[Fart Cummings]

will be a great back up now! get him on the coaching books!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Good luck to him, he deserves some.

 

[Josh Barnstable]

He injured it in Round 7 against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba heh?

All the best H.

 

[King Corey]

Sorry for Hamish but gives him time to deal with the issue properly.

Happy to see the article mentioned his contract status for next year too.

Hopefully the end to the emo "trade Hamish for 15 x 2 year olds / Hamish wants to leave / you don't need more than 1 mature ruckman on your list / our form trough was ALL due to 2 ruckmen" etc etc threads.

LOL, didn't know Norf could afford LARS.

I didn't know SoundWave could afford him either but apparently he's coming.

My recollection is that he injured it at Etihad in the middle of our bad patch. He ran into someone's back near the interchange area.

Was there any other option considering he didn't have a PCL in the first place?

Yeah. Knee Reco's use muscle from the hamstring to replace the ACL, IIRC.

Edit - Yep, exactly as what is in the link above.

Apparantly happy with Hamish having him though

 

[GarnerSmash]

So H hasn't had a PCL for four years? Fair play to him even getting out onto the park. This is an upgrade then.

H 2.0

 

[True North]

Maybe he will jump high with his new body part.

Trade Goldy

Trade Goldy

It's not a bionic knee.

Speaking of H, next week on AFL.com.au

Next week: North Melbourne's Hamish McIntosh rates the best ruckmen of the last 25 years.

 

[shinboner magic]

How do we trade him now.

Bloody hell.

Might be giving his body an upgrade before we trade him.

 

[naturally north]

Trade Goldy

Just getting off the actual ground would be pretty cool me thinks.

107 games in 10 years.

In hindsight, terrible draft pick.

We should have taken Laycock instead

 

[roo beleaver]

Geez, he hasn't had any luck

Him being a spud doesnt excuse the fact we are getting half a season out of a high pick who has had 1-2 above average seasons in his career

Name a better tall we should have taken....

 

[naturally north]

Name a better tall we should have taken....

Persaonally I've no issue with us drafting H, but am a little perplexed as to why we off loaded Hale? I mean he's got two working knees and clearly H hasn't and even worse didn't when we decided to move Hale on!

Kieran Harper >>>>>>>> David Hale

No ruckman. But plenty of others who have produced more over their career.

It was a weak draft, but the point Im making is that Hamish has not produced nearly enough over his career.
