It's the future 4th round pick that we get though.
Ummm. I don't want to try and correct you REH but... we got a 4th rounder as well as the pick upgrade :)
Shit didn't see that in the tweet. Then I'm wrong and well done to Cripps. Although a pick in the 60's or 70's is a bit like Impey - iffy.

Although Jars has disappointed it must be remembered he is 22. I can't get myself past the feeling that under a new coach and with different players around him he will be burning it up for Hawthorn. But all we and Hawthorn could go on is what he has done, not what he may do and the resultant trade was probably fair. Not sure why anyone thought the round four draft selections would make any difference to the trade, though.

We will find out how much of a guru David Rath is, if he can fix up Impey's kicking.

If we get Watts, I reckon Westhoff will play a bit of SANFL next year.
No I see Westy playing that winger, sweeping Key defensive role when required...still think Westy has a lot to offer...mobile 200cm players are still hard to find and can still assist our young defenders...if we land Watts along with Marshall and Big Charlie that does free up West for that role...just a thought

Happy with Jars trade... he could explode at Hawks, but he could also flop as Clarkson likes good disposers.

Good time to trade him, next year he might have been worth a lot less....

Looking forward to his interviews. Will he be gracious about Port and the amount of support we gave him? Will be very telling imo.

Definitely a draft selection I'd undo if I could. All that development for zero. All that playing him in games to help the side for zero. We got nothing out of Impey and I guess it does happen.
We spent pick 21 and got back effectively pick 26. There have been a LOT worse.
