    Franks for the memories. Things don't always go well with COLA

    It's pretty obvious... He was given 2 shots at this great club; and if IIRC Croad played some good football in 2001 but hadn't quite performed to the 'potential' he had shown in the couple of years prior, not anywhere near the magnitude of Thorp's under performance of course that is a given...

    Franks for the memories. Things don't always go well with COLA

    I can't help but ponder whether the Anderson trade was linked to some sort of mega deal. Gilham + Buddy via free agency to GWS. Anderson direct swap for Gilham. First round compensation traded back to GWS for Adams + late round pick. So in effect: Gilham/Buddy for Anderson/Adams/Draft pick...

    Trent Croad hits the 'dislike' button. His premiership medallion says different.

    I have taken the liberty of compiling the following list of total supercoach scores earned since debut (I chose sc as the scores are the best overall statistical measure available) for first round selections plus the other players you have mentioned in your previous posts from the national draft...

    Patton out Buddy in?

    If they can't lure Buddy, perhaps they will make a play for Jack Watts o_O

    Again, I agree that at pick 19 Smith was a steal for Hawthorn. At the time we were in desperate need of a quick, gut running, goal-kicking outside mid who could make an immediate impact and that is exactly what we received. The age old debate of drafts re-done is NEVER conclusive, so I guess we...

    Patton out Buddy in?

    I am not worried. Buddy can leave if he doesn't want to play for the jumper as far as I'm concerned. A love for the club and it's supporters, and strong culture amongst the playing group is more important than any number of stars in my opinion, just look at Melbourne. If buddy stays we will know...

    That is a fair point re age however I believe that even though he is 3-4 years older than the rest of his draft crop, he was equal or even behind in terms of his development when drafted, having not been a beneficiary of the mainstream system taking the country road. I think the players above...

    Yeh ok flog. Geelongs two first round selections of Smedts and Guthrie have hardly set the world on fire. Smith would go top 8-10 easily had the draft been redone now and would go around top 5 on output thus far. Excellent drafting by Hawthorn well done, credit should be paid where it's due. I...

    Bring back Joe Gutnick.

    Schoenmakers gets to have the final say

    Serviceable would describe the Eagles BOG today... At best. Shoey was exceptional and has taken huge strides over the past 12 months in becoming the A grade defender that we knew he would. Well done.

    How do you fix Melbourne?

    Spot on. One of Clarkson's first moves in resurrecting the Hawthorn football club was by weeding out the flashy match-stick types, and by promoting Vandenburg to captain who was in no way ever going to be an elite midfielder but wore his heart on his sleeve and played for the jumper week in and...
