It's the worst secret in football that Fyfe has already had informal talks with Hawthorn and has agreed to terms. He'll be nominating them in Oct 2017.
The problem with all these trade scenarios is we're all Hawks so they're ALL slanted in our favour. Real world isn't going to work like that.
We've done some astute trading in the past, I'll wait and see what our group comes up with.
It's pretty simple, Freo would think their pick 3 is way too high and Hawks would consider Freo's next pick at 39 way too low, so there has to be a third party involved. Come in GCS.
The tactic that won us the game was moving Burger out of the backline where he was being ineffective against their talls and moving him to a forward flank, then moving Hodge out of the centre to be loose-man for the backline contests.
Sorry but I disagree completely on just about everything you've said. Firstly, the umpiring was atrocious considering the Swans were being paid soft, technical frees whilst we pretty much had to have been stampeded by rhinos just to get a push in the back, but that's what you can expect when...
That's a huge difference. Obviously losing Cyril is damaging but we've lost a back-up backman and ruck, a small forward and a runner - with the exception of Rioli none of those are in our best 22.
We bring in an AA backman, a marking forward and three corridor runners and only one of those isn't...
At the beginning of this week I wasn't feeling too confident, more nervous, but the closer it gets to game time I'm feeling like we'll give them a nice little touch-up.
We'll do this by 6-8 goals.
Hey fellow Hawkers,
Since this is the place to introduce myself then allow me to do just that. I'm fairly new to BF since it was modernised (and that should tell you plenty about the last time I was on here) and I tend to keep away from the main boards, or muppet galleries as I've come to know...
