Oh look, the negative ninny's clumping together. Is clumping the right adjective? Whatever, the pair of usual suspects complaining and liking each others posts. Waiting for the third to join in. WHAT. A. SURPRISE!
Quick...look. .. Someone mentioned the T word...aaaarggggh

It seriously doesn't look to bad at all when it's put like this, I think the trades were fine, we will see how the 2 Hawks do later but at this stage, I'm not all that disappointed, will be interesting if Luke Thompson is now a goner, I think he will be the last delisting now. Use 14, 35, 43 and upgrade 2 rookies.


Cameron Ellis Yolmen to be delisted for mine , not a good enough kick to play in Midfield or the defence if you ask me
 
I have no faith in either of them making it as AFL footballers. I'd be happy with either (or both) of them being delisted.
I know it was a while ago but i thought Shaw showed a bit in 2012 has just been his body letting him down, definetly think he has shown more than LT he is just a spud of the highest order
 
You're definitely biased - and badly underestimating our Captain.

Well in the what 9 years he's played for our club he's really failed to show anything above average consistently, apart from that short stint under Bickley.

With the modern game, players we have at our disposal and most importantly the roles that need to be filled I just think we have better options than VB. May just scrape onto the interchange in my best 22, but even then im not happy with it.

The Geelong trade seems odd on the surface. I guess our recruiters see the talent available around those positions to be very even this year.

But if a gun of the competition gets drafted at 10-13, you can bet that this little trade will be referenced back to as one of our worst.
 
Does anyone else like the way Noble trades?

I imagine if we had targets coming to us or had someone wanting to leave he would be able to pull off something in our favour?

He just seems to think out of the box a bit more than other clubs. Like the way we got crouch and brown.
Picking up 2 players and keeping 4 draft picks.....

With the Charlie Cameron upgrade we can delist 1 more if we want.
 
I've avoided trades all day, but what the hell is with that swap of picks to Geelong? 10 and 47 for 14 and 35? I sincerely hope that doesn't blow up in our faces.

Only if we don't get a gun at 14 ;)

If we do then the argument will be we'd take them at 10.

Ok some brief thoughts;

First and foremost very happy with the acquisition of Luke Lowden. Forget the 1 game in 6 years. He is 23 and just about grown into a body that's a physical beast - 204cm and 102kg. That development does not happen overnight and happy it's been happening in Hawthorn's nursery. He's now coming into his peak age in terms of physicality.

He is more than just a ruck, he plays as a genuine forward to and is pretty consistent in his goal kicking. No surprise he kicked 3 in his only game and recently slotted 4 in the VFL semi final. He is a legitimate forward threat and spends as much time as KPF as he does in ruck.

He definitely improves our list - no question.

Not nearly as excited about Cheney. But we have him and so we get behind him.
 
We do........

An extra pre season and yes. He was close at the end of this year

Thompson can play as a kpd if we need him to (prelim 2012), I just think he was down on confidence last year.

Martin, well he was getting games this year. I don't think he is the best option but wasn't horrible.

On siggins I hope youre right. I havnt seen enough of our reserve side to be able to judge

I dont know why everyone goes back to that prelim.
He was terrible. Made so many dumb errors.

Go back and watch it. Trust me.

Martin is 27 next year. Wasnt horrible. But 27. Cmon
