My only concern about bringing in Rockliff and Lewis is kids getting disgruntled at playing in the VFL. We need to make sure that all of our young gun mids don't feel like they're being stiffed for game time and seek opportunity elsewhere - imagine if Oliver/Brayshaw/etc. walked out right before the older guys were dropping off/retiring.

It's a careful balancing act.

Also if they do come in, then giving Trengove a year might be a mistake in hindsight. No chance in hell that he gets a game next year.
 
Whats this rumour about Rocky coming to the Dees? What would your mob offer?
Veteran defenders, hard bodied mids, got a few handy blokes that have been pushed out by Goodwin.

TBH I would just take your 2017 first rounder... would probably be pick 14-18 if you land these trades. I like the Dees my favourite Vic club and its awesome that you have dug your way out of a shit pile. Hopefully the Lions can emulate your rebuilding success.

Injuries, my friend. We had an amazing run last year.

Lewis has been photoshopped out of the official Hawks membership banner.
Both Lewis and Mitchell were left out of the Hawks 2017 calendar which was released weeks ago.

Better playing of the odds than when we had a quarter of the year displaying players who'd left in 2013. #fistedforever

Yeah Collingwoods 2017 Calendar has Cloke on it.

Fair enough, should work in some handy vets and fringe mids for some kind of pick coming back. Would like to see the Lions have a bit more support for the young'uns.

I'd hope our young blokes would have more intestinal fortitude than sooking it up and leaving because they're being made to earn their spot.

Yeah, we don't need any more Chris Johnsons.
 
If youre good enough you will still get a game. If you want to crack the shits and find a game somewhere else so be it. This is why its good, the young players with talent who want to explore their options elsewhere will turn into draft picks. We need draft picks.

I have no issue whatsoever with us going all in to get better.
 
Lewis and Rockliff can play, this isnt moneyball Neeld shit, these are genuine A Grade AFL players.
Rockliff gets a lot of ball, but isn't very damaging, and has a poor off field attitude. No for me.
Lewis on the other hand will be a fantastic pick up.
