best players in the game at endurance, at being able to find the ball, to find the spaces, to be the link type player, heโs improved his game on the inside.
โPeople donโt go after him week in and week out to try and tag him.
โI think they that theyโve always tried to stop the ball at the source and they donโt believe heโs the source.
โHeโs a very good player, you know what youโre going to get.
โHeโs an eight out of 10 type player, heโs a very very consistent player.โ
