Bigger impact - Lake to Hawthorn or Tippett to Swans

[SM]

If they manage him right, Lake will be pretty good for the Hawks. Just annoyed that it makes them even stronger.

Rorting the cap.

 

[Roughies Boys]

Tippett by a country mile.

Hawthorn folk are seriously overrating Lake he has very little left and will be gone in 2 years max

Yeah good on ya write off players why don't ya... too bad if karma hits the Pies... some of you supporters are stupid, Lake got third in the B&F count at the Dogs this year, also two years doesn't go that quick, I think it will be 3 or 4 years. Anyway we wanted a gorilla defender that is good now, not one that will be good in two years time, cause we have got Schoenmakers!

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Who cares? They'll be even stronger for what? 1-2 years? Then, unless they drastically alter their recruiting philosophy and/or get lucky with horrible picks, will fall off the radar very quickly.

Talking about the Salary Cap... how's Sydney's extra money....

 

[Roughies Boys]

Sydney need to reinvigorate their list (given no less than 5 of their starting 22 were over the age of 30), so its completely understandable why they're willing to splurge upwards of 800k on a second ruckman cum second forward that delivered in one game last season and has obvious issues with concession

Concussion*

I dunno, don't know what it feels like to have a bunch of super stars on big money, and then recruiting another one without losing a player, thought I'd ask you guys.

 

[Roughies Boys]

Sydney Swans fans sound like they are desperate to be rated as favorites...

 

[Tuco]

That makes him 10x the player Sam Reid is..

No, he meant Tippett has issues with the salary cap concessions we get, and wants to take them off our hands.

Nah, you should know what a family club is... you do support the Blood Brothers?

Well I think he's got problems with both!

Huh?

100% based on the stone cold evidence provided by the plethora of clubs in the history of this game who have attempted to consistently top up and recycle players to fill bit roles for short term gains, failed, and been left in the duldrums for years after.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

Hawks don't need Lake, baffling decision to pick him up. It wasn't the inability to hold opposition key forwards that cost the hawks in the prelim and GF, it was the inability of their own forwards to impact the scoreboard

Ah did you watch Tippett & Cloke being played into form.... not pointing at you or anything, why do you other supporters keep on whinging about this trade & Hawthorn's list... you jealous?

 

[Roughies Boys]

Huh?

Oh so Swans title Blood Brothers is just a metaphor....
At Hawthorn, players are on contracts that they would get more at another club, but they don't want to leave the club cause they've made great mates & they are united as a playing group

Firstly, Sydney don't tend to recycle 30 year old has been's. They recycle players struggling for opportunities and and with their best football ahead of them.

Secondly, one posotive example doesn't make an argument considering you'll find 5 negative examples per one postive.

Yeah, maybe. Maybe next year, or the year after, but after that? You guys would want to hope you win a flag in the next two years, because the failure that will follow is going to hurt for a while I'd say.

Podsiadly, Jolly, etc...

Not saying it will work out for us, but it has worked for others.

Obviously not every club can win a premiership during their window, but you have to do all you can to give yourself the best possible chance to prevail in September, and that's what we're doing.

Jealous of what? Another desperado Hawks fan trying to cling to this old chestnut, in an attempt to drown out their own club's epic failures. We've won 3 flags in 6 years, blooded 20 new players and lost 6 premiership players the past two seasons yet remained a finals team and Hawthorn still can't beat us through the years they were mean't to be the next great dynasty and continue to choke under the weight of their own expectation. What's there to be jealous of?
