Suckling for your 2nd?

I have a bad feeling it could be Clinton Young all over again if we brought in Suckling, id rather pass, great player though, just dont think hes for us.

 

[Oddhawk]

Half back with a laser left.

Big upgrade on Harry O

Yeah, i love his kicking action, but i have heard from people and seen him myself crumble under pressure, which would happen a lot more with us than it currently does with Hawthorn.

Hes a top up player in my opinion, and we arent good enough yet to start topping up, we need to get our core settled first before we start recruiting players to compliment our side.

Yeah fair view too I think.
Just throwing it out there.

Yeah no worries, i really like his long goes, so low and fast.

Any reason why Hawk supporters are putting him on there trade market?

Divides supporters for the very reasons you mention. Can be soft as butter and not a very good defender but he has one of the best kicks in the game and is a real weapon.

 

[Oddhawk]

I think once we're at full strength he's not in our best 22. Particularly if we snag a big fish come October.

We may need another pic under 30 to get it done

Whats Jarryd Blair worth trade wise?

I think we could get more value out of a straight trade, but a pick 35+ i think we might get.

Suckling for your 2nd?

Well he is a Lethal Left Foot Kick. Same was said about Young and he has been found out a bit at Collingwood.

So is Suckling has more Tricks then being a Fantastic Left Foot Long Penetrating Kick?

 

[Oddhawk]

The clear difference between Young and Suckers is Suckers is an ACCURATE penetrating long left footer.

He's our hand off out side 50 for a certain goal

would love to have suckling, where do I sign?

Packet of chips.

[Unknown Identity]

Suckling has a lot more skill than Young.

He is praised for his long raking left foot, accurate 50 metre passes.

Personally..

His peripheral vision and ability to drag a pass across his body and hit a target 20-35 metres and the receiving player not even break stride is his underrated weapon.

Would highly consider 2nd round draft pick. Only just turned 26.

FFS, you people don't know how to haggle.

calamackid - Blair is a premiership player and a fixture in our 22 through the year. He's right in the sweet spot of experience vs youth and is quite durable - has amazingly dodged any notable injury while all around him have gone down. He adds quite a bit of leadership and is highly rated within the club for his work rate and defensive acts. I think he'd add a lot to Richmond's forward line in terms of keeping balls locked in there and creating turn overs. Alternatively, he's played as an inside mid before and while probably not a permanent midfielder can certainly rotate through there.

Given all this, we'd be looking for a second round pick for him.

They are haggling.

They start low
You go high
And ultimately meet in the middle.

On a side note... Renouf was a premiership player too... But sure as s#!t wasn't worth 29

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Exactly! THEY start low, not us!

 

[Oddhawk]

I mean a packet of salt and vinegar chips and 600ml Coke at least...

Neither is Blair.

It's why he's staying at Collingwood because we'd never get a serious deal for him.

Makes sense to me. I think he adds some unpredictability to your forward.

A bit like Puopolo from your mob.

Blairy just doesn't have the same impact.
