Craig O’Donoghue: West Coast Eagles star Andrew Gaff’s running power made him the ultimate teammate
There’s a real irony that West Coast are selecting veteran Andrew Gaff in matches against North Melbourne and Carlton to ensure he plays the two games required for AFL Life Membership. It could be argued that the amount of time he spent on the ground at his peak means he’s actually played more games than his tally suggests.
Of course, players aren’t measured by the amount of time they spend on the field. But if they were, Gaff would have already hit key milestones because of his extraordinary ability to keep running. Courage comes in many forms and Gaff always had the guts to suck in another big breath, put his head down and just keep running.
