Lets be pragmatic here. At the end of the day, Hawthorn Footy Club lives on.
Whilst i dont understand the trade with Saints, it obviously done to obtain JOM.
Be proud that our club values our players as people and not assets. Our success is uncompared both on and off the field.
Suns are...
The rationale of Lewis/Mitchell i can understand. Tugs at the heart strings, but good buisness for all parties.
The Tom Mitchell trade was a win in my eyes.
In that respect, we've done well... but in isolation the trade with St Kilda is concerning.
That may all change and we trade in JOM or...
And will be exacerbated even more if we can not get him.
Understand the clubs decisions with Mitchell/Lewis, but the all out pursuit of JOM may set us back in the short/medium term.
A big 48 hours for us coming up.
With the loss of Mitchell/Lewis/Hill and if we miss out on JOM, will we need to renegotiate some contracts to front end them as we need to pay 95% of the cap as per AFL rules?
(Estimate only) Lewis 500, Mitchell 600, JOM 600 is 1.7 million we have not spent...
This is of course if nobody else...
Honestly, can not see what Hawks can give with 10 for him to satisfy Suns.
I think our only hope is if he makes 10 in the national draft.
The trade with St Kilda, in isolation, looks pretty horrendous right now...
If Stratton didn't go down with injury, it was his to lose.
Cyril or Sammy. If we held it 2 weeks later, Graham Wright would of been a chance as well (if what we want to happen, happens).
Interested in thoughts of where his best position is.
Half Back, Wing/Midfield or Half Forward?
Such a versatile player could easily do all, but where is he best suited?
Great point. 2016 Brand isn't waht we need but with time 2016/17/18 Brand may develop into exactly what we need.
I believe his market value is less then what his value to us is.
Surely the Suns will be on the phone to what Hawks player/s they want?
It's not a matter of Hawthorn pushing them out to facilitate the trade.
Going to be an interesting trade period to see if gets done.
I am a Hawks man living in Brisbane and a Lions member attending each home game to get my live footy fix.
Selfishly i would love for you to get Casboult as he is what makes Footy exciting. The big contested mark like an old fashioned forward and the big long goals. Something that may appeal to...
Unless players need a 'mental' break to freshen up, we need players like Hill, Rough, Birchall etc to get some confidence over the next 2 weeks.
All about our versatility, but in finals we are going to need a tall forward to draw the footy and we used to have a coleman medalist to do that...
