No, but I think it was a good move.
The thing that shits me though is that it only came about because of our sanctions. We would never do it otherwise, as evidenced by blokes like Brent Reily being a career crow, 4 years for Mookay etc. Our trading is reactive.

What's with the Thommo hate? sure he's got a few bad habits but he'll go down as one of the club's greats trades and greatest players. seriously bro what is it about him?

True, read it as negative dig at Thommo... but do read a lot of ppl having a crack at him.
Used to love Bernie then lost his desire and his amazing talent was wasted.
Now I am pleased for him playing well but more excited about what Matt Crouch brings even now but levels he and his brother can get to .
Bernie might help demons win a couple more games than previous where Matt could even take us to the holy grail.

I was talking about long term replacement. I love Thommo, always have. There are always a few people when sides are underperforming though that have the attitude 'out with the old in with the new'. In fact even now when he is dominating every game we still have posters calling for Thommo to retire. I think we need him for one more year. It does no harm. The side is definitely better with him in it than out of it.

We didn't give Maric away. He wanted to go home for more opportunity but unlike the mummy's boy, he did it the right way.
That's why we'll always respect big Evvvvaaaannnn, there was no bitterness towards the club and we don't harbour any towards him.
Every supporter I know has a soft spot for him and wants him to do well including me (just not against us).

There's a lot of teams with great intent, ball-winning ability and teamwork (us being one of those) but if you really drill down on what makes Hawthorn so good so often, it's the skill level of their individual players.
When intensity drops off, as it invariably does, and your list isn't overly blessed with skill and awareness, your performances can really drop away (see Port Adelaide). Hawthorn are able to win games through sheer scoring and ball movement efficiency even when these so-called "KPIs" drop off.
Players with the skill level of Vince (or Burgoyne, or Mitchell, or Hodge, or Gunston) give you an increased margin for error, and the more players like that you have, the bigger the margin.
