List Mgmt. Hawthorn 2018 Trade discussion NO OPPOSITION SUPPORTERS Part 3

[hawk65]

Did you just seriously suggest that we should recruit Brendan Goddard?

x 100.

Hugh Goddard?

 

[Breustiful]

What an absolute rollercoaster of emotions this trade period and this thread has been.

Happy with the INs. Sad to see Burto go but keeping the faith in Clarko and the club that they've done the right thing.

 

[Fastback]

I'll be honest - I'm shocked we traded Burton. I feel a bit crap about it. I was adamant we woudln't do it when the name first came up.

However, here's a list of players that have left this great club of ours and played for another, for vairous reasons. I've been upset on some level about all of these:

- Darren Jarman
- Dermott Brereton
- Trent Croad
- Mark Williams
- Nathan Thompson
- Jon Hay
- Josh Kennedy
- Campbell Brown
- Lance Franklin
- Luke Hodge
- Jed Anderson
- Jordan Lewis
- Sam Mitchell
- Brad Hill

And now, add Ryan Burton.

I was a bit crushed every time we lost one of these guys. I think Burton was awesome for us in 2017. Had a flat year in 2018 - but I think he's a gun and I really enjoyed watching him play. I wish him well at Port, and really hope they don't **** him up like they do with so many other promising players.

Which of those was 21 with versatility, leadership and upside credentials?

 

[JoeHawk]

Utter bullshit artist. Can’t believe no one in the media is calling him out on that backflip. How about an AFL investigation into that one Kane?

Don’t worry. Cripps and Cornes have been driving the propaganda machine here. Complete snakes.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Which of those was 21 with versatility, leadership and upside credentials?

Kennedy, Anderson, Croad and Hill (although, 23).

 

[matsta1975]

Ha Wright helped GWS fist the Bombers in the butt with the deal for Scully.
I rekon that's what GW was talking about in his interview yesterday

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Cripps appears so far out of his depth in his job.

He said Port has been in contact with Burton's manager for a number of years to see if they could bring him back.

Then admitted HE raised Burton's name when Wingard requested a trade.

So, in short, he lied.

Out of his depth but got what he wanted.

He's sloppy, but he did what worked.

Perhaps compare that to how many players we also received from others, some of which have recently delivered us premierships. I’m good with that if it pays dividends.

 

[MadDawg]

Are we done from a Hawks perspective?

Yep, I don't think Jeff's got another email in him for a while and pretty sure Graham Wright told him to hit send.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Jesus dude - Goddard???

Hugh maybe

 

[TallyHawk]

They were gutted when Ryan got the call to say his name was brought in to the trade. Fact.

Highlight the Cripps lied, tell'em to sit tight and we will get him back Croad style.

Croad was versatile and young (22 I think) not leadership

 

[matey]

Burton a promising youngster and spewing we moved him on. Was hoping we would keep him and get Chad with two first round picks. Always had this thought in the back of my mind that Burton would go back home at some stage ...... at least I don’t have to worry about this anymore.

 

[TylerDurden]

Dons. Plzzzzzzz

Maybe this time - you can only be a swarmy, lowlife campaigner for so long though when you are dealing with the same people.

There are short games and there are long games.

Acting like he did this week catches up with you in the end.

 

[Pessimistic]

Trade radio seem reluctant to blame Connors in any way.

Is he a Hutchy type wheeler they dont want to upset now?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

It's the reverse of the Gunston trade, except we got a gun player out of it whereas Adelaide didn't.

You make a good point.
Gunston, O'Meara, Mitchell are three young players we've got from others with potential upside. Add O'Rourke, Scrimshaw and Impey as more experimental efforts, but still in that younger bracket.

Burton had a crap year after his suspension and without Luke Hodge directing him where to run to.

He's got some football skills but will need to work on his maturity and intelligence.

Have they got any worthy free agents ripening for next year?

 

[Turtles all the way down]

Schadenfreude aside, isn’t it good for us if the Shiel deal falls through entirely as it will make it more difficult for GWS to match our FA offer for Cogs next year?

Hardly Connors fault * are a bunch of low life scum who whelched on the deal.

Hugh maybe

Lol... I knew I was going to get "Kanned" for that one...but would basically be for free even though a knob..however seriously could we possibly get someone or pick for Langford / Whitecross package deal at the last minute?

 

[MadDawg]

I'm not sure, but I know who does

The master plan has just been revealed.
