Can't believe people saying we should never have drafted H. WTF!! He has been a good player for us, only a few years ago pushed for all Australian and with a bit of luck could be a valuable contributor in the future. As for saying we should have kept Hale, that is ridiculous. Hale was running around with the Roosters before we traded him and couldn't break into our side and i'm more than happy with who we got from the draft pick from the trade.
C'mon everybody, don't hate... appreciate. Good luck Big H.
No one hates I admire Hale he's turned his career around at hawthorn- 373 hitouts in 17 games 14 goals tells me he's a better player than I at least thought.
Happy we got Harper we needed him more than Hale that's for sure.
McIntosh stays or goes I don't mind, although he'll never play for North again unless Goldy gets injured at a time that H is fit. Which TBH people have been 'sainted' for less.
My point was, I didn't realise H only had one knee, and fair enough those with a lot more of an idea than me decided a one kneed H is better than a two kneed Hale. I just think we should draft a back up ruck for our back up ruck is all.
And just i like admire Hale , If McIntosh leaves North I hope he becomes a great ruck for himself and his new club. But what would I know?
