Lewis on 360 talking about clubs and players with issues said Hawks thought they were strong enough to bring in players who were risks in 2010 and 2013.

Anyone know who he was talking about ?

Garlett worked out poorly

Lake worked out well. Until after his career ended.

Yeah around that time we brought in Gibbo Burgoyne Hale and recruited Smith and a bunch more. Also Spangher around then.

So even if we had a couple of issues we nailed the drafts and trades.

Was known as an excellent clubman at previous clubs so not so much a risk but more of a strengthening of culture.

Thats about how much notice you should give his insights

 

[HairyO]

Carl Petersen, Rhan Hooper, Lake, Garlett.

Lake played 3 years and won 3 flags including a Norm Smith.

I dont see how anyone sees that as a failure?

Where did Tyler, or anyone else say it was a failure ?

I'd say he's certainly talking about Garlett and Hooper.

People mentioning Lake haha that thought did strike me but I don't think that's what he means.

The conversation was about risk, not failure.

Lewis mentioned 2010 and 2013 as failures after the Hawks thought they were about to take risks.

Cotton On billboard just off the West Gate Freeway heading into the Power St exit has been taken down. Wonder if all the shenanigans have impacted his sponsorship, despite words to the contrary?

 

[KermitJagger]

Carl Peterson could've been anything.

Garlett was the one who could have been anything, and he had the world at his feet. Insane skills, drafted into the best club in the league, a club he supported with the player he idolised as a mentor. I would have had more sympathy about his drug problems if he didn't get clean before flying back to Perth and relapsing, seemed at the time like everyone from the club to his girlfriend were trying to keep him straight and he just couldn't do it.

Nope, still sponsored, just the end of the campaign

Obviously Lake was a success.

Yeh such a waste of talent. Clarko tried his hardest to convince him , he was still in regular talks with him and his family when he returned to Perth.

Im pretty sure he moved in with Hodge too. I dont think the Hawks could have done more.

 

[badgrill]

Sorry mate but you’re talking about a bloke who’s been accused and charged with multiple offences in relation to women including sexual assault. It’s not about “reigning it in” or the “easily offended” wanting robots, it’s about a bloke who clearly continues to fly too close to the sun with this pattern of behaviour, and is probably pretty close to doing something worse.

In terms of protecting women, the “harmless fun” excuse doesn’t and shouldn’t wash anymore (even if the women he was with was ok with it).

FWIW, I don’t think we’re talking about this if it was as an isolated incident, and the punishment seemed fine to me I really don’t care, but the bloke needs a reality check, and hopefully some of the conversation around this recent stuff delivers that (tho I’m doubtful).

What proof do we have that "she was alright with it"?

That she seemed okay in the video doesn't automatically mean she was (I know you were only replying to the previous post)

Garlett covered up his drug use in order to get drafted. We thought he’d straightened himself up, but he hadn’t.

His issues stem from a condition he’s had his entire life, that set him up to fail.

Certainly had issues, I do have sympathy for him - I just lost some given how it ended. He couldn't have been in a better situation to have resolved them.

I don't think we ever assumed he'd straightened himself out completely, there's a reason he slipped a year and 30 picks later than he should have.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

It was a shame how it went with Garlett, if he somehow could have got over his regular drug use he could have been something special.

Could have been the difference for us in the 2016 finals.

Roughead was the missing piece.
