No it isn't the answer for every player but it is our most recent example. As I read the article, Grimley wanted to leave during the trade period but there were no takers. But for our interest they probably would have kept Lisle too.
I'm pretty sure they'd just want him as emergency depth, particularly with Lowden gone.
On top of that, Hawthorn are at a different stage of their cycle now too. A few more years down the track and an ageing list, they might have kept Lisle had it been now and not then. They won't be so quick to clean out or let go of depth now as they were a couple of years ago, so the fact that Grimley was on the block, should sound alarm bells, as you say.
Maybe there were no takers at what they wanted for Grimley
pick 23 from memory! Hawks got the better of that one.
29 which they which they on traded to Fremantle for picks 38 and 56 for 29 58 and 71
IIRC Shane Kersten was taken with a mid-30's pick.
there were questions about kersten with his height and ability to be a key tall, similar to darling and membrey and we needed a ruck forward type to replace clarke. also kersten was expected to go in the first round
You seriously have no need for him, not that he can't play- he is a goer, but already your MF depth is extraordinary. Bundy Christensen is a HUGE loss for us, really, a genuine A Grade mid if fit. With the others you have selected, Beams in particular, added to Zorco, Rockliff, etc, you guys COULD get an established KF, KB while waiting for McStay to emerge- I see his upside as huge, and liken him to the next Harry Taylor.
Is that when they wrap the offending players testicles in wet lettuce leafs and then beat aforementioned appendage with a paddle? If so, more power to them.Although I expect "wet lettuce leaf" punishments, if real suspensions are handed out, he might captain the seniors yet.
