Sam seen meeting with Hird today. Surely not??!!!

Where did you hear this?

He hates us more than anyone

Me either, but at least we are now in the game……we might well be beaten……but having a go. We have the tools to win. Money and capacity to play Bowes where he wants to play and we could have Pick 7, something that our rebuild needs and quickens it.

Tops if we did win the race BIG IF do you think we would go to the draft with two picks to get two top kids or do you think we would try for pick 2 and only get one kid do we want one of the top 2 kids that much.

Well, they were seen chatting in public.

Could easily have been a random encounter.

We need to replace Proctor as Box Hill coach.





Prob asking does he know anyone that could be interested

I have a feeling IF it happened that pick 24 would go back to the Suns in the deal.

In that case we use pick 6 and 7 every day of the week.

"Yeah my ol mate Sheeds is available"

I’m trying not to get my hopes up or read too much into this - but for MM to openly say these words seems to me that we’re in with a very real chance.

Cos he is going to get kicked from the board any day now

Think McKenzie is prompting Tom to tell them what he is doing. Obviously hasn’t spoken to the club about the trade request- I think it’s well on its way

To me it just makes the most sense for Bowes to come to Hawthorn over the other clubs…

We easily can absorb the contract but more than any other club give him the opportunity for midfield time…
I think he genuinely struggles for a spot at Geelong and Essendon…both clubs have 6-8 mids ahead of him no matter how well he plays…

If his preseason form is good enough- he walks straight in the midfield here… He needs a club where he will have the opportunity to prolong his career rather than be the steak knives with pick 7 that never really had an opportunity and flames out once the big contract is up…

Gee, it you'd hit U in that first typo instead of O I'd have a MILLION follow up questions.

 

[Rob R]

With Ollie Henry wanting to get to Geelong as well surely capwise they can’t fit Bowes in too.

Trying not to get my hopes but - especially with Bombers in the race too.

Lots of land down there available at special Geelong player rates.

Yeah, "poor" Bowes.

Err. That's well and good but he was gonna get paid that anyway, he HAS a contract ongoing with GC already! So my point stands. He is wanted by at least three big clubs scouring to get his services not mostly for his football ability but the number 7!

The German Hunter drunkposting is your wheelhouse, what do you rate this /10?

I have no idea what we would do. If we got two first rounders, 7 and say 16, I would expect we will trade up to get Sheezel, keeping Pick 6. That is because we have spoken to Sheezel and his team a number of times.

I have moved on the subject many times but the additional 16 AND 7 gives us greater flexibility and I think we will exploit it.

All that said, if it was not for the commitment to Sheezel, personally I would not make the trade and keep three first rounders and garner wider talent that I think we need.

Knowing this strategy was in play, I was scratching my head as to why we weren’t being more overtly aggressive. Anyway, it now appears we are. It is most reassuring. We are at least in the game……may not win Bowes over, but at least we are having a go…..we certainly have the money to satisfy both Bowes and GC.

Any way, let’s get to that problem. It will be nice to have.
