Genuinely think the exact opposite. Thompson is a 196cm athelte.
Shaw can play Footy when he gets a good run at it

No way imo.
I like the look of Siggins and I'm hopeful with another PS under his belt he will play a few games next year. Given our defensive stocks we need him to come on, and i think he will.
We know they both can play afl if required tho
Correct me if I am wrong but siggins wouldn't be ready yet?

Did they?
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

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.

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.
Also, there's the option of any DFA's or PSD picks. Could also upgrade Kelly but prob no need at this stage, especially with Cheney on the scene.
Minimum of 1 delisting, maybe more?

A bigger deal out west.

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.

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
he's miles better than Shaw. I've only ever got my hands on the ball twice at a home game, both times ..... Shaw. Spud with the ball. It's actually almost impossible to be that bad.
