He doesn't strike me as that sort of character though. Being the consummate professional that he is he will probably play round 1 however the issue is to what level will he play at.
Was thinking the exact same thing. Hopefully it puts GWS in a position of power and allows them to well and truly ream that arrogant prick Dodora and stick it up his smug *don mates (slobbo hird Williams).

GV melt notwithstanding, I would love to get a player like May into our side. Haven't seen some real mongrel from a Carlton player since..... hmmmmm.....maybe The Hyphen.
Ugh go away Shiel. Why SOS so obsessed with this guy? Let him go to the scum.

Bad luck guys, appears SOS is waiting to pounce, but nothing will happen. Sheil himself believes he'll be a Bomber at 8.30 pm tomorrow night, according to Tony Sheahan................................

Please no. I'm at a full about face. Don't want him. Way too expensive, and anyway what will we trade for him? We going to trade ourselves out of the next two drafts? I am more than happy with McGov, Setters and Solo. Excellent trade bounty that will significantly improve our list and that didn't cost us overs.
No, let him go to * and they can fork out for his massive contract, or let him stay with the Giants - and we can enjoy the melts on the * board.

Tom Scully has signed a deal at Hawthorn which is at least four years long.

I didn't say that they'd win it, merely highlighted that Dads Army type teams have in the past.
One thing that can't be denied is that they know a thing or two about winning premierships.
Love it how we, on this board, are so happy to downgrade the value of any trade that doesn't involve us.
We werent Dads army in 95....it was the right balance

Scully will still play some decent football, but Hawks are really pushing for another flag in the next 2-3 years. After that, it may get ugly
To be honest I wasn't red hot on Shiel from the start yes he is a good player but both Kelly and Cogs I'd take before Shiel. I really don't want player that isn't all in if he falls to us now.
If Essendope don't pay two first and we end up with him can he leave after a year as a free agent and we get compo?

Enough time to get the ankle right or a bloody long time hopping around the field.

Not so sure about that. Yes they have introduced plenty of kids but they have plenty of older players slowly declining. The academy does provide an advantage however they now have to pay a reasonable price and wont have any free hits.

Have to factor in the type of player Scully is too. Taking away 10-20% of his running power is going to have a huge impact on his game.
The Hawks did well to trade players in when draft picks were over-valued and they had the list to win flags, but they’re taking some serious list management risks, and aren’t addressing real areas of need, namely bringing in key position talent.
If Burton goes they’ve got no decent young talent, and a few inflated contracts on their list.

Hope we can help GWS at least
We know it's a completed trade and just awaiting wanting the big show tomorrow such a farcical over commercialization of trade week and the game.

Scully must be cooked. Sounded like a bad ankle injury at the time. Seen how long Thomas took to get to a stage where he was playing decent footy again. Running is 80% of scully's game, probably more, take that away and he's just a nothing player. Probably a good result for all. Reckon Hawks have two years at the most before things get pretty average. Could easily fall apart next year if injuries and age start to set in.
Goes to show how injuries devalue players and why Setterfield really didn't cost us a great deal.
Surely Essendon and GWS get a deal done. Surely Essendon could trump whatever we have to offer. Would be funny if they didn't.

Whilst I wish no ill-will on Scully himself, I sure hope he's busted. Otherwise Hawks yet again shop at insane bargain prices whilst the rest of us shlubs are paying premiums. It really stings.
