[Teamwork Talks]

Pelchan interviewed on SEN this morning says that Hawks need a big bodied forward and an inside midfielder.
I agree with him.

Roughead --> midfield
Schoey --> forward

Next?

Here's where I'm glad big footy posters have no say in the running of our club.

I do not think much of the Pelican but he is right with the inside midfielder. Next few years our stars will be retiring Mitchell and Hodge so we have to recruit a couple of inside midfielders especially big bodied players if we can land any.

 

[coxy149]

A couple people have suggested that the hawks might make a play for Lachlan Henderson?

Think the Hawks see Howe as that sort of player.

Yep i am pretty excited about Howe he is going to be a beauty, he can play multiple roles, hope he gets plenty of game time and learns from our Stars to go the next level.

 

[Buddy Guy]

i really hope we manage to recruit Oleg Markov, was a quality kid in last years draft pool, but got over-looked by clubs, so has had another great year in the u/18's, i really like how he plays and i hope we pick him up

Looks a little undersized.

 

[walhawk]

Without salary cap room for players who can spot straight in, I would say we don't add anyone. Fringe trades like JOR are not what we need.
When Hodge / Mitch / Burgoyne go we will be able to get anyone.
But not this preseason.

 

[halfback dasher]

Hi Dasher love your posts, I was thinking (and yes it made my head hurt) maybe we may trade out a couple of players to get future draft picks in next years draft. How does this fly with you?

My friend , I think what you say makes a lot of sense

Did he not watch the grand final? Shoey??

Schoey is the forward now - Rough Schoey and gunston means that big forwards are no longer a problem at hawthorn.

Inside midfielder hmmmm - I really like Cam Ellis Yolman from the crows. In his first proper season and given a go he showed a bit. Would come alot cheaper than Bennell Aish etc and is alot tougher. The problem with any midfielder coming to Hawthorn is trying to get a game

The significant proportion of people on this board that underrate Hill this badly is criminal.

If you actually understand the way we play, you would then not sandbag Hill and how important his role is to our squad.

 

[Hometown Hawk]

Uhm, Yes.


Let me repeat, yes.

The only thing I think you both have right are his age and the number of medals around his neck.
RELIABLE????

HOly Toledo.

That's ok, you get to have your opinion too, no matter how much your rubbish someone elses.

I'm also on board with you here Flinch. Hill is fast becoming a passenger.

 

[tige19]

I'd only consider a Hill trade if it was for an elite player coming the other way and Hill wanted to go back to WA.. If we could get Schuey/Neale/Gaff Id entertain it, otherwise no go.

Any news on Aish? Wasnt the rumors going around that he wanted to wait until finals finished or something? Cmon mate just release your desired club so we can facilitate it.

Neale yes IF he wanted to play with his brother
Schuey Gaff no no no no..

 

[spudmaster]

No. Looking forward to the HillBilly combo next year, thankyou.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

And Jed seems to be hard at it and able to compete with the bigger guys.

I am in agreement with you.
Running off the ball to create space for others is a thankless task. Dragging a defensive structure to allow others to penetrate a defensive zone is critical in todays footy. And when the opposition refuse to run with Hill, he gets on the end of easy goals.

His role isn't to crash packs. People need to accept that.

 

[dermott]

I wonder if there is any correlation between those wanting to trade Hill this year and those wanting to trade Schoey last year? Maybe they are the same ones who called Frawley a dud and Burgoyne past his best.
The trade and free agency period really is the silly season.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I think I might delete all the discussion around Hill being traded, for two reasons.

A) there's absolutely no news or info to suggest that Hill is going anywhere so it doesn't belong here..

B) it's not going to happen.

 

[WWSD]

Our center line for 2016 is starting to look pretty good.

 

[SSSSSS]

Bennell has got the radioactive Beau Dowler head going on.

 

[tige19]

Neale yes IF he wanted to play with his brother
Schuey Gaff no no no no..

Bro... Schuey and Gaff are high end elite mids, if he wanted to go to perth that would be as fair a deal going. It's just rubbish anyway, hill is staying and we love him.

Absolutely spot on.
With the eradication of the sub rule next season, a large focus will go on players ability to run out games.

Thankfully the Hawks have planned for this with 3 aerobic beasts on our team - Hill, Smith and Hartung (possibly even Hardisity) - all elite runners.

Expect these 3 to be in the same team for a lot of 2016 and beyond, running teams ragged.

And anyone knocking Hill need to remember he is 22 and has already exceeded all expectations. The chances are he has a lot more upside to come - a scary proposition for opposing teams.
And while we're pumping up his tyres here, surely Hill has the highest premierships to games ratio in the history of the game - 3 flags in 75 games - a flag every 18.75 games!
