Or you might have broken poppy if you did that. There's a trend....

Now that's just mean

 

[eldorado]

when are the the delistings announced?

After we've tried flogging them off to every other club...

Why clubs delist prior to that beggars me. I mean, what's the point of not asking?

He will play in the VFL this week according to Andrew Russell. This is pretty much it. How he finishes the year off in the VFL may determine whether or not he gets a new contract extension.

He will be at the club next year mate

I hope so. I'd like to see the Mitchell, O'Meara and O'Rourke midfield trio in 2018.

Andrew Russell said: 'we decided to give him a really good rehab, put a conditioning block into him, so that he can finish the year really strongly and we expect him to come back and play some good footy for us.'

From a statement like that it seems like he's firmly in our plans for next year and hopefully can get his body right. We've seen some younger players thrive with the departure of Sam and Jordan, so hopefully O'Rourke is one that lives us to his potential.

Now that's a name i haven't heard in a long, long time.

 

[Brishawk]

Good luck Jono! Deserves a run at it. Lets hope he gets through unscathed and can build towards 2018.

 

[Dipper]

Be silly to get rid of him, seemed like he was showing his best ever form prior to breaking down.

One last crack next year and fingers crossed.

Won't make sense to get rid of him. Still young and did have a couple of very solid games at BH before luck deserted him..... Again.

I'm hoping we give him 2018 as his last chance to get healthy and break into senior side, was good in the VFL this year before the usual JOR hamstring injury.

They have spent a lot of time and energy on getting him right this year. Have approached it in a similar way to what they have done with JOM - ultra conservative with massive rehab block. Would seem strange to de-list him given all of that

Star Wars and JOR reference

You're my kind of poster

It seems this is the plan to me. He's got skill, talent, athleticism. Just crap hamstrings. A midfield with a Brownlow medalist (knock on wood), a Rising Star and a #2 pick could be a nightmare for the competition (one man's nightmare is another man's wet dream).

It will take incredibly hard work and a good dose of luck (what champion team doesn't need those?), but the Hawks are staring a phenomenal opportunity. I'm almost giddy thinking how exciting this could all be.

I see JOR as our Burgers replacement long term.

Bloody big shoes to fill

Naah he just brings something different to what we have in the midfield. Important player good skills and vision. Could be a great receiverin traffic

I think what I mean is that he may rotate around the field in a similar way.

The only Burgoyne replacement I can see is a like for like clone!

Now that's a name i haven't heard in a long, long time.

I find your lack of faith disturbing...

 

[threesixpio]

I've got a bad feeling about this

 

[Agent Smith]

I hope so. I'd like to see the Mitchell, O'Meara and O'Rourke midfield trio in 2018.

If so, would we have to change Tom's name to O'Mitchell?

 

[offtherails9]

Not many people on the list I want to see do well and succeed. Cops it on here but the injuries obviously aren't his fault and I can imagine the mental demons he has faced trying to get through this. Was in amazing form pre injury this year and he will play a big role next year.

He's going to have to wait a few years still

 

[Since 2001]

would be silly to let him go.
we need all the depth we can get at the moment especially not having as many high draft picks.
if he can stay healthy I believe he can become a B grade player
