We don’t leak mate. You should know that. I just find it funny that they say teams are watching him but they only mention us. Why is that do you think?

It’s because we’re the Big Scary Monster! Anyway, Cogs could be talking to another club, I was kind of implying that . Greenwood is not what we’re missing imo. We’re missing the Cake, an Alpha type elite leader/ footballer, not one or the other, reality is none of Gunston Breust smith or even stratts fits that category, we need players who have elite skills plus leadership and cogs may be one option but as I said a few months ago, there will be clubs coming in late for him , I believe there is!

Getting Greenwood would help take some of the heat off Mitchell and O’Meara in the midfield next year. Considering the success of Henderson who also comes from a Basketball background and was drafted at a late age too I think we should back the coaching staff given the recent strike rate.
Dodoro. We know it.
I call bs on Greenwood.
I don’t think Hawthorn would let something like this out if it had any credibility at all.
Greenwood doesn’t look to fill a need or really upgrade anyone on our list in our best case 22.
So for me no... Not a Hawk next year
As for Clarko going to Adelaide to look someone, there are only a couple of guys that I think fit the AC mould of grunt & leadership & that’s Fogarty & B.Crouch... but there are no links as yet
EH is an interesting concept to add depth in defence & well within the mix moving forward.
Cogs isn’t a lock. There are way to many here convinced that he is. I suspect there will be heartbreak coming for some.
Massive $$$$ thrown around that will set him up for life.

Coniglio is genuinely undecided, or hiding his desire to leave.
I am near certain that he hasn't ruled out leaving just yet because of the utterances of Cameron and the Giants' CEO.
We are right in this.

We shall see, I'm still optimistic. What I will say though is if we fail on Cogs then I'll concede the Free Agency game just isn't for the Hawthorn Football club.
It also says 'AFL understands Hawthorn...' Which is code for it's been mentioned on BigFooty.

I'd like Greenwood. Contrary to what some people think, I feel he suits us perfectly.
Mid-sized forward who can jump, and clunk a mark as well as rotate through the middle, loves a tackle and loves the tough stuff. With our real focus to get the ball into F50 and either mark it or stop the oppo from marking, he's perfect.

IMHO you don’t get to mid July and are totally undecided in where your going. You also don’t meet with an oppositions leadership group once let alone multiple times either. Star players have a fair idea of where their going by round 17 and if I had to guess he’s keeping his cards close to his chest because he’s a RFA. Annnnnd we wait.
Yep, Hodge and Roughead are very good basketballers as well.
So you get a better value, more reliable, more fuel efficient and cheaper to maintain car? And it also has more doors, seats and storage?
Count that as a win.
He’s definitely a Clarko type player. He’s tough, tackles, kicks goals, accountable both sides of the ball, puts on blocks and positioning is next level. I reckon the positioning part is probably the thing Clarko loves the most though and is the main reason why certain guys in our team get dropped every now and then. Like any team it’s detrimental to the way we structure up on defence.
It will be interesting to see what importance level he is on bringing him across.
Frawley was an AA at his first club with a reputation for always taking and beating the best forward. While also being quick enough to run down smalls like jetta.Players who were also a bit meh at there previous clubs:
Henderson
Ceglar
Hale
Simpkin
Guerra
McEvoy
Impey
Frawley
Mitchell

Is the Cogs talk about speaking with other clubs in this thread genuine intel or a whole bunch of speculation?

This is correct. A-graders win flags and we are well short in this department. Flag winners usually have a minimum of 6 and we had 7-9 during our 3pete era. At a stretch we have 4 right now and the club will and should be going all-in to get Cogs and possibly someone else, otherwise, what’s this whole recruiting strategy in recent years been for?
Dodoro was coming mate. Was just a matter of when.
He must be out of there now. Clubs were just waiting for confirmation.
Stress less guys. Bombers, Tigers, pies, cats don’t have the cap space, demons have other needs but have a tight cap, Saints Roos and Blues are all without a coach. Dogs could afford but I have not heard they are a realistic destination.
If he leaves I’m still told it’s the Hawks.

You sure about that? Think about fantasies with hookers and all that!

McEvoy wasn’t regarded as ‘meh’ at St Kilda. He was touted as a future captain and we had to trade our first rounder and a player to get him.

If that's what you want to win you a big game of footy, be my guest. It's like comparing Brett Kirk to Andrew McLeod
