Preview Changes: Round 20 v Essendon

[Vhaluus]

Maybe. But I reckon he would be in our 22 in a year we are in a red hit window. I would take 1 season of Burton that gets us a flag vs 10 from Doedee where we win nothing. Obviously this is extreme as Burton isnt injured and Doedee hasnt played. But basically I am saying - in hindsight - I would have preferred we took the risk given where we sit now. But can understand why we didnt.

Hawks also gambled on Jaeger O'Mearas knee.

You win some you lose some.

And if one if lever blows out his knee next week do we say the recruiters got it wrong

Yep. If it ruins his career we do.

Which is much less likely to be the case than Burton given the severity of both their knee issues.

But the reports on Burton were worse than just a regulation knee reco. So its not the same thing.

The same Hawthorn doctor who told them not to worry about O'Mearas knee?

No but I spoke to someone pretty close to him wh also said the doctors had given him the all clear and he would be fine

So not the same Hawthorn doctors that signed off on Jaeger? was that a different Hawthorn doctor was it?

At least stand by your argument Marty.
